OK I am still trying to help people with a Bluetooth harness for connecting to the Entertainment harness. As you know I have done it for direct connect to the radio RD02 connector but I still am trying to get the wiring to one of the CB connectors which the BT cable hooks to when you have the entertainment harness.
So I decided I would bite the bullet and just buy one. HOWEVER I go on Ebay or other sites and there are 3 models.
#219400201 - This appears to be the first model and is discontinued I guess. Plenty for sale though.
#219400439 - This is what the BRP site lists today but says temporarily unavailable!

I don't see any for sale on Ebay of this number and other cycle shops that sell BRP parts list it as out of stock. I few do have it.
WTF?
#219400534 - This is what Stevedfive listed as used on his 2014 and sent to him from BRP and his dealer. Other cycle shops that sell BRP parts list this as the replacement for #219400439

And if you look around enough on BRP's site sure enough for the XM radio they list needing #219400534

This makes it very difficult for someone wanting to buy one to know what the differences are with these cables and especially compatibility! Which do you order? Logic would say the #219400534
BRP really needs to fix their web page here and provide more information about what has changed with these. It might explain why some people have issues with things not working 100%. Perhaps they got the old cable and thus has some problem. There is a reason BRP changed part numbers! Stevedfive said that connectors changed on the #219400534 so if that's true I expect people will be having even more problems with this as time rolls on!
Sorry for the rant :gaah:
But I am frustrated!
