• 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 & 2019 Spyders - Weak Signal and Speaker Crackling Noises

    I sent a detailed email to BRP Customer Care this afternoon which also includes the two videos I recorded of the audio system flaws in both my F3L and one of the RTL loaners I had use of. I asked engineering if there any electrical or mechanical build differences between the 2018 and 2019 model...

    Speakers crackling

    I REALLY hope that the amp replacement solves the crackling for you, but I'm not confident it is if what you're experiencing is similar to what I have been dealing with these past 18 months. With that said, I'd be extremely thrilled with being 100% wrong if the amp does in fact resolve the...

    Thanks again Dave. I responded to your other reply in the new thread I created. I'll link it here should anyone else in the future come across our discussion threads. I have responded with some new technical details that others may find of interest as well. I'll include our entire discussion in...

    2018 & 2019 Spyders - Weak Signal and Speaker Crackling Noises

    Dave, thank you for your very thoroughly helpful response. Regarding the audio clipping (nail tapping in F3L video): whether the EQ is set to neutral or the bass and treble are maxed (as was in the case of both video examples) and auto volume is set to "High", the bass point clipping occurred...

    Speakers crackling

    Thanks for the reply, Dave. I genuinely hope your colleagues might have a better idea as to the culprit for the ongoing audio system challenges. I have also suspected the lack of adequate shielding in the wiring harness is causing the interference whenever the steering is turned or engine fan...

    2018 & 2019 Spyders - Weak Signal and Speaker Crackling Noises

    Has anyone with the 2018 and newer model Spyders (RT's or F3's) who listens to their FM radio (I don't use BT music) experienced the following issues quoted below with their audio system. • VIDEO of 2018 F3L Radio Crackling & Audio Control Failure • VIDEO of 2018 RTL Radio Crackling My...

    Speakers crackling

    I'm quite suspicious that an amp replacement would resolve the crackling issue both Skups and I are experiencing. However, BRP engineering has been focusing on resolving this issue with software updates. 18 months in, no software update has resolved the crackling issue for my '18 F3L. The 2018...

    Speakers crackling

    Thanks for your reply! I genuinely hope replacement of the amp will resolve the issue for your F3 and look forward to what you share on that experience with me and us all. I've shared your reply to my dealer service technician. BRP engineering has told my dealer no other Spyder owner has...

    F3T - Speaker and sound improvement ?

    Have you found a solution to resolve the popping sound? I've been scouring the Spyderlovers forum seeking for help from others who are experiencing similar. My '18 F3L has been in the shop four times to try and resolve the issue since spring 2018 - video for reference. Latest software update...

    Speakers crackling

    By any chance was your issue resolved for both your Spyders? I have been dealing with this issue for over a year with my '18 F3L. Dealer service has been trying to figure out the culprit. However, I wonder if this is a manufacturing defect. I'm reaching out to others to see how they fixed the...

    Speakers crackling

    Has this been resolved? I've been dealing with this issue since the purchase of my F3L in April 2018. The latest software update was completed in July 2019, but there's been no change and my Spyder has been in four times trying to resolve it. Here's my video of the issue to see if what you...

    Weak Audio Output on 2018 Spyder's w/newly designed digital display models

    2018 Model Spyders w/Audio System Noise Trouble Curious how many others have noticed these issues and if you found a resolution to what's noted below. I'd like your help so I can forward this to BRP so that they can create a service bulletin to address this for all who are affected.

    Weak Audio Output on 2018 Spyder's w/newly designed digital display models

    I hope you get more answers than I've been able to in this year-long quest. We need as many people to report this issue to their dealers so BRP will hopefully address it. Unfortunately the latest software update failed to resolve the issue for me and for the 'brand new 18 RT Limited loaner I had...

    Weak Audio Output on 2018 Spyder's w/newly designed digital display models

    Now that winter hibernation has ended, I'd like to revive this discussion thread in hopes someone has found a solution to the issue quoted which appears to be occurring in all of the 2018 model Spyders. I've yet had a chance to check the 2019 models to see if BRP fixed it to chase that solution...

    Weak Audio Output on 2018 Spyder's w/newly designed digital display models

    Engine Fan Elicits Noise Through Audio While riding the loaner '18 RT Limited on errands in stop and go traffic yesterday, anytime the engine fan activated the same staticky noise would emanate through the audio system speakers similarly when the steering handlebar was turned hard over left or...

    Weak Audio Output on 2018 Spyder's w/newly designed digital display models

    My experience with the output is quite similar to yours through the Spyder's speakers. Sounds good while engine is off but barely audible at cruise above 40mph. The ambient setting is a hit or miss; sometimes it works and other times not at all. The second software update supposedly was to...

    Weak Audio Output on 2018 Spyder's w/newly designed digital display models

    NOT LED related Followed up with this tidbit to see if it in fact it was my upgraded LED lighting causing the static; it's not. I have on loan a brand new '18 RT Limited with a stock setup that's not using LED lighting and it makes the exact identical static noises through the audio system...

    Weak Audio Output on 2018 Spyder's w/newly designed digital display models

    Software Update Causes Static in Audio System After the latest software update was performed awhile ago, I've noticed in addition to the aforementioned issues that anytime the steering bar is turned left/right, static noise emanates from the speakers while in FM station is broadcasting. I...

    Engine noise at cold start-up in '18 F3 Limited Anniversary Edition

    Thanks for confirming. Dealer also fired up the new F3's and like mine, similar engine noise while cold which dissipates after it's warmed up a few minutes later. As long as the engine temp remains consistent and the motor doesn't seize up then I'll consider it good and hope the warranty won't...

    Weak Audio Output on 2018 Spyder's w/newly designed digital display models

    Comparison I did the comparison against a brand new identical models of the 2018 F3 Limited and a 2017 F3 Limited a couple months ago after my audio system was updated. Both 2018's were identical. However the 2017's volume output was significantly far less to produce the same level of output...
