• 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.

    DESS Key code again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Thanks for the info. Funny thing is, we bought this Spyder brand new. It had been back to the dealer a few times for some warranty work but none of it was ever for a DESS issue. We just recently had the DESS issue, that's why I changed the module to the latest part number.

    This is what I'm talking about. I don't believe that is the antenna.

    DESS Key code again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Also, one odd thing I noticed on the old original module was it had something that looked like a cylindrical magnet zip tied to it that a couple of the wires looped through it. That just looked like a major afterthought to me.

    DESS Key code again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hello all, I just installed a new DESS module in my wife's 14 ST Limited. I was under the impression that there was a procedure to make the new module recognize the 2 keys? I installed the module and was ready to go through the process and it seems to have just automatically recognize both keys...

    DESS Key code again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Thanks for the info! I'll have to drop him a PM and see if he's interested. I'm hoping it was just a freak incident but I highly doubt it. Is the DESS module plug and play or does it require coding with the BUDS software? Meaning, if I buy the module, can i install it myself?

    DESS Key code again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Is there anyone in the vicinity of Connecticut that has the software to shut off the D.E.S.S.? My wife's 14 ST gave her that fault today, once. She cycled the key once and all was fine.

    2014 ST-L Fuel Vapor Smell and Drip from Canister Vent

    I ended up having the dealer replace the canister under warranty. Then I took it home and added a longer section of hose that goes from the fuel tank to the canister. I routed it so it went way up under the center console, then added a loop so there was no way for gas to flow up the hose and...

    Searching for St radio kit

    I found this, but I think when you actually try and order it they'll say it's no longer available but maybe you'll get lucky. https://leadersrpmshop.com/can-am-spyder-roadster-rs-t-am-fm-integrated-audio-stereo-system-st/

    2013 Spyder ST

    There is no recall for it. It's more of a courtesy from Can Am if the customer comes in complaining of high heat while riding. This a "the squeaky wheel gets the grease" kind of situation here.

    Searching for St radio kit

    The factory kits from Can Am are discontinued and pretty much non-exsistant. You might get lucky finding one but I doubt it at this point.
