• 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.

Playing music through Samsung Galaxy

I purchased a 2012 RT Audio & Convenience. I purchased a 3.5mm audio mp3 player input cable. How do I ply music from my Samsung Galaxy?
 
Dash Mount???

If you are planning on having your phone somewhere around the dash then I recommend getting the VLC app from the google store. Best player app I've used. Plays music or videos. Make sure you have enough memory in the phone to keep plenty of music.
 
I bought the audio cable that plugs in inside the trunk. The phone stays in the trunk and is supposed to be controlled at the handlebar.
 
THAT AUDIO CABLE

I bought the audio cable that plugs in inside the trunk. The phone stays in the trunk and is supposed to be controlled at the handlebar.
I'm the least likely person to give advice on this .........however my understanding is this BRP cable only supports up to the IV series devices after that you need a different adapter...( which is available - but not from BRP )......I don't know what level the Galaxy is ????... Mike :dontknow:
 
You can also purchase a Bluetooth receiver and plug into that cable. Works great, better sound quality. Amazon TaoTronics $14 Great deal. You can have your phone wherever you what

I am not sure who told you that a Samsung phone (Android) can be controlled from the dash. That is incorrect. A 2012 RT audio system is compatible with Apple products for control from the dash and handlebar controls. So for your Samsung all you can do is plug it in and listen to whatever it plays. The only control you have is volume and mute.

This is correct and Billy knows his electronics.

The Samsung is the same as if you use an MP3.

Honestly, your better options are an old IPhone with music only an IPod or maybe one of the other Bluetooth ideas others have mentioned. Many have purchased used IPhones or IPods, downside is you will need the other Can Am adapter cable.
 
why don't you just mount your Samsung to the handlebars so you can control it and then Bluetooth it to your helmet speakers?.:dontknow:
 
I have a Jabra Bluetooth that I keep in glove box.

Mount Galaxy to dash (rpm analog gauge is where I put suction cup)

Bluetooth Galaxy to Jabra----
Run Jabra to FM radio &

Boom! Got tunes, use maps program etc

This is correct but just to add... When you plug a Android phone or MP3 player in with the 3.5mm plug, you do get some control. AUX will show on the dash so you won't get much there. But you can play and skip forward or back a song using the handlebar left and right buttons. So you do get some control.
