• 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.

    Anyone with a 2024 or newer (large screen display) installed a Carpuride and Have sound?

    That's more of an Android issue than it is a CAN-AM issue. https://carpuride.com/blogs/news/can-i-use-android-auto-on-motorcycle

    Anyone with a 2024 or newer (large screen display) installed a Carpuride and Have sound?

    The Operators Guide for my 2024 Spyder RT does not have any reference to an audio input plug. I have copies of the Operators Guide for some older Spyders, and found references to an audio input jack in these: 2023 Spyder RT Operators Guide 2022 Spyder F3 Operators Guide 2016 Spyder RT Operators...

    Maggie Valley Spyder Adventures 2025 - Sep 30 thru Oct 3

    I'll be attending, along with a small group from Middle Tennessee. The numbers are a bit fluid at this point, but there will be 4 or 5 bikes, and 5 or 6 people. Our current plans are to leave the Cookeville, TN area on Monday, and ride the backroads over to Maggie Valley. We'll be returning on...

    Apple Carplay - the good, the bad, and the really ugly

    :::grumblegrumblegrumble::: So I spent the time from my last post, about an hour, in the garage with my Spyder. I did start the Spyder's engine and had it idling during all of the testing. I then powered on the headset and confirmed that it connected. I was testing four original Apple USB to...

    Apple Carplay - the good, the bad, and the really ugly

    I drove over to Wally World just after lunchtime, and picked up a Belkin USB-A to Lightning cable in order to prove that the Apple cable was not the problem. And earlier while checking the cables I had on hand, I found a total of four genuine Apple USB-A to Lightning cables. One with my Spyder...

    Apple Carplay - the good, the bad, and the really ugly

    Yeah, I am not convinced... Especially since Carplay wouldn't work when I first started the Spyder in Joneseboro, Arkansas to ride home. And didn't work for about 90 minutes as I traveled South to Memphis, and then turned East towards Nashville. But shortly after starting towards Nashville on...

    Has anyone ever opened a Paypal dispute?

    I've had good luck disputing issues directly with PayPal.

    Apple Carplay - the good, the bad, and the really ugly

    So I used the Contact Us form on my dealer's website to contact the Service department. I got a call from them today, and had a really interesting, but not completely rewarding conversation with them. We talked in detail about what was happening, and that I was concerned about there being a...

    Apple Carplay - the good, the bad, and the really ugly

    The forecast is for rain and thunderstorms here tomorrow (Tuesday), so I won't be able to try riding with bluetooth off on the phone until Wednesday.

    Apple Carplay - the good, the bad, and the really ugly

    Interesting thought about Bluetooth being off on the iPhone. But if you do that, then you can't make or receive phone calls using the headset. I don't think the gear has anything to do with, as I was riding along the freeway at 65 MPH when it suddenly connected. And then disconnected a couple...

    Apple Carplay - the good, the bad, and the really ugly

    Well, here's an update...such as it is. Someone at CAN-AM forwarded my complaint to the BRP Go team. The BRP Go team member was apologetic, and agreed that it could be a wiring problem on the Spyder, but that they weren't equipped to help with remotely diagnosing something like that. They also...

    Need some clarification on using Bluetooth Speakers & Headset for Phone Calls on my 2024+ RT

    I'm glad you got it to work.

    Any suggestions on a good riding camera - need one, after a road rage incident!

    The mount I use has "XIT" on the base, and has a lever you press down to create the suction, so it's not a "lick and stick" type mount. I'll make sure the mounting surface and suction cup are clean to avoid any excitement. :p

    Any suggestions on a good riding camera - need one, after a road rage incident!

    There are several suction cup mounts for GoPro cameras. I've tested mine mounted to the black cowl behind the windshield, although I haven't used it while riding yet. I've added the GoPro USB pass through door over the battery, so it can be plugged into a USB power source on your bike, so you...

    Have you experienced any Road rage incidents?

    I've had a couple of cars move into my lane without a lot of clearance, but no road rage incidents.

    Solved - Frunk switch not opening - will replacing the switch help?

    Is it possible that vibration during riding caused it to work loose?

    Need some clarification on using Bluetooth Speakers & Headset for Phone Calls on my 2024+ RT

    I have a 2024 Spyder RT Sea2Sky and use a SENA 3S Plus headset in my helmet. It has the ability to Bluetooth pair with three different devices: two cell phones and a GPS device. I went to the SENA website and found the User Guide for your 50R headset and it also supports being paired to two...

    Any Chicago area dealers who will mount car tire?

    I had a similar problem when I owned a Honda N600 sedan. The original tires were 145R10, and when I needed replacements the only tires in that size I could find were for a trailer, not a passenger vehicle. So I bought four tires and had them delivered to my home. I put the N600 up on jack...

    Apple Carplay - the good, the bad, and the really ugly

    So I did not receive an email response, or even a confirmation that they had received the email with the VIN number that they had said was necessary to proceed. So I called the 1-888-272-9222 phone number that was in the email for BRP Customer Service. The person I spoke too spent more time...

    Apple Carplay - the good, the bad, and the really ugly

    When I bought my Spyder RT about a year ago they still hadn't delivered a working version of Apple Carplay. So I bought a Garmin Zumo XT motorcycle GPS, and an Arkon mount for the handlebars. When Carplay was released I removed the Arkon mount and put the Garmin Zumo XT back in it's box. I've...
