I have the BUDS to OBDII adapter. Is there any software available to owners that is affordable to the average user? My windows software isn't reading it.

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.
Is there any Owner affordable BUDS?

I would suspect that using a OBDII reader unit, rather than trying to adapt to a phone/tablet/computer via Bluetooth would remove a set of variables from the equation.
I tried quite a few OBDII adapters via Bluetooth on my Range Rover, from an iPhone and an iPad with numerous reader apps. None worked. I gave up and bought an OBDII native device, which actually worked. Obviously I have no idea which brand might work with your Spyder. I use an Innova brand as it supports Jaguar Land Rover trouble codes.
Note, an OBDII reader is only going to read generic codes applicable to all vehicles. The BRP specific codes, of which there are many, probably won't be accessible to anything but a genuine BUDS system. You may be able to reset generic codes, perhaps, but anything outside of that I truly doubt will be reset-able. You certainly won't be able to calibrate any of the BRP systems or modules I would have thought.
