• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Can I get GPS on my 2024 S2S 10.25" screen; or GPS Software/Hardware, Apples to Oranges, or maybe not...

    Thanks for trying and that is the way it SHOULD work. But it does not. Sending to my phone, it only gets the destinations, not the route edits. IE it replots the route without the edits going back to the fastest route to the destination. Just tried it again to be sure if some update had...

    Be advised that forum admins edited my original post and mucked up the links to the devices needed to purchase. Sending folks to all sorts of fubar ebay locations. I fixed them.

    Android Auto (wireless) for 2024 and up Spyders now available and working

    Yes, any usb power source will work as long as its powered BEFORE the instrument cluster is booted up. IE if it powers up with the key, this solution will not connect as the the Binize box will not have time to boot up and respond to the cluster handshake when asked. It just does not boot up...

    For motorcycle use there are still a few areas where Garmin does things a phone cannot. One of which is ROUTES. Google maps, under both Apple and Android does NOT support routes. Only destinations for which it calculates routes on the fly. Google maps in the cloud and presented on a browser DOES...

    10 year parts law - will parts for the 1330 engine/trans still be available into 2036?

    You do not have to work by paint codes. It's easier but not the only way. GOOD body shops have optical paint scanners that can auto mix to match a color. That is how my Spyder ended up Harley Blue Burst to match my Wife's Street Glide.

    10 year parts law - will parts for the 1330 engine/trans still be available into 2036?

    You are right and its more of an industry norm not a law. For some specialty vehicles manufactures have even used it as a sales pitch or promise to new owners. When I bought my Ford GT in 2006, there was an express written promise from FMC to keep all parts available for ten yrs. I can tell...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Still working out bugs but getting closer. Wireless Android Auto on Spyder 10.5" display (2024 and up).

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Would rather not say just yet until the major bugs as squashed and its mostly working. But I will start a new thread when we get there.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    I finally have Android Auto displayed on my 24 F3S screen. Still some bugs in the dongle software but the developer has been very helpful. I think there might be a working solution for this coming.

    Anyone found a Wireless Car Play/Android Auto Adapter that works with 2024 and up Spyders?

    GOOD NEWS! I have a dongle that is showing promising signs. I have AA mostly working on my F3 and still working some bugs out with the developers. When its worked out and serviceable I will post the information but thought I would let folks know, it may not be the dead end we thought.

    Which should I choose, BEST or Revolos Extended Warranty?

    Not true. It's honored at ALL Can Am dealers, just the same as the factory warranty. In fact, it's administered and claims are paid the exact same way as your factory warranty. If the dealer does warranty work, he does BEST claims. Simple as that.

    TricLED Sequential LED Turn Signals & Running Lights - Anyone else having issues??

    Has not been our experience. MUCH better customer service from Lamonster Garage and Spyderpops. Still failing. Get the Show Chrome ones from Spyderpops.

    Forever mystified by Can Am's lack of style...

    This is why I was happy to buy my new F3 in factory primer finish. Was nice of them to have it prepped and ready for my custom color.

    2025 Improved Sea to Sky Tires, how are they?

    They are still crappy Kenda tires. Just different crappy Kenda tires. MUCH better options available when replacement time comes. We much prefer Yokohama replacements but there are other good ones too.

    2019 F3 T - How to access the bolt on the front of the rear caliper? Exhaust and brackets are in the way.

    No need to remove the exhaust. Just jack up the Spyder from under the rear of the frame to remove the weight and the rear axle will drop far enough to get to the caliper bolt.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    OEM plugs are just fine. I am a Spyder tech and have literally done hundreds of oil changes. Using the correct tools and torque, they come right out, go right in, and don't leak. The one in your photo was significantly over torqued when installed. The same will happen with a hex head version...

    Cruise control not working after replacing switch - does it need to be coded with BUDS to work? Any ideas?

    The right control cluster does not need to be initiated in BUDS when replaced. Only the throttle sensor does. You could also use BUDS to diagnose the switch inputs to see what is not working.

    Anyone found a Wireless Car Play/Android Auto Adapter that works with 2024 and up Spyders?

    Just in case anyone was wondering, the new Ottocast P3 Pro that just came out does not work with the Spyders either. Still batting .000
