• 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.

    I don't think the pairing order matters to be honest, that was just the order I recollected doing it in :).

    The Chinese headsets I got are supposedly BT 5.2. My Cardos were 4.1 and didn't work well at all. This is what works for me for Apple CarPlay. Pair your headset to the Spyder Pair your phone to the Spyder if you want Connect your iPhone to the Spyder using the USB port. Once you get connected...

    Here's the headset I'm using, thanks to @johndeeredoo for trying it first :) https://gearelec.com/products/gearelec-gx12-motorcycle-intercom-1-10-riders-communicate-one-click-cetworking-dual-channel?srsltid=AfmBOor-eY2pTfT5oAIdlrwXFTFgaAHPoCU66GsI-qH-U5VqmFvKg9a3 You can find them on Amazon...

    Finally got to do a nice long ride with the Gearelec headsets. Paired them up with the wife's headset and we did a 2-hour ride to Athens, and then 2 hours back. The headsets worked flawlessly both ways, navigation instructions worked fine, and the music playback worked as well. Even using the...

    Definitely try unpairing your headset and your phone. I think that may cause a conflict when your phone is talking to the Spyder via CarPlay, and also trying to communicate directly to the headset via BT.

    Apple Car Play Compensation

    I scanned my Bill of Sale and included the BRP email and sent it to the parts/service guy as instructed. Of course, have heard nothing back yet after a week. I may go up in person Saturday and see what's going on.

    Is your Bose headset Bluetooth 5.1 or better? I had terrible luck with my Cardo that was a 4.x Bluetooth unit. Got a cheap Chinese headset that uses BT 5.2, and it works flawlessly.

    @racoon, mine doesn't seem to care when I plug my iPhone in to the USB, it's working well for me now every time. Here's what finally works for me: 1) A BT 5.2 headset 2) Pair the Spyder to the Headset 3) Headset is NOT paired to my phone I have phone paired to Spyder via BT, but once you get...

    Thanks! I'll look around again and see if I can find it, otherwise I'll ask Can-Am to resend it or better yet email me a copy.

    Apple Car Play Compensation

    Anyone still have their physical letter about this reimbursement program? I can't find mine for the life of me and the dealer says without they can't do anything. Not sure if there was a special code tied to the owner, I thought it just said you had to present bill of sale, which I did. I will...

    Amsoil 10w-40 metric oil - what do you think?

    They also say "Damage caused by the use of an oil not suitable for the engine may not be covered by the BRP Limited Warranty". All it takes is your dealer to be a wad and blame any problems on the use of anything other than what's recommended in the manual and deny warranty. I'm sticking with...

    Amsoil 10w-40 metric oil - what do you think?

    The MM act protects me from having to use Can-Am oil, or using Can-Am dealers for my oil changes. I don't think it gives me cart blanche to use an oil weight that is not called for in the owner's manual without potential repercussions. Sure, by the letter of the law they may have to prove that...

    Amsoil 10w-40 metric oil - what do you think?

    The manual calls for 5W-40, and 5W-40 only. If you use anything else, that potentially gives BRP a leg to stand on to deny warranty claims on the engine and transmission. That's what I'm scared of. I will only use 5W-40 with the correct specifications (not necessarily from BRP/Can-Am though)...

    Another Oil Thread (sorry!) - Has anyone tried using Mobil 1 10W40?

    I will use 5w-40 since that's what the manual calls for. Not going to give BRP any excuse on the warranty if I ran something other than what they require.

    So the Gearelec GX12 that @johndeeredoo found works perfectly for me too so far. I tested it off-bike first, was weird, I got no sound, no beeps, no nothing. Then I paired it to my phone to test it and it worked fine. After that it worked fine being paired only to the Spyder and I have...

    Thanks for your configuration. When I get it, I'll try pairing it up like you did. The reviews make it sound easy to pair a second headset up using the "mesh" mode. It was always so hit or miss with my Cardo and the intercom rarely worked anyway. And if it did, the music wouldn't normally come...

    Interesting. I still haven't replaced my Cardo Freecom 4+ that are BT 4.1. Was going to get one of their newer models with 5.x but like you we don't really use any of the advanced features on the Cardo. Maybe getting some cheapies is the way to go for us. We don't do group rides, don't need...

    Another Oil Thread (sorry!) - Has anyone tried using Mobil 1 10W40?

    While mine's under warranty, I'm not running anything but 5W-40 synthetic. Not giving Can-Am any rope to hang me with should I have an engine/transmission issue and them saying it's because I used the wrong weight oil.

    Another Oil Thread (sorry!) - Has anyone tried using Mobil 1 10W40?

    Same. And it's MUCH less expensive than the boutique motorcycle oil brands as well.

    I got a simple Bluetooth adapter that runs on USB power to "fake out" the Spyder into thinking I have my headset connected. It sees a BT microphone so it turns on ACP. Figured this might be handy for short trips where I don't want to fool with the headset, or if I'm riding solo and don't really...
