More 2024 RT Limited Issues - Heated Passenger Handgrips not working!

[XEXMNR]

So I have had my 2024 RTL for a month now with no Apple Car Play. As others have said, this was the main selling point that prompted me to trade in my 2020 RTL. As of today 3-15-24 my Spyder will connect with my WiFi but the system says no updates are available.
I have been able to go into "media" and play music from my iPhone using bluetooth, but that is not all I wanted. I would like to be able to use Waze for navigation. I hope to continue to follow this thread for any updates. My dealer and their service department are clueless.
I appreciate this group.

I took delivery of my 2024 RTL on February 29th. I guess you could say it's a leap year baby. At that time, I was told "In a few weeks". Then I was told middle of March, and yesterday when I took it back to the dealer, they said they have no idea when the Apple Carplay will be available. Can you say, "Class Action Lawsuit"? This comes awful close to false advertising in my books. It's not only the RT series but every model that BRP markets, including some of the high dollar off road stuff.

I was told the same thing, "Hope it'll be no longer than 2-3 weeks", and that was a note that came from BRP. Well, that date went bye, and still nothing...

You're correct, there are other items that use the same system and use apple car play, I hope those customers are complaining to their dealers too.

Jusy picked up a brand new 2024 Sea to Sky, Sat, March 16th. Was told the dealer would contact me when the update to make Carplay work comes in. NO time frame given.

BTW the driver's seat back rest is adjustable, just like all other Spyder RT's... two notches on the seat post for height adjustment and the tilt/rake screw hidden inside the back of the cover. Really hidden well... you gotta tilt that forward all the way to get to it. Same adjustment as usual; clockwise to tilt back more; anti clockwise to tilt forward more. To adjust the height, open the driver's side seat, then pull the T-bar latch forward to unlock the seat back. Move it up or down as needed. The notches are close to each other so maybe 1/2" total of adjustment up or down.

YMMV

I have been told, and read in multiple places, that the software updated required for ACP to work will be an over the air update you can do at home over WiFi. When WiFi works that is, as mine is hit-or-miss if it wants to connect or not. At least we shouldn't have to take the bike in for an update to make ACP work whenever BRP gets their act together and finally releases it.

@jfischer... my Sea to Sky is back at the dealer with blank screen issues; U0155 and the B2215 heated lever error. I will have them do the Apple Carplay update that has the solution to these issues and the ability to restore the Carplay to functioning once it becomes available... (sheesh, what, it's 5 months now!) That will avoid any "over the air update" issues. Being an MB owner, I have little faith in those OTA updates, as many times they go wrong, fail, or lock up the things they are meant to fix. Check out the MBworld forums for the horror stories on those.

I really don't care about Carplay as I use Samsungs, but I do care about getting everything working as it should and certainly about actually riding without errors or blank screens. Getting my Sena Mesh working would also be nice.

As I understand it, the update for CarPlay will be available over WiFi when and if it's released, so it won't require a dealer visit. Also, the hang tag does say Android Auto is coming, but I wouldn't hold my breath for it to happen anytime soon.

Just spoke to BRP on 3/28 and I was told early to mid April on the update for Car Play

Hope that's true, when I contacted them at the start of March they told me 2nd week in March, guess that was BS.

Thank you for update, and your input about a possible lawsuit.
Right now the system is useless, you can't use any of your iphone app on the spyder, besides listening to music from you iphone.
I can't believe we all spent 30K to go backwards in conductivity with our iphone, at least with my 2018 RT I was able to sync my iphone to the spyder and use the apps.

As for what you said about the dealer, mine did not have a clue either, I found out more info from this site.

Here are some fault codes that show up on my 2024 RT, UO115 and B2215.
the UO115 is loss of communication with cluster
The B2215 is heated lever open or short circuit. Heated lever? Now I had one on my snowmobile, but this is a spyder, not a snowmobile. Bad coding I am thinking, didn't remove it.
