On my 2025 F3-T, I discovered that the 2 power connectors, one under the passenger seat and the other under the left hand access cover, are not there. Well, I didn't actually discover that, my mechanic did when he installed the power cord for my heated gear. If you are thinking of purchasing a 2025 F3-T, then this is something that you might want to consider.

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.
The Customer Accessory Power Connectors are not there on my 2025 F3-T!

Your mechanic could be right, but you should check it out on the electrical schematic in the back of the shop manual for the bike. When I hooked up the aftermarket fog lights on my 2019 F3, the wire for the customer accessory circuit under the left access cover had no plugs on it at all. It was just a chopped off wire with a tiny shrink fit cap over the end, and it was taped up in a bundle of other wires, from the factory like that. If I had not pulled the tape off it could have easily gone unnoticed. The one under the seat was the same way. I had to really look to find it. If it is supposed to be there, it will be shown as a dead end wire on the wiring diagram even though it is taped up in a bundle with a lot of other wires. The color code will be showing a wire going into a bundle of taped up wires.

There are NO shop manuals available yet for 2024 and 2025 Spyders of any model.

Try Haynes, they seem to have 2024 F3 repair manuals. Somebody has to have manuals. If not the dealerships are working on Can Am models in the blind without even a Parts manual? That does not make any sense.

There is a customer accessory power port on my 2024 Spyder RT Sea2Sky.
It's behind the plastic above the right front wheel.
I installed a CAN-AM 2020 RT SPYDER 12 VOLT DOCKING STATION SRT20-1U12 (1-USB, 1-12 Volt) I bought from SpyderExtras.com.
The Acrobat PDF Installation Instructions are here:
The first 3 steps are mounting the docking station. Steps 4, 5, and 6 are removing the body panels to get to the power connection.
Step 7 has a picture showing the power connection.
The rest of the document is how to connect the wires for the docking station to the power connection. The kit includes a "Y" wiring adapter for the connection.
And of course then putting all the panels back on.
When my Spyder is turned on, the area around the USB connection on the docking station lights up blue.

Thank you for this information. I will check this on my 2024 F3S
He spliced into the wires for the fog lamp switch. Fog lamps are not offered as an accessory on the 2025 F3-T, but the wiring is there for the switch as are the mounting points for the lights. The fuse for the fog lamps has an amp rating that will handle both the gear and the lights, LED's, should I decide to have them installed at a later date.

I spent the week with the BRP guys. The product guy, Felix, sent an email back to the electrical shop, as he did not know.
Said he would find out. I looked around, but didn’t see a wire on the F3LTD we have.
The stuff we asked stumped them about half the time. Considering how much new stuff there is on our fleet, they did great!
The new 10.25 screen, apps, functions and controls are great. I can see a learning curve, as I am dazzled by bright lights and shining screens. The Canyon is a whole new world! I like it a lot.

The "normal" "Customer Accessory Circuits" are not there anymore. However, I can give you two suggestions. On the F3, on the left side of the bike, about even with the edge of the drivers seat, there is a capped off connection for a GPS. It is a switched 12v power supply. Also, on the right side of the bike, at the right edge of the battery, (you have to remove the battery to find it), there is a capped off connector that is for the optional front light that would be mounted at the front lip of the frunk lid. It is also a switched power supply. If you will not be installing a gps or the frunk light, you can you these sources of switched power.

Hi @cptjam, I have a 2024 F3 Ltd, with the big screen that never works, or that stops by itself (CarPlay). I am an IT guy, and BRP forgot to deliver, AGAIN, with this screen, sound, & integration system. They should refund us some money, just because of this.
I have installed a Carputer W702Pro today, you should find accessory power at multiple places on the bike.
There are two official spots to source power, one located under the passenger seat at the back, where there is a wire with a grey plug, that you can hook onto. There's another one on the left side of the bike, just before the seat, tucked behind the panel. You need to remove the service panel first, then unscrew the other big panel with torx screws. Here is a picture. I will connect to this wire when the unit is tested.
The third option is to hook up to the fog light wire, this one is located at the front, behind the Can Am logo. This is a very accessible spot, but I would leave this one untouched as it is not 12V switched, it only turns on when the bike is running.

The 2 customer accessory power points you reference were deleted for the '24 model year and beyond. They no longer exist. The GPS power port and the power port for the signature light still exist.
Just here to thank Jetfixer for the help. I used the GPS plug under the seat to bring a 12V switched cable to the service panel on a F3 Limited 2024. Does a very clean job.
PS: I know Lamonster Garage has a pre-made harness for exactly that but it was more convenient for me as a company owner to buy the connectors and wire instead and build it myself.
