• 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 Spyder RT Limited Genuis Map & Volume Problem

    You can control the volume level of the Genius Maps app by using the joystick just like setting the FM radio volume. However, you can only do this while receiving spoken turn by turn directions and while you are in the FM music screen. So, set yourself a destination and take off. As you approach...

    BRP Trailer hitch

    I made something similar, but obviously made it out of material that was a little too flexible. It had a tendency to get sucked up between the tire and the fender. Something more rigid might be the answer.

    BRP Trailer hitch

    These both look like great options. I will definitely pick one of them. It seems like we have at least one day of rain on most of our trips.

    Looking for BRP Connect expert

    I've had my share of challenges with BRP Connect and Genius Maps. My hunch is that BRP Connect and Genius Maps wants complete control over your phone. Nothing else can be running in the background. When you simply try to switch screens, your music player is still active and Genius Maps won't...

    BRP Trailer hitch

    Thanks. That's a good idea. My thought in removing the hitch was to hopefully do away with or at least reduce the amount of spray soaking my wife's back and hair when riding in the rain. It looks to me like the hitch and it's mud flap might be the culprits.

    BRP Trailer hitch

    BRP Trailer Hitch Thank you! I didn't realize that the axle shaft was hollow and that this "Jesus bolt" went through it. Seeing the head of a bolt on one end, and a nut w/cotter pin on the other had me thinking that I was looking at the axle shaft itself. I definitely didn't want to remove...

    BRP Trailer hitch

    I would like to be able to remove the factory hitch when I'm not planning on pulling the trailer for a while. I noticed that there are two bolts on each side of the hitch assembly, and if removed maybe the back half of the hitch would slide out. Has anyone tried this? The bolts (unfortunately)...

    2018 Helmet sound

    Sena SR10 I'm intrigued by your post. I've wanted to listen to the FM radio through the headsets ever since I bought my '18 RTL. I'm somewhat familiar with the SR10 and understand how you would connect a GPS (for example) to it and then through the bluetooth connection be able to hear voice...

    Genius Maps volume control

    For those of us frustrated by no (or low) volume on Genius Maps spoken directions, I finally learned how to control the volume. This probably applies to the other recognized BRP Connect apps as well. With some help from BRP Customer Support, I can now hear where the voice wants me to go. There...

    BRP Connect and Genius Maps

    Genius Map Issues Stephanie, Thanks for your response. It is refreshing to know that someone from the mothership is actually reading these posts and offering assistance. We have such little help out here in the field. Our dealers generally don't have the knowledge or experience with the new...

    BRP Connect and Genius Maps

    BRP Care I hear you! I have corresponded with them several times, and it always comes down to "see your dealer". I talked to my service manager about this the other day, and he said " You know more about this than we do. We just haven't had time to familiarize ourselves with this new...

    BRP Connect and Genius Maps

    Sena headset and phone Thank you for that last tip. I didn't know that. I'll unpair my phone from the Sena today and see if there is an improvement.

    2018 Spyder RT Limited Genuis Map & Volume Problem

    Genius Maps Exactly what mine does! I'll have to try the music screen to see what it does. Makes sense in a weird sort of way. If you would rather have the music screen showing, yet have a destination set, it will remind you verbally when and where to turn.

    Intercom for 2016 Spyder RTS

    2018 RT Ltd CB Hey Dave, I like your suggestions on equiping the Spyder with a CB. My local Flying J has a Uniden portable CB for $49.95. I know that a lot changed with the 2018's. Will your Sena SR10/CB setup work on the 2018's, or is there another avenue that I should take? After riding...

    BRP Connect and Genius Maps

    Is there anyone out there who has had some success with Genius Maps? I can get the map to display just fine, and destinations show me the turns and everything needed to get to where I'm going. The problem I'm having is that I can not hear the voice guidance. As I approach a turn the radio...

    Bugs in the Radiators

    Does anyone have a good system for cleaning the bugs out of the radiators who made it past the screens? Not much room behind to blast them back out to the front, and I don't see how to remove the front screens to get at the front side of the radiators with a brush and/or vacuum.

    Intercom for 2016 Spyder RTS

    Intercom You will need to purchase and install the CB module as well as the entertainment harness. That will give you the 7 pin connectors you need for the headsets. It will be over a grand to do. You might want to consider a pair of bluetooth headsets instead.

    BRP connect issue

    2nd Phone I tried this too with an older LG phone that was not active. The Android operating system on it is version 4.2 and the BRP Connect instructions state that the OS must be at least 6. something. I'm assuming that is why my phone won't work. I also ran into another issue that gripes me...

    New App on BRP Connect

    New apps for BRP Connect I downloaded and installed both of these apps, but BRP Connect doesn't recognize them. Is there a trick to getting BRP Connect to include them? They both look useful.
