• 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.

I updated OTA software/firmware on my 2024 S2S - anyone else seen the back-up camera option?

I find it interesting that you and apparently others are getting a blank backup screen when in reverse. I too have installed the update but do not get the backup screen. Maybe it is a Sea to Sky thing. I have a 2024 RT-L. Or, maybe it is because my January 2024 production date is before they started integrating that technology. I was going to open up the back end to look for that connector, but I now have doubts that it even is there on my RT-L.
Mine wasn’t showing up either… when in the menu, the last item down is the camera - enable that and I get the blank screen, with lines, on my 2024 S2S. It also has a blank plug at the back… I have done a few cameras and they no longer need a coax, the 3 wires there should be enough.

I'll be darned! I never thought to try scrolling down on that menu list. Sure enough, there it was. The option to enable the camera. Without a camera picture, the blue screen is a little overwhelming, so I disabled it. Now, to see if I can find that camera wire connector.

Need to take the back apart some... here's a photo I took... I don’t know for 100% if it’s the correct one, but that’s one with nothing connected to it (blind plug) as well the front left hand fuse box show backup lights and camera on the same fuse... left hand lower corner...

Any other updates on this? Has anyone tried plugging a camera into that blank harness and testing if a video feed shows up when in reverse?
 
I talked to my CanAm Dealer today re the rear view camera update for the 2024 Spyder. They have done this on some 2024 Spyder RT's and S2S's!! They actually replace the fender portion as seen in Dansy's post above. The camera hooks up to the harness seen there. The real expense is having to replace the fender with a 2025 one. They have tried a few times just cutting the 2024 fender to mount the camera but according to them its very thin and doesn't hold up. The fender lists for about $225, the camera kit $249, the labor is $232, and the total is $740.

Here is a pic from the camera... Kinda expensive, but we need something, as we travel with both Spyders in our 24 foot enclosed trailer, and it would help when backing one in - actually anywhere, but in our case, particularly into the trailer.

So whaddyathink?

The panel is actually a lot less then I would have thought… I might do it later, but I really don’t want to take the back end apart again, it’s riding season, well if miss weather start to smart the hell up…

If you think you really need it, it’s only money :)

Do you have a part number for the fender? I haven't been able to locate it in a brief search; I found the camera and will get that, but I want it to look stock on Dad's 2024 RTL.

Looks nice!
 
I've been following these camera threads from the beginning and became more interested when it sounded like any universal backup camera might actually work. A $30 camera from Amazon and a so-so matching 3 pin plug from the local U-Pull-it yard and I am up and running. I routed the pigtaiI and receptacle onto the cavity under the top case so any changes or adjustments can be made without major disassembly. I have the correct 3 pin plug ordered but it is coming from somewhere in mainland China so with the current tariff situation I don't know when or even if I will get it.

What camera and pin connector did you use for you set up?

@amkrat, can you give a link to the camera on amazon and give any details of the pull-a-part three pin connector you used (vehicle pulled from, location in the vehicle etc.) Thanks very much!!

Not sure how much help I can be here. I think almost any camera that you find on Amazon or Walmart will work. What attracted me to this one was the screen resolution and the ability to delete the camera grid lines. Hopefully you can expand the image below to see the camera details. At the junk yard I was simply looking for any 3 wire plug/receptacle pair that I would use to just do away with the Can-Am setup. I think I found it under the hood of a early 2000s Ford car but I can't be sure. It was a stroke of luck that the male pins lined up really closely with the Can-Am female slots, and were small enough to fit. Just dumb luck on my part. The housings don't quite match up so they don't snap lock together but there is no tension and a few wraps of black tape should secure them and keep any water out. If I had to do it all over again I would just go to O'Reilly's or AutoZone and buy a new 3 pin set.IMG_0347 Medium.jpegScreenshot 2025-05-13 at 9.53.35 AM.png
