• 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.

    Impossible to get service

    I purchased a brand new 2018 Spyder RTL from Broward Motorsports in Ft. Lauderdale, FL 15 months ago. A month after I purchased it I brought it in to have the BRP connect updated...it is in version 10. They tried to update it and said something is wrong and will call me when they figure it out...

    2018 RTL GPS/Accessory 12 VDC Keyed circuit

    I routed a 5ft usb cable from the frunk to the center of the handlebar, through the blank switch plate next to the fog light switch. I have the techmount plate and mount. When I plug into my note 9, I have the brp connect system available, but can go back and forth to use xm radio, pandora ,a...

    How do you mount your phone to the Spyder?

    I have a new 2018 RTL. I installed a techmount made specifically for the spyder https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HKPY8L0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and this phone holder also made by techmount...

    Review: BRP Connect. With only 10 reviews is it still possible to talk about solace in #?

    Just installed the techmount phone holder. Ran a 4ft usb extension from the frunk to the mount. Now I have the best of all worlds. Can listen to xm radio, check out weather with radar. and still have the brp connect for my sygic maps. The only thing is if you go from the brp connect to the phone...

    Review: BRP Connect. With only 10 reviews is it still possible to talk about solace in #?

    I just ordered the techmount for the spyder so I can keep my Note 9 in front of me instead of in the frunk. I'll be able to use xm radio, weather radar and other apps that will not work through the brp connect system. I will run a usb extension from the frunk to the mount so I will have all...

    I am so dumb... I did it again!

    I don't want to answer that question for Chiisai, but I think he is going to say no. The only apps that are displayed on the BRP display are maps, weather, rever, sygic and now ESR. XM radio will bluetooth to your speakers, but can only be controlled by you phone. Unfortunately Can Am did not...

    Review: BRP Connect. With only 10 reviews is it still possible to talk about solace in #?

    Ok, Here's a review. I purchased my new 2018 RTL a month ago. I was a little confused about the set up of the BRP connect, but it didn't take long to figure it out. Was I amazed, no, but very pleased with it. Can it be improved. Yes and I think they will be working on that by making more apps...

    Took the plunge, new 2018 RT LTD

    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...

    Dealer tried to update BRP Firmware.... FAIL

    Took the new 2018 spyder RT limited to my dealer to update to 20.8 from BRP version 710005255, CSS version 010.05 GSS version 010.05, dealer plugged it in and he said he got all sorts of error messages, he chose not to do it. He says he needs to order a whole new dash, something tells me that's...

    CanAm Towing system user comments?

    That's not how we got to the moon...by opinion. Trial and tribulation. I will like to reach out to the distributor who sells a lot of tow equipment and see how many were sold and maybe a way of contacting them and get an actual account. My concern is the windshield pulling away from the reverse...

    RV towing question

    It's really weird how some vehicles with automatic transmissions can be towed 4 wheels down with out doing anything other than connecting them up. Good Sam puts out an RV guide showing which vehicles can be towed 4 down with automatic transmissions. Most GMC vehicles like the Terrain, Acadia...

    Running cable from front trunk to phone mount?

    Just got a 2018 spyder RT limited, love it so far but the only mod I would like to look into is not having to keep my phone in the front trunk for the BRP system. I would like to run a 6' or so usb cable to the front handlebars, I assume someone here has done this? any write up's or any info...

    BRP Connect

    Just purchased a 2018 spyder rt limited. It took a little bit to get used to the brp system, but got it to work well. Most of the buttons are a little stiff on the bike because it is so new, but in time they will be broken in. I use a lot of different gps apps and programs. I still have Navigon...
