• 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.

    If you get a chance, try using your phone's hotspot when you are in an area with few or no other WiFi networks within range and see if it works reliably for you. So far that seems to be a "fix" for me. Also, on the iPhone it only seems to work with the Hotspot feature if I turn on the 'Maximize...

    Yeah that'd be a great option. Both my cars allow me to update the head unit via USB, surprised this one doesn't do that. I will repeat this test in the future when I am at other locations with minimal SSIDs to see if the iPhone connection test is repeatable.

    So I just did this test. 1) Tried to connect to home SSID, Guest SSID, and iPhone SSID. Would not connect to any of them. Fat fingered the password on iPhone hotspot, and it told me the password was wrong on the bike, so it is talking a bit to the wireless networks. I then intentionally...

    I was wondering about that :) My SSID is near the bottom of the list too, figured maybe after first N entries it fails or something. The SSID on my iPhone hotspot starts with same letter so it is also near the bottom. I need to try a few more times with the bike away from a lot of SSIDs to see...

    How many WiFi networks show up on your selection screen? I'm in a residential hood but I see probably 2 dozen SSIDs on mine. That's why I wonder if it just can't handle that many networks in close proximity. I also have a mesh network, not sure if it's being confused by that. If it would ever...

    I am hoping against hope that as part of this long-overdue upgrade that it not only enables ACP but fixes the WiFi and BT issues as well. Mine won't connect to WiFi reliably at all and BT to my phone is very hit or miss. I can try dozens of times to connect to WiFi and it won't work. Doesn't...

    Saw this posted on the Apple support forums from May 4th. Of note is that there is no ETA given at all, not even "by the end of May". Sigh.

    This is my third Spyder RT so I am quite familiar with them and BRP. I have never had any major issues with my previous Spyders. All promised features worked as expected. Silly me for expecting the same on my 2024. I only bought the 2024 so I could use ACP as I have just moved to a new part of...

    Talking to the dealer or BRP is like talking to a brick wall, utterly pointless. At least here we can get little tidbits of information from each other from time to time.

    Yep, BRP is a chronological oddity. The ACP software is perpetually two weeks away from being released. I've been hearing this since early February 2024, it's always "coming in the next two weeks", which is obviously a load of horse pucky. They obviously have no idea when or if it'll ever be...

    I hear you. It will be a cold day south of here when I pay even more money for an aftermarket ACP system after I just spent $33,000+ on this bike. I bought a 2024 (and paid a premium for it) specifically for the inclusion of ACP. Otherwise I would have bought a leftover 2023 at serious savings...

    2024 RT Ltd display shuts off - back to dealer!

    So that means by Monday/Tuesday Can-Am will release ACP for the rest of us. Thanks Maplehawk! :D

    2024 RT Ltd display shuts off - back to dealer!

    I've toyed with this idea myself. But then I realize the day I did this and lost $7,500 trading in my Spyder, Can-Am would release a fully function ACP update the day after. I just know that's what would happen. Maybe if you take one for the team and trade yours in it will trigger the update of...

    2024 RT Ltd display shuts off - back to dealer!

    Have you tried a full reset of the head unit? Pretty sure I saw an option in there to reset everything and start over. My iPhone no longer pairs automatically with Bluetooth about 80% of the time. I have to unpair it on my iPhone, remove it on the Spyder, and re-pair every time I stop. Such a...

    Same, was at dealer on Saturday they had no clue that ACP wasn't even out yet.

    New Update to BRP GO! app - April 2024

    Wonder if that means ACP is closer to release on the 2024s :)

    The only mention of Android Auto that I've seen is some fine print on the hang tag saying "coming soon". I have not seen it demoed or mentioned anywhere else.

    2024 RT Ltd display shuts off - back to dealer!

    It starts the day you sign the papers. I am supposed to get an extra year too for pre-ordering, not sure if that got applied or not but I have screen shots showing that promotion and my pre-order paperwork.

    2024 RT Ltd display shuts off - back to dealer!

    Yep, just keep moving the goalposts every time a promised release date gets near. May 1st now, huh? Might as well just stop giving out dates at all since they are meaningless. I got a call from Can-Am last week asking me how I liked the CarPlay feature. I told her I'd be glad to give my opinion...

    Only the ones that got lucky and caught the update a week or two ago and did not roll it back as prompted. From what I read, Apple does not charge a licensing fee for CarPlay.
