    Default Free software upgrade for 2018 Spyder

    Just got a letter from BRP offering a free software upgrade for my 2018 Spyder.

    They say the current version is 13.20, which is what somebody mentioned on here recently.

    I am already scheduled for July 26, next Thursday for the 5,000 kilometres check up and oil change.

    My Spyder is at 10.50.

    Hope I get a letter with free upgrade as I have it scheduled for the 28 as that is the first opportunity they have to do it.

    Do I take this to mean that BRP is charging for software upgrades to their product, which by all accounts is a pretty big failure and they are not fixing this for free? I've got no dog in this fight, but really? For how many years have owners "Beta Tested" BRP's newest and greatest whiz bang innovations, and gotten nothing for it? I wonder how many years it will take BRP to get the bugs of of the "new and improved" dashboard? Just my 2 cents.

    Just in case I buy an 18 model at some point -

    Is there a way to show the software version through the dash - ie without buds or a dealer?

    Any opportunity to receive anything for free from BRP should be grasped with both hands taked with gusto.


    Did I say that out loud?

    Yes, there is.

    The procedure has been given on this site before and the letter describes it.

    Go to "Settings" and select "About".

    Note that this is for the 2018, I do not believe there was a way to get the software version for previous years.

    Were you able to get the update on your bike? Did the dealer have any trouble downloading?

    Thank you

    Default Just got a letter as well

    Just a received a letter as well. Apparently it takes just a few minutes. Anybody knows whether a dealer gets paid by BRP for doing this. My dealer is 4 hours away so if a dealer gets paid and it's only a 15 minutes job I suppose I could have it done at any dealer during one of my travels.

    Any idea?

    Thanks

    The question I would be asking is, what does this update fix and or add or take away.
