Congratulations, I have the same Spyder and the wife and I love it. Wishing you many happy miles.

Congrats on your new spyder. When you mentioned most dealers did not know much about the dash, I became a victim of the exact same thing. After purchasing I checked the firmware version and it showed 10. I learned on this forum that the new firmware should be 20. I returned to my dealer in Fort Lauderdale FL only to find out they really don't know how to update it. I'm waiting to hear from Can Am on where to go.
It doesn't affect the ride and I hope you are having as much fun as we are with our new Spyder.

I hope you got this fixed. I made sure they new that after the new update you should see a readout of how many miles are left in the tank by the fuel gauge. That is a quick way to make sure it is up to date.

Thank you, you too. I always chose red and black vehicles, but I really like this blue.

Blue is better! My dogs collars are blue too

New ride!!!!

:congratsn your new ride...I took delivery of mine on 5/10,in White, and I just plain LOVE it!!!! Had a 2010 I traded in because it was costing me too much in repairs...the last one was $1200 for a new dash electronics...paid the bill and traded up...you will find that you need to go to a BRP dealer..(don't buy from some jamoke that only sells them as a sideline)...fortunately I found one, a good one...they deal Can-Am 4 wheelers, SkiDoos, and motorcycles (Spyders, F3's and Rykers)...I was surprised that they sold it to me with Firmware of 11.0, and when I discovered the problem (by reading this great Forum), I called and the Dealer maintenance guy said bring it in....15 minutes and $0.00 charge and I left with version 20 Firmware...

Still having problems getting everything to communicate with everything else, but that's me, a 1stG guy living in a 5G world....pps:

Thanks! I am guessing that is a pretty common problem. I think I figured most of it out also, now it's just a matter of what will work with what.
