• 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.

    Conflicting pairing instructions for Android Phones - is there a specific sequence that works? Or just don't??

    There's no reason to pair your Android phone to your Spyder, since the Spyder won't communicate with an Android phone. Just pair your Cardo to the phone. Oops. I forgot about the new BRP GO!/BRP Connect process for Androids. Ignore my comment.

    2021 Spyder RT - has anyone ever used the EvolutionR arm rests? Is there an install video?

    I found a video on Amazon showing how to install armrests on a Spyder RT. Not sure if the actual armrests are the same as what you have, but it does show how to take things apart. https://www.amazon.com/live/video/03ccd52f8f2342a19df13f3d6dd3be7a

    Anyone know of an item that will allow Can Am Go navigation to broadcast instructions over the speakers?

    Page 55 of the 2026 CAN-AM Spyder F3 Series Operators Guide has what I think you're looking for. You can download an Acrobat PDF copy here, after selecting your year and then selecting model: https://www.operatorsguides.brp.com/P/5 The Preferences settings at the bottom of Page 55 include...

    What kind of navigation do you use on your Canyon, especially when you are out of cell phone service.

    I've been using the Google Maps application on my Macintosh computer. You can give it a start and end point, and even waypoints on the route. You can then drag-and-drop the route it creates to use the roads you prefer. And then you can send the route to your phone. And when I plug my phone...

    I only understand what the manual says and since my professional background is computer software and not electrical engineering, I have no idea how to answer your question. I did tell you what I had plugged into the device: an iPhone SE 2nd Gen. https://support.apple.com/en-us/111882 The only...

    Klein Tools ET 920 meter results for a 2024 Spyder RT Sea2Sky and iPhone SE 2nd Gen connected to the USB port in the glove box. iPhone was connected to the meter using the same Belkin braided cable that I've been using for CarPlay on mySpyder. The time in the lower left of the ET 920's screen...

    Can a Spyder replace a motorcycle?

    Depends. Are you wanting to make an Apple pie, or will Banana pudding suffice? 😁

    Google thinks the USB 2.0 standard has not changed. I did find one reference to a change to an embedded USB 2.0 (eUSB2V2) dated 09/27/2024 that is described as: So the data transfer rate was increased, but not the power...

    How I Spent My Summer Vacation

    If you post the dates and locations you might find some local riders that would like to meet up to ride some of the route with you.

    I've quoted two of your posts because it occurred to me that they contradict each other. You say you configured your phone to stop charging at 80%, something that Google confirmed is an option, but of which I wasn't aware. And after your ride the phone was at exactly 80%. So the USB port...

    I added a docking station to my 2024 Spyder RT S2S from Spyder Extras. It is wired into the accessory power port on the right front side of the Spyder. It worked well for use with a Garmin Zumo XT GPS before CAN-AM got Apple CarPlay working. Now I ride with a QuadLock mount and QuadLock iPhone...

    It's a USB 2.0 port, which by definition is 5V and 500mA.

    The Ski-Doo GPS module does not use your cell phone to track the other riders in your group. https://ski-doo-shop.brp.com/us/en/ski-doo-gps-module-with-group-ride-860202990.html On that BRP page it says: I also found this: Notice the "Create & Join" part? You have to invite someone to...

    Google says the Garmin Zumo 665 was released in January 2010, so I'm not too surprised that Garmin is no longer providing updates. The way to get it working again is to sell it on eBay and use the money to help pay for the newest Garmin motorcycle GPS, the Garmin XT3.

    A quick check with Google says that the BRP GO! app allows you to invite other people to a ride you plan, which might require they are also on CAN-AMs using BRP-GO/BRP Connect.

    Interesting, as it does say that fits a very long list of Canyon, F3, and RT models starting in 2024. But I haven't been able to find any information about how to use it on CAN-AM 3-wheelers. There is a CAN-AM site that talks about using it in the Off Road Vehicles (ORV)...

    There was a previous discussion about the BRP plug-in GPS module, but the information on the BRP site was pretty specific that it was for SkiDoo models, not CAN-AM 3-wheelers. All of the BRP/CAN-AM information I've found about the GPS capabilities of CAN-AM 3-wheelers are either Apple Carplay...
