I bought one of these a couple weeks before christmas at best buy for $150.00. It last for days on a charge and sounds great!

Oh my goodness I bought a similar speaker has 2 speakers, USB last for a long time on a charge for under $25. I am not being critical but I hate to see anyone pay this much for a great unit for $25.00

LOL, its all good. I prefer sound quality over price. Mine was 1/2 off over the holidays so Im happy.
I cannot stand poor sound quality period and the less expensive ones just didn't do it for me, and I like it LOUD so I don't have to be in the same room to hear it.
Oh and the BT signal strength is good enough to have my phone anywhere in my house without a hiccup.

Back to the spyder, I would like to know why they don't have an accessory mode? Maybe they decided its just not worth the headaches from having dead batteries all the time.
My past Gold wing 2006 wouldn't last 30 mins with the radio on acc probably due to the electronic liquid crystal display, so the spyder is the same with a big display that sucks the life out of the battery quickly.
I hope BeRight find his comfort zone on his other post too. Hope I don't have the same issue but for now its the 2018 that's killing the knees.

I guess you weren't aware of it, but the RT accessory mode would shut down when the battery voltage dropped to 12 volts. That was to prevent exactly what you're saying.
