• 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.

    About the charging power, just came across this in BRP Go's FAQ page: SHOULD I USE A SPECIFIC USB CABLE TO CONNECT BRP GO! TO MY VEHICLE’S 10.25″ TOUCH DISPLAY? Yes. Recommended cable stats: USB 2.0 or higher, supports 3 amps, offers a data transfer speed of at least 480 Mbps, and is no more...

    As of today, can't connect any more BRP Go App to the Spyder... Same phone, same cable... Tried it all in all kinds of order... Was nice while it lasted... Not reliable and very annoying... Thankfully I finally wired the Garmin Zumo and it works flawlessly.

    I'm myself am not an user of the mobile app, I use a Garmin Zumo. But I'm sure I would use it if the Spyder would support Android Auto. Still I've been using MRA since the beginning as my planner, have all my routes there... You can still use the desktop app and export the route to whatever...

    For those who use mobile navigation, I would recommend you check the MRA (My Route App) solution (it once backed Tom Tom devices) Supports desktop, mobile+ Carplay, and Android Auto. Loaded with features, constant development, so it is, for me anyway, the king of them all. Too bad the Spyder...

    Anyone know where to buy them or what the F3-S EU tail turn signal part number might be?

    Look in the Can Am parts finder: https://can-am-shop.brp.com/on-road/us/en/shop/sales/parts

    August 17th 6:30 PM ET for BRP Can Am and Sea Doo 2027 lineup event

    So here's the "new" Ryker, with an undertuned 900cc instead of the 600cc (which didn't make much sense)... It surely doesn't look new to me, more of an arguable facelift... Personally not a big fan of those kermit like headlights they are spreading all across the lineup... The previous...

    If I understand the readings and my math is right: 00h 03mn 20s would be about 0.05556h of time (https://www.inchcalculator.com/time-to-hours-calculator/) 0.297Wh in 0.05556h corresponds to an average of 5.4W of power (https://convert-formula.com/wh-w) So if this is true, the port managed to...

    Well, I'll say it again, I'm convinced there's no way my phone would have kept the state of charge during that +2h trip at 0.5A... So, I'm about sure charging power should be above 0.5A. And power was actually increased to 1.5A with the introduction of BC1.2 (2010, 4 years before USB-C) to...

    Today I tried navigation via BRP Go (2024+)...

    I'm sure at 500ma my phone would've lost charge while navigating with the display screen on for over 2 hours, yet it kept the charge at 80%. If it's a USB 2.0, then 0.5A is the standard for computers (launched more than 25 years ago), but it has been revised for chargers to support charging...

    Today I tried navigation via BRP Go (2024+)...

    Little update. +2 hour ride today, tried a new "fast" braided cable from Amazon, just lost connection momentarily once. Locked the phone charging to 80% and it was exactly at 80% at the end of the ride. A bit hot, but surely the USB port can deliver much more than 500mA? This time I was able...

    No more Coast-to-Coast seat upgrade for the F3 - anyone know Why? Any alternatives?

    There used to be a seat upgrade for the Spyder F3, I believe it was called Coast‑to‑Coast, but it no longer appears in the accessory list on the website. Why on earth was it discontinued, and is there any option available that isn’t third‑party...

    Yep, but says it's standard for 2026.

    I would say, you can't go away without any available network to send and receive each other locations, so it should be either cable or wifi to access the network of the mobile phone. But then there's this: https://ski-doo-shop.brp.com/us/en/ski-doo-gps-module-with-group-ride-860202990.html...

    From what I've read, it's needed for the "social" features, like group rides/sharing your position with others. But yes, the off-road vehicles support navigation through a topographic map that is loaded (through wifi) to the unit without any mobile phone connection. So maybe the on-road...

    I can confirm this, I have planned and ridden several itineraries created in BRP Go, they are all there, accessing the map and tapping the icon on the top left (like the picture above). Also from there you can rename, delete, duplicate, or share any previously created itinerary. There's an...

    Just checking, but did you/have you updated the Spyder display to the latest available version? Previous versions will not interact with BRP Go, only Apple Carplay. Also, make sure after that you have enabled in the Spyder settings navigation to BRP Go and not left it set on Apple Carplay...

    If you mean shape points, you're right... Only via points available, but that's enough for me... I've followed an itinerary with 17 via points and it worked really well. OK, only 500ma is really lame, that would explain why the battery was draining... So supporting a wireless connection would...

    That's good news, I'll have to try this myself... And maybe other apps which work with the 7.8 inch display will also work with the 10.25 inch.

    I did know that for the 7.8 inch display that beside BRP Go! some third party apps were supported like: Dash Radio, Fobo Bike, Cardo Connect, Genius Maps, Sygic, Rever, AccuWeather. I was not aware that those worked also on the new 10.25 inch display, I'll have to check this. Thanks for the...
