• 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.

    Apple Car Play Compensation

    Im curious about the Media app firmware patch that you got. Is this something that I could just ride in to my dealer and ask to have done, or is this something that the dealership would have to request to BRP for a specific download? I have an appointment next Wednesday for my initial 3,000 mile...

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

    I have a "work around" that I hope will get me by until the ACP software gets fixed. I went to Walmart and bought a Dual dash mount 7" touchscreen Apple CarPlay and Android wireless monitor. I know it is not waterproof like the Carpuride, but it was available locally, and so far, it works...

    Interesting responses from BRP. Something else I just found to be interesting. The latest Can-Am Ski-Doo's (snow mobiles) also have the 10.25" screen. All features look the same except it has (or soon will have) built-in navigation. No need to plug in your iPhone, although according to their...

    Non-painted gloss black parts - any tricks or finishes to stop them scratching easily

    I know exactly what you mean about the scratching on those black glossy pieces. Just wiping the dust off was enough to show scratches. I found a product that seems to help. It is meant I'm sure to restore the black appearance to black bumper and side trims on cars and trucks. It is called GX-3...

    BRP needs to develop and publish a detailed owner's manual on how to use everything related to the 10.25 screen. The current owners manual only points out what is there, not how to use anything. They need to take a look at Harley Davidson's Infotainment users manual. My TriGlide was loaded with...

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

    I've figured out how to turn the radio on and off. Long press the Ride Settings button (the bottom button on the Media Controls Switch on the left handlebar). The radio should stop, and the power button will reappear in the upper right corner of the screen. To resume the radio, either press...

    The Spyder Touch screen only works with "touch screen" gloves and when stopped. When moving you have to use the handlebar controls.

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

    Our issues are very similar. Maybe its because both of our 24's are Petrol Blue. My wi-fi problems are just like what everyone else is reporting here. Once in a great while it connects quickly, but most of the time it can take six or seven tries to connect. I often just give up and try again...

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

    I've been following this thread since the beginning. I too have a 2024 RT-L that I pre-ordered last fall largely due to the promises of the 10.25" screen. This is my third RT, and I was tired of the small screen and having to drill down any number of times to get to the item I wanted. ACP was...

    FM radio reception F3L and RT 2018 models.

    My 2018 RT-L had poor reception too. I started looking for a replacement antenna that might improve the signal, but all I could find were "shorties" that actually reduced the range. I had a factory stock Harley Davidson FM antenna from one of my previous Harleys and found that it had the same...

    What does the cotter pin on the rear axle do?

    My trailer hitch was installed by the dealer before I took delivery of a new 2018 RT-L. I removed it for the first time the other day getting the Spyder ready for a rear tire swap. Much to my surprise not only was there no cotter pin, but the axle nut and washer were missing! After 8,000...

    Another new BRP Connect App

    EatSleepRIDE Motorcycles app has shown up on my BRP Connect app. When I try to download it I get a "Cannot Connect to App Store" message so I can't yet comment on just what it does. It appears to be another navigation app, so I'm not too anxious to install it (even if I can). Anyone out there...

    Freedom trailer color match

    The black wheels need some flash. Too bad they are 4 bolt lugs, and not 3 like the RT. I would like to see if the chrome Spyder wheels would fit. Wrap My Spyder has a wrap template for the Spyder wheel but not for the Freedom trailer unfortunately. Planning on Albuquerque and the balloon fest...

    2018/19 New fangled dash instructions

    Thanks for the info. I got my 2018 manual out and went pretty much page by page comparing it to the 2019 manual. Right off, the new manual has eliminated all mention of the SM6 model. I haven't asked my dealer if the SM6 is no longer made, but I'd guess not. No mention of the supposedly...

    Freedom trailer color match

    Thanks for the pics. The trailer looks great! I can see me doing the same thing. By the way, my wife and I spent some time on our RTL(with trailer or course) in your great state this past summer. Roswell (I'm now a believer), Taos (the Enchanted Circle ride was exceptional with the Viet Nam...

    It was meant for RidinOn3. I'd like to see what his trailer looks like.

    Freedom trailer color match

    I may pull a panel and go to the auto parts store to check out their spray can colors. I think you are right about a close match. The trailer is far enough back from the bike that no one would ever notice the difference.

    Freedom trailer color match

    I want to add some color to my black Freedom trailer that will match the champaign color of my '18 RTL. The Can-am accessory catalog has some nice stripe kits, but not in champaign (or whatever the official color name is). Ive had a nice email exchange with Pete at Wrap My Spyder, and I think...
