Probably because BRP has no business relationship with Apple. BRP Connect is a version of Bosch's MySpin, and Bosch is the supplier for the software that makes the Spyder, and its engine, operate.

Anyone that thinks that BRP is gonna fix BRP Connect is wishful thinking, 'in my humble opinion'. I don't really care 'cause I don't use it. Again, that's just me, not wanting to start anything. I cannot imagine anyone fiddling with that program while underway, that's a death wish. Mods wanting to delete, please feel free.

I agree, BRP Connect and BRP Go are both rated badly in the app store, and in my experience, don't work well on my Spyder, but if you care to look at the website the dpetrick posted you will note that BRP is indeed combining the two app into one, it's just not out yet. There is a big "Coming Soon" at the bottom of the page. Just a FYI.

Well maybe there is reason for some good expectation, we shall see, but not expecting a miracle.

My point in posting was to inform that BRP is doing something with the development of the app. Possibly they will make it easier to use and more functional. This could indicate that they are listening to what users are saying and trying to make improvements. Time will tell if they do make it better, so I am willing to give them a chance, before dismissing the app. My riding season could be over by the time the new app is released.

For those of you who are frustrated with BC you should take a look at comments about the Nissan Connect app. It has a rating of one star, hasn't been updated for a year and a half, and I think it was successfully used by only a small handful of users!
For those of you who like Apple Car Play, how many use an Android phone to connect to it? Sometimes there really is an advantage to dealing with a monopoly as opposed to open market competing suppliers.

Apple CarPlay (and probably the Android equivalent) require a minimum screen size that the Spyder doesn't provide.
That's one reason you probably won't see it on a Can-Am.

I use android auto and like it, I use Cadillac cue and like it, I use uconnect on the Ram pickup and like it, I use BRP connect and like it!
ALL of them have there glitches and require a reconnect or restart at times, just like the computer I am currently using does.
As for people who use BRP Connect having a death wish, it is much safer and easier for me to control every function on the screen, maps, phone calls, music, and fobo, with the joystick under my thumb, and the button under my finger while firmly holding onto the handle bars than it is letting go, and looking down at where on the screen of my GPS or phone to push.

Wow, all the negative comments that are unfounded because you haven’t seen the NEW BRP Go 2.0 yet. Too funny!
It’s different. Looks a lot like Apple CP. maybe if you all actually checked it out you might like it.
Oh, and if you check out videos on Apple CP on Goldwings you’ll find it more complicated than BRP.
This is the new BRP Go.

Looks like BRP Go 2.0 was just released in the last day or so. It is on the app store for download.

Looks great, do I have to have the bike updated to use it, or just download the new app?

I played with the new BRP Go. It appears to be working fine but then again I did not have any issues with the old BRP Connect app. Once you understand how to use it, it works great.

OK, I have downloaded and updated to Go v2. Works the same as BRP C but with a different display. Any idea what has happened to the “Music” option (iPhone music) that was part of BRP Connect, Flamewinger?
Postscript…..I have found the answer….they have not included the music or maps sections in Go V2, but hope to add them “at some time in the future”. So it is a step backwards in reality for me. Sounds like a pretty stock, half complete app release by BRP. Maybe those prior comments weren’t “too funny” after all, eh ? BRPC or Go have sooooo much potential……I would loooove to use BRPC or Go, but they fall down in a number of key areas for me.

so I just downloaded BRPGo, and am reading the FAQ section they offer and recommend for set up. Lots of reading to do
They mention a free app called "Dash Radio", looks pretty good. oops just read where you need connectivity,is that right?

I was never able to figure out BRP connect, heck I havenot even successfully been able to bluetooth my SRL2 to the bike radio (don't even know if that is possible)
(seems SRL2 has its own radio that is so difficult to navigate radio stations, so no thanks) But I digress , so much reading involved, wish there was a video explaining how to, or a spyder rider near me that knows
I do wish BRP would work with a Spyder rider person and compensate them for a very involved how to video. There was a 1:40 second video introducing BRPGo, with no real info.
Gonna go down to the garage now and see if I can figure it out and report back here.
Since Flamewinger has got it working lets encourage her and others to share!

Yeah, dash radio lets you hook in to radio stations, Ticket, and yes, you need connectivity……but I want to play my own music from my iphone. The biiiiig plus of BRPC is the joystick and controls to let you easily play/manipulate your own music…… without that, in my opinion, Go v2 is a step back from BRPC.
I’ll stay with my XT as my “server” at the moment. I has a far better GPS function and screen, and lets me play my music (albeit with a more cumbersome controller than the BRPC joystick), lets me use my phone, use weather and traffic options, and lets FOBO notify me if there is an issue. It also supports SIRI, which BRPC does not. It also connects seamlessly at Spyder start up, without having to go through the BRPC connection rigmarole, and leaves your phone unlocked.
If BRP modify GO to add “music” again, I’ll give it another go.
Psssst…..Flamewinger is a woman

……WARNING……
The rotten sods have taken BRPConnect off the apps store, so you can’t download it once you try BRP Go, so you are stuck with the music less version. Why doesn’t that surprise me ?

Gosh darn, that is too bad, and I just deleted my BRPc.
Good, No great news I figured out today to get the RTL radio in my helmet, not just the exterior speakers.
Now I can take long rides. Also I can now take phone calls too!
Got the syndic maps to show on dash, but boy is it cumbersome to load an address.

I am not sure if this is only on the new bikes but on my 2021 RTL I can use several music apps such as Plex and Spotify via Bluetooth connected through the bike and all works good including controlling the track, play, and pause. Both these apps allow to download the music local for off-line playing.

Hahahaha….so you found the Speakers/Headset button on the tank, Ticket? I didn’t find it for a couple of weeks.
…..and yes, you really do have to input a Sygic GoTo address using your phone before you set out. It is very cumbersome trying to do it through BRP C/Connect.
