• 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.

Installing Rear view/backup camera - what wire & where to trigger it?

Back up camera: I have a 24 RT and the dealer installed it the other day. They ran into a problem when doing this because I had a Show Chrome electronic fuse block with OEM connectors.
They had to unplug the Show Chrome accessory to allow the back up camera to work.
I contacted Big Bike Parts and they shipped me a Plug N’ Play Connector Harness 41-265WI at no charge after I told them what was happening.
I plugged this harness in and it worked with my back up camera.
I took the wires out of the 41-265WI and transferred them to the empty slots in the old harness and then plugged it back in. Camera worked!
So two things, 24 RT Limiteds can be retrofitted with the Cam-Am stock camera and you can modify the Show Chrome accessory wiring harness to allow the camera to function properly.
Is this camera available from brp or Aftermarket and how much did it cost.

The camera is available from BRP at https://can-am-shop.brp.com/on-road/us/en/camera-backup-kit-can-am-219401199.html. It is $249, but if you have a 2024 Spyder you also need the rear fender from a 2025. Those run something like $230 on BRP parts sites. People have had luck with aftermarket cameras for as low as $20 to $30 off Amazon or similiar. With that approach, you have to build your own mating cable and mounting scheme though. I'm planning to give the aftermarket approach a go.
 
As for my 712D, I hooked it all up via my bluetooth and only use the BRP Convict for keeping my phone charged.
As for the order of connection, my Android is connected to the 712D and my Cardo Neo. The Cardo is connected to my phone for primary channel and my Garmin is on the secondary channel. The 712 is connected to the phone and RT through Bluetooth.
It sounds like a bag of snakes for a setup, but it works like a charm for me, especially since I primarily use the 712 as a dash cam and active rear view mirror (I have limited ROM of my neck from an old injury). Now I just have to wait on the parts from Ram Mounts to complete my idea to clean up the dash area and get rid of the "Junk Pile" esthetic.

For anyone with a 2024 Spyder RT, this camera works like a charm, and can be mounted easily right below the license plate frame on the flat surface horizontal to the ground. Looks OEM. I tried two other brand cameras, and neither would provide signal. Installed by you, it will run under $50 compared to the BRP solution. I forget who found this camera, but it is a great recommendation.
