    Default 2018 BRP catalog... RT passenger arm rests.

    I realize that its very early to ask, but it looks like BRP is introducing passenger seat arm rests. Anyone know anything about them?

    Default Swing arm change

    Must be some sort of change to the swing arm on the 2018 RT. The previous trailer hitch is listed for 2010 - 2017 and a new part # for the one for 2018.

    Electronics options are apparently different. The XM satellite receiver, the BT dongle, the CB communication system, and the cell phone interface kit, are all now listed as being for 2010-2017 with none shown for 2018. Maybe the CB and XM are coming later in an altogether different configuration because of the new cluster. The BT dongle and cell phone aren't needed for 2018, I don't think, as the new cluster has BT connectivity.

    GPS accessories are still listed for all years RT so I take that to mean an external GPS can be added on the 2018 even though there is one in the the new cluster.

    2014 Copper RTS

    Tri-Axis bars, CB, BajaRon sway bar & shock adjusters, SpyderPop's Bumpskid, NBV peg brackets, LED headlights and modulator, Wolo trumpet air horns, trailer hitch, custom trailer harness, high mount turn signals, Custom Dynamics brake light, LED turn signal lights on mirrors, LED strip light for a dash light, garage door opener, LED lights in frunk, trunk, and saddlebags, RAM mounts and cradles for tablet (for GPS) and phone (for music), and Smooth Spyder belt tensioner.

    Not a thing, other than it was a comment about the 2018 catalog, which is just released. I looked through it for clues about changes to the 2018 RT and just wanted to share them. There have been questions raised about the fate of XM, CB, and GPS due to the new cluster. The hitch kit change was unexpected.
