• 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.

GPS Issue Resolved

This is a follow up to my post from last September. Back then I followed the advice I found on this forum and purchased the GPS interface harness from BRP and had it installed during dealer prep of my RTS. Well this never worked and according to BRP I needed to use their GPS in order for the harness to function. I was told this by two dealers. It took 4 months to resolve this issue and maybe they are correct because what I ended up doing was getting their GPS installed. Everything is now functioning. I was a little ticked off on the ride home because the same problems were present in that no voice prompts from the GPS & nor intercom function. Turns out it was operator error. I did not program a destination into the GPS and a damage upper helmet cord prevented the intercom from functioning. After programming and a new cord all is well.

:thumbup:A big thank you to Honda East's service manager Randy and the their Spyder mechanic, Dan, for being so patient and understanding and getting the problem resolved. Now I'm ready to ride so Mother Nature better start cooperating! It has been in the mid thirties all day with rain on and off and we're supposed to get snow over night.:gaah:

Glad to hear all is well. I am getting a CB/GPS installed and was following your posts. I would go ride my Wing if it were not so hot.....

Awww, I am sorry.....I did not mean to be cruel.....:ohyea:
 
Is this "fix" just for the 2010 models? On my 11 RTS I have the Zumo 660 that I purchased from another outlet (Get Feet Wet) and I have the harness from BRP (the little one that plugs in the connector by the right rear bag) and it works just fine. I have the J&M headsets and cords for both the passenger and driver and both work just fine. I paid around 600 for the Gps and think that if one has to buy the 1100 dollar version, that is an expensive fix. To end, I am glad it is working for you.

P.S. did anyone see this post?
