• 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.

    GPS mount compatability

    I purchased an extension for the antenna which I tuck the end behind the back seat/rest. I mount the antenna on top of the rear saddle with velcro to maximize exposure. I transfer the antenna between the spyder and the truck so it is handy. The instructions do say not to have the antenna near GPS.

    Please, I need help with an electical issue.

    In order to maintain proper voltage you must solder all connections, then heat shrink the connections. It sounds like the voltage is dropping due to poor connections.

    Mark you are correct, the antenna is the receiver and I think that is the problem. That is why I think a regular xm radio has better reception. I bought a 6 foot garmin extension from GPS city in calgary, Alberta, Canada. It works OK.

    Garmin XM antenna

    I mounted mine on top of the trunk using velcro. I find the reception still not as good as the automotive factory install. I think the quality of the antenna is not as good. It is a different style of antenna.
