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

    Well yesterday my '24 RT had a senior moment, if you can call it that since it's so young. I unlocked my iPhone and plugged it in; turned on my headset; started my spyder; and was waiting for the screen to show connected to iPhone... Well, nothing; looked at my iPhone and it was not charging...

    Safety Message no longer forces delay after First Service - any opinions?

    Thank you for your post and what you found out about starting procedures. As for me, no updates or connections to BUDS, but on my '24 RT, I can turn the key to ON, twist the throttle, and press the start button, and it starts without any wait time before the screen turns on.

    Twiddling their thumbs and hoping the other team people do their job. I have done programming for years; did I have bugs, yes; did I fix them, yes; did it take me weeks for an update, hardly, maybe a day at the most. I agree, you don’t release software into production unless it has been...

    Well, this is very interesting to read, just more BS to me. I like it where it said the update "was available for a few dealerships to test its functionality", I would like to know what dealerships received the updates and how many spyder owners were in the test? So far, I have not read any...

    This is starting to get discouraging about how BRP is treating customers. I know I read in some threads that we should stop buying from BRP, well that all good and well, but what about the people that have already purchased a 2024 spyder like me? And what else would we purchase for a reverse...

    I checked the owners manual for how to set up the radio, and the manual did not show how to turn on or off the radio, or how to use it, (scan stations, change stations, preset stations or select preset stations.)

    I just wanted to let everyone know I tried this technique to turn on and off the radio, and it worked. It would have been nice if BRP could have told us this, how to turn on and off the radio. And as AMKRAT said, and I tested it out myself - the media applet still doesn't work. Great job AMKRAT...

    Does the Spyder have an intercom, & will GPS Option connect to my helmet?

    Hello hardlyable I am sorry to say that you're asking a lot of the Spyder. As for GPS, you need to read the thread about ACP. As for intercom, that will be your headset mfg. The Spyder will connect to your headset unit. Your iPhone will connect to you Spyder. With my 2024 Spyder (as of 5-8-24)...

    2024 RT Ltd display shuts off - back to dealer!

    I think BRP is running blind, don't you think they would have tested this idea out and sent instructions to the dealer on what process is necessary to replace a cluster? I guess not, just like shipping out Spyders and other BRP products with the 10.25" screen only not having a working cluster...

    Hello AMKRAT Thank you for the post. Well, all I can say is you're not alone. When I purchased my Spyder I was able to listen to music from my iPhone; now the music arrows show up but nothing else; pressing the buttons does not help; and even starting the music on my iPhone still doesn't...

    2024 RT Ltd display shuts off - back to dealer!

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I contacted my can am dealer and asked about ACP. And the service mgr. said he checked the BRP forum and it showed the update for ACP should be ready the last week of May. I just can not understand why it should take that long to fix the issue there...

    2024 RT Ltd display shuts off - back to dealer!

    Just checking, did you use a true Apple Lightning cable? I've tried other cables, and some show a connection to the "dock", and another one does not. I was thinking about resetting the dash, but was thinking, if I did, would it come out worse than what I have now?

    Thank you for your input I was thinking about that too, (resetting the head). Mine is not as bad as yours, but still thinking about it.

    All I want is the truth. And it would be nice if ACP worked too.

    2024 RT Ltd display shuts off - back to dealer!

    Thank you for the fast reply Maplehawk. As for the rattle, I had a loose bolt that held on a cover on the bottom of the Spyder. How many other loose or missing bolts are there that I did not see yet? You did say that your dealer was great to work with, and that shows it, a loaner Spyder. It's...

    2024 RT Ltd display shuts off - back to dealer!

    Hello Maplehawk I understand your grief, and I feel for you since I too am an owner of a 2024 RT. Here we pay 30K for a Spyder expecting BRP to do their part and sell us a complete working spyder, and what we get is a Spyder that is not completely functional, and not telling us, either through...

    Hello BlueSky Thank you for checking another dealer and letting us know that BRP is not keeping the dealers informed about the ACP issue. Thank you for the post about contacting BRP and letting us know what BRP said about still working on ACP. I am still not holding my breath.

    2024 RT Ltd display shuts off - back to dealer!

    Hello BlueSky Thank you for the post about your conversation with your local can am dealer. It shows that even now with all the time that has gone by since the 2024 came out for sale, the dealers still don’t know and can’t agree as to why the ACP does not work. The excuse of license issue has...

    Not shifting into reverse - any ideas?

    Here is my fix for my 2018 Spyder SE's failure to go into reverse. The reverse failure was intermittent, but it was getting worse. I was able to install a shim between the switch and the pin. Here is the fix. Just a note, the shim I used was only .021" thick, and .130" in diameter. It may not...
