• 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.

I found an app called rev for the iPhone that is really nice.http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/...trics are specific to vehicle make and model.

Rev is the first and best iPhone application to connect directly with your vehicle.

Rev is an application for the iPhone and iPod Touch that monitors, displays, and records real-time vehicle data. By communicating directly with your vehicle's ECU via its OBD-II port, Rev is the first iPhone and iPod touch application to give you complete access to everything you want to know about your vehicle. Real Time Metrics

Rev can monitor and record several vehicle metrics in real-time:
  • Vehicle Speed (including 0-60 time)
  • RPM
  • Fuel Consumption
  • Engine Coolant Temperature
  • Fuel Pressure
  • and lots more! *
*Supported metrics are specific to vehicle make and model.


I downloaded the lite version and the skidpad and GPS monitors are really good. I was wondering if anyone has used the wifi odb-II dongle with it I would like to be able to check fault codes and monitor things like throttle position, steering angle etc. I am not sure what codes and metrics are available for the spyder. If you have used this or connected a PC to your Sypder throught the ODP2 port could you let me know what metrics it supports



I am using my iPhone as my motorcycle computer. it gives me phone and wifi and gps. I have a J& M bluetooth headset and it is great too. The mechanical quality of the device is execlent and the speakers are the best I heard it support stereo also. I have tom tom installed on my iPhone and it works well. With voice command i can control my ipod music and make and receive calls. I can also hear the voice directions from tom tom. I listen to pandora around town through the 3g connection. always have access to the weather channel and live radar too. With the adition of Rev and the odp-2 Dongle I should have pro grade performance monitoring and logging too.

again if you know what metrics the Spyder ODP2 port has post it here

thx
 
the stereo volume is great and the speakers are the best i've seen. I got a scala q2 and returned it right away. The speakers also have connectors and they have a couple options of speaker size. I mounted them in my helment and packed some foam around them. they are as good as most stereo headphones.
 
Are you sure the Spyder diagnostics port is OBD-2 compliant? I thought it was proprietary. That is why their connector and their BUDS program is necessary to diagnose and interface with it.

That is why your Scotty and we are not

The VSS and ABS is from Bosch and was originally designed for a car (thus the two sensors on the rear wheel.

It just might be that the rest of the system is in fact OBD-2 compliant in order to work with the VSS and ABS. Might just be worth a try. I doubt that you will hurt the system by trying.
 
I thought all vehicles where required to have a obd2 port now the buds software is bro specific though
 
But "all Vehicles", when translated into Canadian French, doesn't include Spyders!:joke:

Still worth a try thou. Good luck and keep us posted.

The law requires that all cars and light trucks sold in the US of Model Year 1996 and newer must be OBD-II compliant . It does not apply to motorcycles.
 
Intriguing idea. I have tried to use my iPhone on my bike but my Zumo 660 is very limited. Works for the phone but not music and I have never tried to use it direct.

Now all we need is a HUD display. lol

Why doesn't you iphone work for music? I use mine for phone, music and GPS
 
You can hook a Veypor up to the Spyder and do much of what you want to do:

I've got the VR2--- have not even touched the advanced features--- just had some fun with the 0-60 and dyno features.
 
No. Its the limitation of the Zumo 660 which everything sort of hubs through. It will get my number off the phone but they have not updated so it also access my playlist. I can listen directly but that means choosing the Zumo or the iPhone. Just wish Garmin would wake up sometimes and listen to what customers need.

Are those HUDs still available? The website seems a bit sketchy. And how hard was it to install?
