    Question Need to remove grille to get behind the speaker - How?

    Howdy do to all,

    The previous owner of my 2020 Spyder RT Ltd said there was a Pedal Commander stashed behind the right speaker (I know there are two grilles; he was not specific), and that I could remove the grill and then pair my phone (via their app) to it.

    I am at sea here. Any step-by-step would be greatly appreciated.

    On my 13STL, they just pushed in - small tabs in a few places to line up. Otherwise just careful not to bend & warp them out of shape

    I'd be afraid of cracking them. Phoenix heat in the summer gets over 110, making plastic brittle...

    I would be more afraid at removing them at -20 F then at 100 F ..... Look at a Fiche' for your year & model Spyder.... it will show you how it's attched and where .... good luck .... Mike

    They are very easy to flex and will pop right out. Use a small flat blade screwdriver, nail file, or preferably a plastic body trim removal tool at the outside edge and pry it out toward you.

    A butter knife works great, but I don't tell the Mrs.

    Cool

    Got her done.

    With a WickIt Stage 2 ECU tune, Akropovic exhaust, and RLS Cat Delete tube, this thing was an unruly monster. Fast as f#-#-ck, but neck snapping shifts. Turns out the former guy had the Power Commander set to Sport +4 !!!. I dialed it way back to Eco , and with the bike set to Eco, my wife no longer fears to drive it.

    With the WickIt ECU tune, less than half throttle makes the bike tame in all-Eco setup. More than half throttle, and all those extra horses and torque are instantly available. I have the best of both worlds.
    Now, one day I'll put the Power Commander in Track Mode, and this 78 year old might be posting from jail in the future.

    Thanks again for all your kindly help!

    I just use the app via BT. No need to mount it or take it out of the cubby.
