    Default Bypass BRP Connect

    If you are like me and 90% of the time you do not want to use BRP Connect, but you don’t want to take your Tupperware off locate the accessory terminal and run a separate USB to your glove box so you can charge your iphone without it trying to constantly connect to the Spyder , the attached video will give you my way of fixing this very simply in about five minutes time for under $10. Hope it helps anybody that’s As frustrated with BRP Connect as I am.

    Yes this works great. Phone must be paired to audio system of your Spyder to use the spyder's speakers. Turn volume all the way up on your phone and you will be able to adjust the volume of your tunes using any one of the three volume controls on the 20 - 21 models more efficiently. This audio system on the 20-21 models really cranks out volume. (I'm Using Iphone 11 )

    Cool... thanks for this suggestion. I have a 20i19 with connectors inside the Frunk. Anyone know a similar, and easy, solution for this setup?
    Thanks,

    For a 2021 RTL, if you just want the tunes from the phone, put them on a spare micro USB in your old spare phone with an unregistered SIM and plug it in with any USB in the rear trunk charging port. My LG works great back there. I paired it as a USB device, and not having BRPC on it or a way to download it, it just runs the music app. I see the song titles, can thumb through them (I set the player app to play them alphabetically, which ends up fairly random) as it shows up as the USB audio device.

    I'm trying your technique using an old iPhone (just in my hand at the moment, so not powered externally yet) and I can't find any setting on the Spyder (2021 Sea-to-Sky) where I try to pair the phone and BRP Connect doesn't rear its ugly head! Can you point me at the right steps please?

    Been months, but I believe that I just paired it normally and didn't have BRPC app on the phone (Android).

    I too did not have BRPC on the old iphone, and I could only find one way to pair it with the Spyder - where the Spyder was reporting itself to the phone as "BRP Connect"! It worked though - music from the phone came out of the Spyder's speakers.

    I cannot see such an option.

    The same way you tried with your XT, Big Mac. Plug your old iPhone into the glovebox connector with a data blocker, or power it from another source if you don’t have a blocker, ignition on, wait a minute to let the RT settle and activate BT, press joystick, scroll down to the Settings icon, select Bluetooth then Add Phone, make your iphone discoverable, allow the connection to “BRPConnect”. (It does not start BRPConnect per se, but simply BTs your phone to the Spyder). Start a playlist on your iPhone (you can’t do it from the Spyder) and then use your Spyder controls to pause, change volume, next track etc.
    It is hard to detail the steps, but that should be pretty close.

    I set mine up this way, but I wanted full control (i.e. change playlist, select an album etc etc) so I gave it away and simply control my music from my XT.
