• 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.

    My Cardo has 2 BT channels as well, one for phone and one for GPS. I've tried putting phone on Ch 1, and Spyder on Ch 2, and then reversed that to see if it made any difference. It did not for me. Doesn't work worth a hoot no matter which order I pair them up. I am tempted to get the latest...

    So I just checked and my Cardo Freecom+ is also only Bluetooth 4.1. Where did you find that ACP doesn't like 4.1? I hate this Cardo Freecom headset with a passion so if I knew updating it to a headset with BT 5.x would make ACP work better I'd do it. I've about thrown it on the ground and driven...

    I think you're thinking of Wireless CarPlay. That is how it works when using a wireless ACP connection. Wired ACP uses the USB interface only and does not use BT or WiFi at all. The Spyder uses BT to connect to your headset to provide the microphone functionality but that is independent of the...

    This is why Can-Am needs to issue some actual documentation on their implementation of ACP and best practices for pairing the name brand headsets anyway. My Cardo has multiple channels too. I've tried Phone on #1, Spyder on #2, and vice-versa. I've tried not pairing my phone to the Cardo at all...

    Did you get any text messages while using it? That's one thing that completely blows up ACP on mine. And forget answering a phone call, that will brick it as well. Only fix at that point is to unplug phone and plug it back in and *maybe* it'll start working again.

    Went for ride yesterday. Could not get audio to work at all, but at least I had CarPlay for navigation. Stopped at a gas station about 45 minutes into ride. After that, audio worked in headset at least. On way back, received a text message and completely ignored it for fear it'd make things...

    Have you tried disconnecting battery and letting it sit for a bit then reconnecting? Give the head unit a good reboot that way?

    I have yet to try my spare Wireless Carplay adapter, which would let me keep my phone in my pocket to see if it works on the Spyder. It worked fine on my Jeep, it just emulates a wired connection as far as your vehicle is concerned. The CarLinkIt IV is supposed to be able to translate Android...

    Agreed. ACP "works" in that it shows up on the display and audio occasionally works. But it's a buggy mess at this point. Hopefully we'll get another release in six months that actually makes it usable. :rolleyes:

    I think maybe you're just experiencing the randomness of the Spyder and ACP. All my tests were done without the engine running and it was actually working fine last night in the garage that way. :) Maybe we all need to sacrifice a chicken or something on the hood of the Spyder to finally get...

    Don't feel bad. I swear the behavior on mine changes from day to day even though I haven't changed anything. Last night it seemed to be working pretty well but I supsect the next time I ride it nothing will work right again...

    It's the ride settings button. Toggle it until the screen with a headphone icon shows up. There you can switch between the headset and the bike's speakers.

    I wiped everything AGAIN and paired the Cardo to my Phone on BT #1, and to the Spyder on BT #2. Then paired phone to Spyder. At least on that one test, I can now switch the audio output from Carplay between the Spyder speakers and the BT headset by using the on-screen menu on the Spyder. Hey...

    I reset my unit and started over. This time I paired the Spyder to Bluetooth Channel 1 on my Cardo, and my iPhone to Channel 2 thinking maybe that would improve things. It did not. CarPlay is happy and starts up. Now all I get is sound through the headset, could not figure a way to get sound...

    Got out for a ride, initially everything was good. Music was playing, map was showing. Stopped for lunch. While waiting to get going again, got a phone call while I was seated in parking lot. Hit the Answer button, no audio anywhere. Not through Spyder speakers, not through headset. Took off...

    Hopefully this is just a configuration issue. If they missed something so obvious after nearly six months of delays I'm not going to be terribly happy.

    I think that's normal. Same thing happens in my car with CarPlay.

    I would try the full reset option. I am going to do that as well since I had the previous ACP release and who knows what detritus that left behind. I want to start with a clean slate, including wiping my headset's bluetooth connections as well and start from scratch.

    I had to ride down the road to where there's very few WiFi signals. Then it will connect to my phone's hotspot at least to d/l the update. I haven't tested WiFi yet after the update but it rarely will connect to my home WiFi, even with great signal strength. I've tried probably 100 times, with...

    Better grab it while it's there. Who knows how long it'll last this time :)
