• 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.

    Stuck on '24 RT-L 10.25" Navigation applet screen - anyone else had this happen?

    I have to admit that I haven't ridden my 2024 Spyder RT Sea2Sky as much as I'd like too, but once I got Apple Carplay to work it's been fine. The only caveat is that it does require a specific startup sequence. 1. turn the Spyder key to the On position, wait for the message, and roll the...

    I updated OTA software/firmware on my 2024 S2S - anyone else seen the back-up camera option?

    I would think that Can-Am is smart enough to know if worked with the 2024's, and would advertise it as compatible, since Cam-Am could then sell more of them. JM2C

    Spyder Apple Carplay won't work without a headset! Any luck in getting BRP to address this safety & inconvenient issue?

    I installed a SENA 3S Plus bluetooth headset in my HJC helmet. According to the SENA website, my headset provides 8 hours of talk time, and takes 3 hours to fully recharge. You didn't specify which Quin helmet you have but I found this information about their communication systems after a...

    Apple CarPlay update - what is the secret to getting it working properly??

    Interesting. Do you have part numbers for the camera and wiring? And do you have the installation instructions? OK, I found the installation instructions as: That's the text of the first link on this page when I searched for "backup camera"...

    Disability Plates - Texas only allows 1 plate per Operator! Is the Law the same in your State? What's Your Opinion?

    I just checked the Tennessee BMV site, and it says you can have multiple handicap license plates, but only the first one is free. You have to pay the normal fees for any additional plates. It does say you can also register for multiple placards/hang tags for use in vehicles that don't have...

    Does anyone know when/if BRP will or have started Canyon Production?

    I just used the Dealer Locator on the CAN-AM website, and checked three dealers in my state. The first dealer site had prices listed, but also said "arriving soon". The second dealer site had no prices with a "Reserve" button which opened a "contact me" kind of webform. The third dealer's...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    I did some research on matte finishes, and ended up with products from the Chemical Guys that are designed for them. Search for "matte" on their website: https://www.chemicalguys.com/

    Apple CarPlay update - what is the secret to getting it working properly??

    I also have a 2024 RT Sea2Sky and my Apple Carplay is working. In your Operators Guide check the bottom of page 50 it says: So yes, you need a Bluetooth headset paired to your Spyder in order for it to work, and an Apple iPhone plugged into the USB cable in the glove box in front of the...

    I updated OTA software/firmware on my 2024 S2S - anyone else seen the back-up camera option?

    The CAN-AM website shows this link to order the backup camera: https://can-am-shop.brp.com/on-road/us/en/219401199-camera-backup-kit-can-am.html If you use the "does it fit my vehicle" option it shows it does fit on the 2025 Spyder RT, but shows it does not fit on the 2024 Spyder RT.

    What CarPlay compatible app are you using to plan your routes?

    Since you have an iPhone, are you using iTunes for Windows with your iPhone? Hopefully yes, because it makes things a bit simpler. Use Google Maps on your computer to create a route. You can then save/export the route as a GPX file. You then use iTunes file sharing to import the GPX file, and...

    Installing Garmin Zumo R1 Radar - any suggestions on where to run the wire?

    I found the installation instructions on the Garmin website. One of the options is to mount it to the license plate bracket, but there's also a surface mount option. So maybe mount it to the rear of the top case? As for the hole for the wiring, visit your local hardware store and look for the...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Took my Celtic Spyder out for a spin. A little over 30 minutes at about 35 mph (~56 kph). Enough to get the engine up to temp and to smell some good and bad things (I was riding with my helmet visor partially open). I learned that someone ran over a skunk recently, so I got to smell that. And...

    Paint on exhaust coming off - anyone else? Any fixes?

    I'd think about stripping the old paint off, prepping the surface, and then repainting it with paint designed for high temperature situations. I quick search of my local hardware store's website found three different brands of paint designed for high temperature applications. One brand claims...
