• 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.

    Audio: iPod Integration Cable Doesn't Work

    I've watched quite a few of your videos on YouTube. Good stuff. Thanks for the input here. Newer cable worked flawlessly on 250 mi ride yesterday. Full iPod functionality. I guess the previous owner had the old cable and new radio. He told me he never used it when I bought the trike from him.

    Windshield Arm Retainer

    On the end of the arm attached to the windshield that adjusts the windshield up/down there is apparently a retainer bolt kit. Has anyone here ever replaced one of these? I am missing the inside edge cap that holds the retailing bolt together. There is apparently one on each side and they...

    How many Owners buy the B.E.S.T. Spyder Extended Waurentee Insurance?

    Mine just saved me $900 in parts costs on a $1300 service and repair bill. New water pump and air suspension compressor and associated parts. The other $400 was mostly routine service, a brake and suspension adjustment, alignment check, and stuff like that; which is never covered by a...

    Audio: iPod Integration Cable Doesn't Work

    Yes, you did list both part #s, but as you explained it has been superceded. So it doesn't even show up in searches for available parts. The one that replaced it is now recommended for ALL Spyders 2014 and before (if I recall correctly).

    Just to answer for others who may be interested, I replaced the discontinued iPod Integration Cable with the current version (pre-2014). Works great. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B015EEXY4K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Audio: iPod Integration Cable Doesn't Work

    I replaced the 2011 and earlier one (7 pin to box to 30 pin iPod) NTouch with the OEM 7 pin to 30 pin (current) version. Apparently, the newer cable came out in mid-2012 and some 2012 RTs shipped with the old (and unreliable) one. The later production units shipped with the current version and...

    Audio: iPod Integration Cable Doesn't Work

    Hey! A week ahead of schedule, the iPod Integration Cable arrived in today's mail. I took it to the Spyder, plugged it in, and SHAZAM! the whole thing works exactly like it is supposed to. :ohyea: I even stood on the rear floorboards and bounced up and down a dozen times with it playing...

    Go long or short. It's the stuff that doesn't cover your hips when standing but extends below the waist that will be disappointing.

    Audio: iPod Integration Cable Doesn't Work

    Yes. I found the same. I ordered the iPod Integration Cable recommended by the mfg yesterday (same as the ones pictured above). I've got velcro and some extra small pouches. The device didn't dangle, because I have BRP Spyder luggage that a friend gave me when he sold his Spyder. But I did...

    I pod connector

    That's exactly what I suspected the problem was, because I have read almost everything related on these forums via multiple searches over the past 2 years. I think I probably will go with the bluetooth solution from Lamonster. It sounds like everyone is pretty happy with that, and I actually...

    Audio: iPod Integration Cable Doesn't Work

    Actually, gentlemen, your replies are very helpful. Thank you! I suspected that I had the wrong connection cable based on my research, but wasn't sure and I didn't want to start down the rabbit hole of buying $50-75 cables and trying them one after another without getting some feedback from...

    Audio: iPod Integration Cable Doesn't Work

    So I've got an NTouch iPod Integration Cable that came with my 2012 RTS A&C. It only says Aux and doesn't always connect and I only have volume control. EVERY TIME I hit a bump, it quits working. I was told this was the cable that came with my trike when it was bought new from dealership (1 prev...

    New spyder owner with questions

    I misread your reply regarding putting 3k on it. I read $3k. Sorry. I don't have a "demeanor" when I write, but I do have 2 non-fiction best-sellers under my belt. I clearly see at this point that you are angry/frustrated with yourself and deflecting that on others. Maybe a Spyder isn't the...

    New spyder owner with questions

    Actually, this was the main point of everything I've said: But I've gotten quite a few PMs and had a number of in person conversations where a new Spyder owner thanked me (even bought me an adult beverage once) for explaining to them that the Spyder has to be ridden like an ATV (4 wheeler) or...

    New spyder owner with questions

    Only to someone looking for an argument. I ride a 2012 RTSE5. Skid plate. And I'll be adding the handle bar riser and running boards soon. Those are the only functional mods to my trike. The riser is being added in part to make it easier for me to stay light on the controls. I'm tall. All...
