• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Audio System wiring?

OK I "have heard" that even though my 2012 RT has no audio system, the wiring to the speaker housings is there as part of the basic wiring harness. Is this true? What I'm hoping to do is to be able to use/wire in an audio player of some kind into the audio wiring if it is already there as part of the basic wiring harness? PS: Would this be more trouble than it's worth? To get a spyder AM/FM radio and speakers installed will cost almost 800 dollars!
 
Yes it is there for the front speakers. I do not think the wiring is there for the rear speakers as that was an add-on for the AC version. But I am going by memory so I maybe wrong on the rear wiring.

WIRING HARNESS

IMHO .... all RT's have the same wiring harness, it would make no sense ( economically ) to have different ones for different RT models . However since the GS - RS never had any Radio system ( and missing quite a few of other RT's systems ) they may have there own wiring harness.......... Mike :thumbup:
 
Wiring Harness?

Is there a wiring Harness diagram that might be available to find the leads to the front speakers do you know? I just want to connect a lead for a mp3 player or smart phone. If the front speakers aren't there I might just chuck the whole idea and just sing to myself & the wife. She thinks I'm a pretty good singer anyway, at least that's what she tells me!

Your best route to get the info you need is to invest less than $30 to obtain a copy of the service manual. One seller is Canammanuals.com. I believe all of the service manual copies they have include wiring diagrams. The manual is a superb tool to have when doing ANYTHING with your Spyder! :thumbup:
 
I guess I don't understand why a person with no audio system to begin with would consider anything but a bluetooth setup to their helmets?there are so many options and price ranges out there and it is so easy.
 
RD0 main connector that plugs into the radio.
This connector is right under the right passenger grip cover.
