• 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.

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

    When I just did the update, it said the update was version 3.1.0, but also said that's what was installed? Anyway it went through the normal update procedure, taking 10-15 minutes I'd guess. Haven't taken it out since though. Notes say it adds support for rear-view camera among other things.

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

    All my problems went away when I got a headset that supported BT 5.2. My older BT 4.x headset was just a nightmare. ACP has been perfect for me ever since I got the new headset.

    What is the orange arrow above the gear indicator after 2024 instrument software upgrade?

    I don't think it was. I've had my Spyder RT since 2/2024 and never saw that upshift arrow until the latest firmware upgrade for the head unit. And I'm not in ECO mode either.

    Will a 2024 Sea to Sky let me navigate via my Samsung phone?

    What do you mean by crashing? I have taken many long rides with mine and have had no issues but curious what yours is doing.

    Will a 2024 Sea to Sky let me navigate via my Samsung phone?

    Pretty sure the hang tag on mine, which was one of the very first 2024s to be delivered, said something to the effect of "Android Auto is not yet available". To me, that sounds like they might be planning on it, otherwise why mention it at all? I scanned the tag and attached it in case they...

    Apple Car Play download initially failed! NOW Finally available....

    BT 5.2 has some significant improvements over 5.1 from what I read. Not saying 5.1 won't work just that 5.2 does have a few improvements over 5.1. I went from a Cardo BT 4.x headset that didn't work well at all, straight to these 5.2 headsets. Didn't make a stop at 5.1 to know if it would have...

    Apple Car Play download initially failed! NOW Finally available....

    Ever since I got the cheap Gearelec BT 5.2 headsets, my ACP has been completely flawless every single time. I have not had one issue with it once I upgraded my headset. I have no way to know for sure but it seems like the ACP really needs BT 5.2 or better to be reliable based on what I've...

    Siri Won't Respond on a 2024 F3 - any thoughts appreciated.

    When it can't find your iPhone, I wonder if it's the cable, or the bluetooth connection to your headset/microphone dropping out? Does the iPhone disappear from the Spyder's console, or just the ACP icon grey out? Would seem unlikely to be the cable with all of them you tried, unless the cable in...

    Siri Won't Respond on a 2024 F3 - any thoughts appreciated.

    See if the manufacturer has a page with the specs for your headset. It could be listed on the box or in your owner's manual too if you still have it.

    Siri Won't Respond on a 2024 F3 - any thoughts appreciated.

    Sounds similar to my experience with my Cardo Freecom 4+. Do you know what version of Bluetooth your headset has? If it's 4.x that may be the issue.

    Siri Won't Respond on a 2024 F3 - any thoughts appreciated.

    Another good thing to check. My original headsets (Freecom 4+) were only BT 4.x and they didn't work well at all with the Spyder. Replaced them with some cheap-o Gearelec headsets that use BT 5.2 and they work flawlessly.

    Siri Won't Respond on a 2024 F3 - any thoughts appreciated.

    If you just say "Hey Siri" with your phone laying on a table for instance, does it respond that way? If not then you may need to enable Siri per the instructions racoon posted.

    Siri Won't Respond on a 2024 F3 - any thoughts appreciated.

    Are you just saying "Hey Siri" or pressing the microphone button on the handlebar? Mine seems to work either way. Assuming the 2024 F3 has the same new digital dash as the 2024 RTs? That being said - when I had my older Cardo Freecom 4+ headsets, it would enable CarPlay but nothing really...

    RTL/F3L Heated seats - does the Spyder need to be running for seats to heat?

    My 2024 RTL came with the seat heaters hooked up backwards. Took me a bit to realize that when I had the driver's seat on, the passenger seat was heating up instead. It did this with nobody riding back there either. Not sure why they would go to the trouble and expense of adding a pressure...

    New 10.25 screen update on Oct 7, 2024 - What new features did it add?

    I wonder if the update sends a VIN or other bike ID back to BRP when it's downloaded/installed so they can track who is already updated? Back when the first release came out for about 1/2 day, I actually got it installed then. I got a call 2 days later from BRP asking how I liked the new...

    New 10.25 screen update on Oct 7, 2024 - What new features did it add?

    Weird, just got the e-mail this morning about an update available for the 10.25" screen as well. Went and checked for S&G's but there's no update available. The article linked in the email is dated September 2024.

    What, if any, differences or improvements are there on 2024 Spyders over earlier?

    Off of the top of my head... Bigger 10.5" Dash Screen Apple CarPlay (main reason that I bought a 2024) Handlebar buttons mostly redesigned, no dedicated "R" button, roll throttle backward to let it shift into reverse Roll throttle backward to confirm nanny screen. No external FM antenna Cruise...

    Anyone fitted an Apple Carplay dongle to make '24 ACP Wireless to iPhone?

    I tried my CarLinkIt and the Spyder does not recognize it. It always worked fine in my Jeep though that only had wired ACP.

    Maybe I've asked before, but do you know what BT version your Sena headset supports? My Cardo supported multiple BT connections too, but made no difference which one I paired the Spyder to, it was just unreliable and flaky no matter what. My Cardo Freecom 4+ headsets were only BT 4.x. This...
