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.

That is not how ACP works. The screen image you see, the full maps and menu, is generated by the phone and passed over the USB (or wifi for wireless ACP) live. Its not passing just location information. Its also sending the full stereo audio tracks over the same connection. This is why ACP does not work over bluetooth, simply no enough bandwidth for screen projections.

Okay, so the phone is controlling everything.

And yet it works quite well on my 2024 Spyder RT, even with the older/slower USB connection.

So I'm still confused about why most of this conversation is happening, since Apple CarPlay works.
