• 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.

    Is BRP GO useful?

    I use it for GPS with Cygic all the time and works good. It takes a little time to learn how to use it, but it's much cheaper than an XT and you get traffic and other options if you're in a service area.

    BUDS Alternative - asking for your help to get a new tool????

    To be legal yeah you have to purchase a license. There may be hacks but I would not trust anything like that. They may work but what else are these hacks doing to your computer. Besides the yearly cost is not very much if you plan to do your own maintenance.

    Can I play music from a usb drive on a 2021?

    ECM and 50.1 Dash Firmware Update - BRP Notification Info Needed?

    The starting issue is an ECM update which is a different update than your dash. The ECM update is listed as a mandatory update and the dealer should have done the update.

    Should call them and ask why they did not do the cluster update as it was mandatory too.

    Is there a tutorial or YouTube video on using BRP GO & Sygic?

    I have only seen videos on how to get the apps to work on the Spyder dash. Just spend some time playing with it. The big one that most people miss is if you push and hold the center joystick it return back to the app selection menu.
