• 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.

    And as I previously posted, the information about BRP GO no longer being part of the Spyder systems is also on the BRP Web site. I HAVE spoken with BRP on this subject. Call BRP yourself and ask. BRP GO is gone (good riddance) from the Spyder line and replaced with Apple CarPlay. Replaced...

    Android Auto (wireless) for 2024 and up Spyders now available and working

    Thanks, think I understand better. The routes run in a new navigation app on the phone, not Google Maps. Makes sense. I need to give it a try. I will sign up for a trial account and play with it a bit.

    So once you create the route, does it send it to Google Maps on your phone? IE how do you use the route while on the bike? Sorry for so many questions but the web site really gives very little information on how it works or what it can do. Just selling subscriptions.

    No, drag n drop creates shaping point. Adding waypoints does not work either. First, you are limited to 10 including start and end points. next it creates a new route between each 2 points so it does not navigate through to the actual destination, just to the first waypoint then you have to...

    I am giving My Route Online a try but cannot figure out how to manipulate the route to use the roads I want. Does not seem to allow drag n drop or other editing of the route. I am trying to recreate a known route we recently used and see how it transfers to Google Maps in android.

    Create a route on google maps on the desktop. Once it has the route plotted, edit the roads used to your liking. Now send the route to your phone. The transferred route only brings the destinations across, not the route so your edits and the roads you selected are gone. Transferring to a...

    Thanks for trying and that is the way it SHOULD work. But it does not. Sending to my phone, it only gets the destinations, not the route edits. IE it replots the route without the edits going back to the fastest route to the destination. Just tried it again to be sure if some update had...

    Be advised that forum admins edited my original post and mucked up the links to the devices needed to purchase. Sending folks to all sorts of fubar ebay locations. I fixed them.

    Yes, any usb power source will work as long as its powered BEFORE the instrument cluster is booted up. IE if it powers up with the key, this solution will not connect as the the Binize box will not have time to boot up and respond to the cluster handshake when asked. It just does not boot up...

    For motorcycle use there are still a few areas where Garmin does things a phone cannot. One of which is ROUTES. Google maps, under both Apple and Android does NOT support routes. Only destinations for which it calculates routes on the fly. Google maps in the cloud and presented on a browser DOES...

    10 year parts law - will parts for the 1330 engine/trans still be available into 2036?

    You do not have to work by paint codes. It's easier but not the only way. GOOD body shops have optical paint scanners that can auto mix to match a color. That is how my Spyder ended up Harley Blue Burst to match my Wife's Street Glide.

    10 year parts law - will parts for the 1330 engine/trans still be available into 2036?

    You are right and its more of an industry norm not a law. For some specialty vehicles manufactures have even used it as a sales pitch or promise to new owners. When I bought my Ford GT in 2006, there was an express written promise from FMC to keep all parts available for ten yrs. I can tell...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Would rather not say just yet until the major bugs as squashed and its mostly working. But I will start a new thread when we get there.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    I finally have Android Auto displayed on my 24 F3S screen. Still some bugs in the dongle software but the developer has been very helpful. I think there might be a working solution for this coming.

    Anyone found a Wireless Car Play/Android Auto Adapter that works with 2024 and up Spyders?

    GOOD NEWS! I have a dongle that is showing promising signs. I have AA mostly working on my F3 and still working some bugs out with the developers. When its worked out and serviceable I will post the information but thought I would let folks know, it may not be the dead end we thought.

    Which should I choose, BEST or Revolos Extended Warranty?

    Not true. It's honored at ALL Can Am dealers, just the same as the factory warranty. In fact, it's administered and claims are paid the exact same way as your factory warranty. If the dealer does warranty work, he does BEST claims. Simple as that.
