• 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.

    2018 F3-T shifting disaster

    It sounds to me like your left handle controls have gone bad. This is not uncommon for a 2018 F3 or RT. On my F3L it started to fail when it was a about a year old. BRP issued a TSB Warranty notice about this and had mine replaced free of charge. Sorry I cannot find the TSB number right now...

    Hard wiring a GPS

    I got that from the 2018 F3 service manual. Service manuals are available for sale and download from multiple vendors. If you are looking for the GPS power connector on your RT. I think it is on the right side instead of the left on a F3.

    Re: Not firing up the usual way

    Maybe signal interference. Do you have anything attached to your key. Another chipped key, lost key tracker device or anything else electronic. Install the bare key only and see if that makes a difference. Have you attached a phone holder with wireless charging. Disconnect it. Have you install...

    A Key Question?

    I have to disagree with you. The chip in the key does need power. The power comes from the DESS antenna wrapped around the ignition switch. When the ignition is turned on. The DESS antenna sends electromagnetic pulse. This energises the key chip. It then responds by transmitting a code. I agree...

    Fix Odometer issue - zero-ed with flat battery!

    Interesting point. In the description for the Megatech/Mechatronic Expert license. It says "Cleaning ECM, MPEM, CLUSTER "as new" (resetting the hours to zero and miles/kilometers)" . So can someone confirm that this license can set the mileage to any value or just reset to new (zero). As...

    Kickstart on older GS/ST? :)

    It is a GS or RS 2008 to 2012. 2013 and later RS model have different front wheels and fenders. Definitely not an ST.

    Battery access

    When you reinstall the front tub (basket). Don't install the plastic rivets. Not needed.

    Strange gas gauge problem.

    The cluster part number for your 2009 GS has been superseded with a new number. The new number replaces all clusters from 2008 to 2011 GS and RS models. So from that info I would assume they would all cross fit and work.

    Can anyone tell me what this cable goes to?

    If you are unsuccessful in finding a cable. One can be made. The 7 pin DIN connector will not be hard to find. I bought some years ago from Aliexpress. Apple cables are every where. Cut the USB end off. Solder to the DIN connector. Someone years ago posted the pinout. PS Thinking about it some...

    Is there an antenna cable for Spyderpops Top Case Extender?

    It's a very skinny coax cable. Used by a lot of modern vehicles. Looks odd if you have not seen it before. Check your ground strap for a good connection

    Error Code P1174 (updated, read incorrectly as 1176 initially)

    Looked in BUDS using a 2013 ST demo file. P01176 is not a valid code.

    Brake failure warning on 2021 RTL

    I repeat my request from before. Next time you get the brake failure warning. Do not turn off the ignition. Go into the menu and get the fault code. Post the code on this thread.

    Can I Import music from a USB Stick & control it?

    USB connection came in 2016 I believe. 2017 for sure. It could read a usb stick directly, but lost that ability in 2018. All models with a aux audio input can plug into a BT receiver. They are cheap and easy to get.

    Is it possible to display other ph apps on BRP Connect?

    Yes. If the app is not installed on your phone. The screen will not black out when plugged into the dash usb. That still leaves the problem of what to do with the phone. In the glove box. Can't see it or get to it quickly. Mount the phone where you can see it. Run cord from glove box. Glove box...

    Is it possible to display other ph apps on BRP Connect?

    You may be correct. The app may lock the screen. But plugging in the usb cable auto starts the Connect app. At least it does on my phone. That can be stopped with a data blocker adapter. It just easier to install a USB charge port in a convenient location with more power. I believe the usb cable...
