• 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.

    2018 F3T USB Not Working

    Yes, if the phone locks out with a back screen with a small phone sketch in the upper left, you are in BRP Connect. You can then hit the back trigger on left bar, and the applicable apps should pop up. If not connected, and you pull the trigger, the bike tells you to connect the phone

    2018 F3T USB Not Working

    Since you tried an android (meaning both phone types) also, I would bet it is either the bike's USB not being connected/loose as you mention or the software. If your software is older than version 13.2, I would mention to dealer. They should try that first. I had same issue with version 10.X...

    2018 F3T USB Not Working

    Will state I do not have a solid idea up front, but a couple thoughts/questions. 1) You mention a few phones, were they all iPhones, or did you try an android? I ask because if it will not work with either phone type, that steers towards a cable/usb issue very quickly. It could easily be a...

    How to import routes / waypoints on a "BRP friendly" application

    As a note, if you decide to look at sygic and want to create your own routes, they have an online trip planner/maps. See https://maps.sygic.com/?utm_source=content-pages&utm_medium=cta&utm_campaign=homepage#/?map=13,27.8512,-82.7545 . It is fairly nice in that you can set waypoints etc, then...

    How to import routes / waypoints on a "BRP friendly" application

    Erik, There is a Windows program called ITN Converter. It is free, although they ask for contributions, and will translate GPX (or other files types) files into quite a few different file formats. I would give it a look. I use Sygic vice Genuis, so can't give specifics......but my process is...

    Trouble with Cardo Packtalk and BRP Connect

    FalconAF: I am surprised you have that much of a stability issue with 13.2 My Oct 2018 came with version 10.6, and did exactly as you said, unusable. After an update to 13.2, I was able to ride for hours with no issue. It might be worth trying a different USB cable. I routed a 5 foot one to...

    Trouble with Cardo Packtalk and BRP Connect

    FalconAF, What version og software are you running. If earlier than 13.2, BRPConnect is completely ubnstable. When I had mine updated to 13.2, it now seems stable, but FM over Bluetooth still does not work. I ubderstand 20.8 they fixed that, so need to get mine updated again. Did hear 20.8...

    Trouble with Cardo Packtalk and BRP Connect

    Just a thought, did you make sure the media volume on your phone is all the way turned up? It should not matter, but saw an earlier post on the board that it did for a navigation app. Also, you mention turning volume up and down on joiystick. Does that mean you hear music on speakers? If...

    Riding Apps

    As an alternate to Google Maps, I use https://tripplanner.honda.com/#/ (Honda Trip Planner). Google Maps used to be incredible for exporting to GPS, but they've done some things like limiting that functionality as well as number of waypoints etc. Honda Trip Planner is very easy to use, allows...

    Driver backrest brackets

    I put a Utopia on my BRP comfort RT Seat. Works very well, and easy install. No complaints, solid, and reasonably priced.

    Headlight casings...Switchable??

    A quick look comparing North America Chrome parts between 2015 and 2018 seems to indicate the parts are interchangeable (eg same part number). If the chrome is interchangeable, the black should be. But not cheap

    Handbrake - Re-visted

    Easy Rider, do you mean the spring below? If so, they NO LONGER use that spring....that may be why I do not believe mine is ridiculously hard. It is not as easy as some high end touring bikes ( BMW 1600 GTL etc), but I can pull mine comfortably. Very easy pull at the open position. If you go...

    Do we like modular helmets or not???

    On the glasses, it is typically easier to flip a modular chin bar up, put on glasses, then move bar down/up as needed. Makes putting glasses on similar to no hemet at all. On noise.....it REALLY depends on the helmet. Modulars will have more noise, but if you get a high end one it is not...

    TIME to give your BUTT a rest

    WTF a bad accident

    Wow, That does not even make sense. Opens your eyes when you see accidents out there. Saw a Goldwing Trike that had just been cut off/run over by an 18 wheeler. Only way I knew what it was was from one small piece of fiberglass. No matter how careful you ride, there is an idiot out there...

    Sygic Maps any good?

    Thanks, Did make sure it was on. Also played with just the app last night......sound from it is intermittent, works sometimes, sometimes not. Have some more playing to do, hopefully I can figure it out. I just upgraded from a Samsung Galaxy S8+ to an S10+, and the app has been acting up since...

    Sygic Maps any good?

    I recently got my BRP Connect upgraded to 13.2 (probably what pushed them to finally release 20.8......), and have Sygic running reliably. That said, I am not getting voice direction through helmet or speakers. It does mute the FM Radio (through speakers of course), but just dead air. Any...

    Handbrake - Re-visted

    I Just put an ISCI Handbrake on my 2018 Spyder RT, and just wanted to provide my thoughts of my purchase. To summarize though, I absolutely LOVE it, and feel much more comfortable with it......coming from a 2 wheel background of 40 years. I understand all the argument about "not needed, etc"...
