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.

There is NO BRP CB option available from 2018 on. Your best bet is a J&M Electronics unit mounted on the handlebar. They supposedly have a Bluetooth adapter available for it but it's not in their published product list. Your other choice is a handheld like one from Midland connected to your BT helmet headset using the Sena SR10 adapter.
Do an advanced search for "CB radio" and the user name of Flamewinger to learn what one owner has done.
This'll be that advert: https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?142595-BRP-CB-Kit-New-in-the-Boxes
Check with "Little Blue" the weather man!
I have a 2019 RTL and if I could have found the unit could have installed the factory unit but because of all the criticism of the factory intercom I opted to avoid the factory unit entirely. I didn't want a handheld unit rigged to work and had experience with J&M CB 2003 and there is a blue tooth dongle available for it. I bought the blue tooth from Sierra Electronics and it is a J&M factory unit. I use my phone for gps and music and it connects through the blue tooth unit. Om the rare occasions that I have used it to talk on the phone the other parties say I am loud and clear and cannot tell I on on the road. I can initiate and receive phone calls and it works flawlessly. Made my own handlebar bracket and mounted the antenna in the left hand antenna plug. Very happy with how the unit works and talks. The only downside is that initiating calls is a little awkward. Hey Siri does not work through this connection. Also, you may have to search for a new CB unit as I believe that J&M has discontinued the CB unit.

On my 2018 RT and 2021 F3 I use a Midland 75-822 mounted to the center of the handlebars. I use the Sena SR10 BT adapter with PTT extension button. My setup is using the built in antenna and it's powered by a 12v USB power setup from SlingMods or Spyderpops or LaMonster garage.

Won't work with the new cluster design from 2018 on.
As Little Blue mentions in the advert...
. And it is the advert Ex-Rocket mentioned & also thought might not be compatible. :thumbup:

It certainly looks like that is the case. Too bad. New is not always better than old. IMO Bluetooth won't totally displace CB until it has a long range, reliable group communication, and superb compatibility between brands, all of which have been the strong points of CB for over 50 years!

There seems to be a law regarding DMA best practice guidelines in the EU preventing bluetooth mesh communication between different brand headsets. It's being worked on but until then we're stuck with what we have.

I'm a truck driver. With no more use nowadays that I see, I'm not sure it's worth having a CB.
