• 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.

Has anyone else had Update issues from their dealer on their 2025 Spyder?

I am thinking about buying a Spyder Rt but a friend of mine took his 2025 in for the first service and the did a update on it and now his Apple Play doesn’t work and they can’t figure it out. Any one with issues after there first update from the dealer
Thanks in advsnce
 
I have a 2024 Spyder RT and regularly check for updates over a Wifi connection. Apple CarPlay didn't work when I first bought my Spyder, but did after a software update. It's worked fine since then.

Do you know what version of software your friend is running on his Spyder? I believe mine is 4.1.0
 
Even my new 2026 S2S needed the S/W update over Wi-Fi when I got it home. If it updates beware there are times in the update procedure when the screen goes black for a minute, several times. Just be patient and it will eventually spring back to life as the installation continues.

After updating to 4.1.0, as the latest, Apple CarPlay seems to work OK.

I just connect my rider, not passenger, Sena SRL-2 communications to the bike, along with the phone. I keep the Sena interconnect communications between rider and passenger so when I stop the bike and turn it off my wife and I can still communicate. I didn't think using the Spyder as the hub between helmets worked all that well. They say it's best to connect rider and passenger helmets to the bike and not to each other for best results, but it doesn't seem to be a problem for me, but then again I don't listen to music when I ride (my wife hates my choice in music).
