• 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.

    2024 Spyder issues make me wonder if I should buy yet?

    This is my 18th motorcycle, the last three were Spyders all before that were 2-wheelers. I am mechanically inclined and do most of my own maintenance on my cars and my bikes. What I cannot do is re-write Can-Am's code for the head unit or fix it. I am at the mercy of Can-Am to eventually...

    2024 Spyder issues make me wonder if I should buy yet?

    Mechanically my 2024 has been fine. The head unit is an absolute disappointment. No Apple CarPlay as promised, WiFi will rarely connect to even check for updates - with great signal strength even. BT is flaky as all get-out and has become so unreliable that I have about given up on using it. I...

    Apple Car Play download initially failed! NOW Finally available....

    I was unable to get my iPhone to connect via BT today also on a long ride. Only way I could get it was to forget it on the bike and the iPhone, and re-pair. That would last until the next stop, then it would refuse to pair again. I'm getting really tired of this!

    It is hard to do. I bought the 2024 with ACP because I moved to a new state halfway across the country. I do not know the roads here and having the Navigation feature was the entire reason I bought it. I can make do by having the navigation read me the turn instructions and looking at my Apple...

    Possible BATTERY issue and/or unexplained electrical, electronic Gremlin

    These new 2024s were manufactured probably late 2023 or early 2024. This was most likely Can-Am being cheap and not a supply chain issue. Since they've been putting in these low-quality batteries for years now, they figure why spend more than we have to? Penny wise and pound foolish.

    Yeah but in the US and Canada, iPhones make up 60+ % of the market :) Probably the two biggest markets for Can-Am.

    Apple Car Play download initially failed! NOW Finally available....

    The issue for many of us is that WiFi simply doesn't work reliably on these units. I have great signal strength in my garage, and maybe 1 time out of 25 it will connect. It will not connect ever to my iPhone's hotspot even in 2.4GHz mode. Yet my iPhone shows it connecting immediately after I...

    Apple Car Play download initially failed! NOW Finally available....

    Still can't get mine to connect to WiFi at all. Not to my home WiFi, or to my iPhone hotspot set to "Maximize Compatibility" which forces 2.4GHz. On my iPhone the icon shows up right away showing someone is connected to my hotspot but the Spyder never connects successfully on its end. So...

    2024 RT new issue - music going silent once the bike starts!!

    Had something similar once, bike went into Radio mode which I never, ever use. Couldn't figure out how to switch it while riding so just left the sounds off. After I stopped and then came back for next leg of ride, everything was fine and haven't seen it since. I have almost 1,000 miles on it...

    Brand new 2023 RT with an Oil leak, Dealer won't help, what now?

    A lot of places, retail, etc are told that the minute you mention lawyer they are to shut up and ask you to leave the premises. Happened to me when I was younger at Best Buy. I mentioned taking them to small claims for a defective cordless phone and they asked me to take the phone and GTFO and...

    2024 Spyder issues make me wonder if I should buy yet?

    I have almost 1,000 miles on my 2024 RT Limited so far in two months. No issues other than the well known Apple Car Play fiasco. Oh, and the heated seat wires came wired backwards but that was a 1 minute fix. I did upgrade the battery to a 350cca model from Batteries Plus, it just seems to have...

    Anyone put BajaRon Ultra Sway Bar on a 2024?

    OK. They looked pretty vertical to me when I buttoned it up, but now that I've ridden it a bit I'll check them out again and confirm. Thanks!

    Anyone put BajaRon Ultra Sway Bar on a 2024?

    Does the way the arms are next to the plastic pieces on mine look like what you'd expect? The arms are just inside the plastic and it seems like maybe the plastic is pushed outward a bit.

    Anyone put BajaRon Ultra Sway Bar on a 2024?

    Maybe, but didn't seem like it would be that easy. Have to see how the plastic wears along the side of the arm. Doesn't look like it'll be too bad.

    Anyone put BajaRon Ultra Sway Bar on a 2024?

    Here's how the arms ended up sitting just inside the plastic pieces when I finished. The distance from the arm to plastic is virtually identical on both sides, but the shadow makes it look little bigger on the passenger side. I am going to take it out today hopefully for a few hours to really...

    Anyone put BajaRon Ultra Sway Bar on a 2024?

    Thanks everyone. I did finally get the bar centered and the arms are just inside the plastic on both sides and I don't think it'll cause any issues.

    Anyone put BajaRon Ultra Sway Bar on a 2024?

    Was finishing up the install of the Ultra Sway Bar on my 2024, and I don't see any way this is going to work without having cut the plastic fender liner behind the tires to create enough clearance. The swing arms hit the plastic when the bar is centered, and I can't see that's really ideal...

    Yeah I have removed the saved WiFi configuration multiple times, put my iPhone Hotspot in "Maximize Compatibility" mode which puts it in 2.4GHz mode. Only then does it show up on the Spyder. If I try to join the iPhone hotspot, I can see the icon show up on the phone showing a connection but it...

    Apple Car Play download initially failed! NOW Finally available....

    You guys were able to get on WiFi again after the ACP update? Mine won't connect to my home WiFi or my iPhone's personal hotspot anymore. I've tried multiple times, let it sit for an hour, no go. So I am still on 2.1.1 with apparently no way to ever upgrade/downgrade if I can't get on WiFi ever...

    Apple Car Play download initially failed! NOW Finally available....

    Well, mine won't connect to home WiFi now, or my iPhone hotspot. I can see a connection establishing on my iPhone but the Spyder fails to connect. I hope that the ACP update I got hasn't totally broken WiFi now.
