    JohnRuckus,

    It is listed in the Instrumentation section ( Echo Mode Smart Assist,https://can-am.brp.com/on-road/us/en...special-series ) it detects if the driver goes over the white line or the yellow line on the roads. When the driver goes over the white line on the road, it beeps at you.

    Glad I bought my 21 base F3 for $14.9k. They would have priced me out of the market with the prices now.

    The previous versions were called pearl white. That was a nice bright white, with metal flake in the paint. I really want to see one in person now.

    With all due respect, I don't think that's what it means. It says: "ECO mode smart assist". Without the comma, I'm taking it to means a direct reference to the ECO mode engine tune/mapping.

    It would be nice to have lane assist, but that would require integrating a radar module, which would also make adaptive cruise control as a feature. That would be a huge advertising point, plus a large price jump.

    KX5062,

    I was just throwing that out there. Thanks for the clarification.

    Maybe globally if you count all the cheap Androids sold elsewhere. In the US, iPhones are > 50% of the market. Guessing the US is the biggest market too for the Spyder, but I don't know for sure.

    I just sold my 2017 Spyder RTS since I'm moving and it would be pain to transport it. But I will be in the market for a 2024 for sure. Loved the old one, and having CarPlay will be huge for me anyway.

    Interestingly enough, CarPlay is the one thing I've felt was really missing, so I'm glad it was added on. I understand those of you who are use Android are disappointed, and I agree it should also be an option.

    I completely understand why there aren't major upgrades, but it really is long past time to do more with the color choices, at the very least.

    I saw Smoak's video from the BRP convention. Anyone hear anything about getting Apple Car Play on older models?

    I watched the videos CanAm posted to their Youtube channel. I'm an Android user, but even if I was an Apple user, it would not attract me. Maybe fixing the radio and amp, auto mode switching would be attractive. My '06 GL1800 had much better sound. Giving a way to skip acknowledgment of the nag screen (let it time out after two months?) would be welcome.

    I am an Android phone user. I can not use the Car play on the 2024 Spyder models. I am keeping my current bike which is a 2023 F3 LTD Special Series.

    But I do I like the F3 LTD Special Series Cognac Metallic.

    I haven't. The new display is only for the '24 models and I don't know if there is a simple software update that can be added to the older models.

    I haven't been on here for quite a while.
    I saw the new white S2S in Ottawa, Canada. I think it looks beautiful. I would say "pearl / tooth enamel" would best describe what kind of white it is.
    I heard several years ago that BRP would offer an even larger engine than the current 1330, but, alas, that hasn't come to fruition.
    Until then, looks like I'll be hanging onto my 2016 RT Ltd.
    I now have 90,000 Kms on her (56,000 Miles). Will easily roll it over 100,000 Kms this season..

    Cheers all from Kingston, Ontario.
