    Default What other Upgrades on the 2015 RT Limited

    I can only "see" that there are:
    A. 2 new color options( Intense RedPearl & Circuit Yellow Metallic), and
    B. A different model Zumo GPS.
    Does anybody have inside information as to what other changes have been made on the 2015 Limited?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    From what I have read and heard, it is all pretty much cosmetic, not a lot different from 2014, which makes
    sense, as they seem to have got it right on the 2014

    Another person mentioned the electronic "frunk" release is back for 2015. I have not been able to verify that yet, but hope it is so.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    The "Frunklid" button is back...
    They've incorporated it with the foglight switch...

    Come spring, I see an "upgrade" coming. I have missed my "automatic" trunk.

    It looks like an easy addition to the existing bikes...

    I agree turning the key to open the frunk is so much more work than pushing a button. What was BRP thinking

    Are you aware that you can open the frunk with the engine running. With the engine on, simply depress the key and then turn it to open the frunk.
    You can also open up the seat with the engine running using the same procedure.
    If it ain't broke, don't break it.

    I know I know But its just not the same as having a real button to open the frunk. I got spoiled on my 2010 and 2011's.

    You know, I was just thinking the same thing. If BRP were really classy, they would have a remote key fob lock/release like the Goldwings do. I remember using it at least twice during the 10 years I owned the bike.

    that's right. Most of the time I would forget to hit the button before turning off the switch and would have to push and turn the key anyway on my 2010 RTS. I really don't miss it at all on the '14 as you can open it with the Spyder running anyway. Some folks want it and that is fine but I have found that it is not needed.
    Happy Spyderlovers

    Hopefully they've added Bluetooth to the audio system, they are way behind the times with still having to plug in your iPhone/iPod in the trunk, with an outdated cable at that, maybe they've at least went to the Lightning cable to plug in a iPhone 5/5s/6. How about power on the dash for all models, that would be great.
