• 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 download initially failed! NOW Finally available....

    The fine print does say AA "coming soon" or something to that effect. It was never promised on Day 1 like ACP was though. Someday you may get AA but given how long ACP has taken I wouldn't hold my breath for it to come anytime soon.

    For those who bought after May 20th, their letter does state that offer is only good until ACP is released. So if those folks haven't used offer yet then they are likely not going to get it.

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

    Finally got it installed and my Cardo headset paired to bike. Not a great start, was playing music via Apple Music, asked Siri to Navigate to local pizza place, which it did. Then the sound quit, then was only coming out of headset speakers at really low volume. Switching audio outputs on the...

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

    Sent my monthly email/complaint into BRP about no ACP, got this back. If this is true, then this is not a licensing or cost issue at all but a technical issue with their head unit. Of course no ETA given on when they might actually get this figured out and working. Clearly not working on it all...

    Surprising Price Differences for Spyder oil changes in San Diego!

    If you're still under the BRP warranty, no concerns about running that weight vs what the OM calls for? You're braver than me as far as tempting the BRP warranty gods that's for sure. Looks like yours is a 2020 so maybe out of warranty so then it really doesn't matter too much.

    What are the differences between a 2023 vs a 2024 RT?

    That is what I've found as well. I think it's more likely that BRP's head unit vendor simply cannot provide sufficiently bug-free code to BRP. I don't think BRP actually created the head unit or writes the software for it, but I could be wrong. I know it "works" for the most part as I had it...

    What are the differences between a 2023 vs a 2024 RT?

    The 24s also do not have an external FM antenna anymore, so it looks a little cleaner. I have no use for FM so can't say if the reception is any worse on the 24s but would think it must be compromised a bit.

    Surprising Price Differences for Spyder oil changes in San Diego!

    Did you mean T6 5W-40? That's what I've always used and is the weight Can-Am calls for. I guess they do make a 15W-40 and you can run what you like :)

    Anyone else getting these Auto Auction Review Emails? Legit or SPAM?

    Anyone else getting emails from "Auto Auction Review", which appears to be aimed at dealers? Normally I would delete and/or unsubscribe, but today's SPAM indicates it's related to Can-Am. I presume it's legit, but I'm not going to sign up for anything. Just wondered if I'm the only one getting...

    How easy is it to replace Mode and Parking buttons? The print on 2019 RTL has gone!

    Did previous owner sweat acetone or something? :D

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

    As of today, BRP is still advertising the 2024 Spyder RT with Apple CarPlay. They obviously don't care about the fact that ACP isn't available and hasn't been since the bikes were released in February. What's even more ridiculous is if you click the "Learn More" link, it shows you the digital...

    I had ACP for a day or so when it was released in April. It worked fine. I don't believe there's any issue with the hardware supporting it. Besides they were already demoing this 9 months ago, if there were hardware issues it should have been apparent then.

    Apple Car Play Compensation

    Good to know. Not sure what I'm going to do with my ill-gotten gains yet but won't let it expire either :D

    Agreed. From what I read Apple does not charge a licensing few to implement ACP either.

    Apple Car Play Compensation

    Writing *apps* that work with CarPlay is one thing and would require Swift, access to APIs, etc. CarPlay itself is just a remote display protocol for the most part. They've demoed it working for what, 9 months now? I had it back in April during their very short release window before it got...

    Apple Car Play Compensation

    It came via e-mail. Asked about stuff like being able to track others in a group ride on the map, being able to plot your route in advance, etc. I said those are all well and good, but you can't even get ACP working. Let's not put the cart before the horse here. Concentrate on getting ACP out...

    Apple Car Play Compensation

    Just got a survey from BRP about features they could include on the bike/digital dash. In the comments I said I just want the ACP I paid for, the rest of these things are superfluous. Just give me what I already paid for and you can add other stuff later.

    Apple Car Play Compensation

    It was for me. 2.1.1 was the version that enabled ACP. Later that day when I checked for updates again, 2.1.0 was listed as an "update" but it did not call out ACP as a feature so I presume this is the same firmware as the bike shipped with. Fortunately I took pictures during this ordeal :)...

    Apple Car Play Compensation

    Weird. It would have had to connect to WiFi somehow even if the push was set to not require your interaction. Mine just said "Update Available" and listed 2.1.0 but I had the choice to install it or not at the time. Maybe later they made it mandatory and not skippable.

    Apple Car Play Compensation

    I was one of the few that actually got the ACP update in April. It worked fine for the limited time I had it. It CAN work. It's more than a mockup. When they pulled the update and rolled it back, I debated on whether I should do that or not. I figured that they must have pulled it for a reason...
