• 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.

    Why do I now have a BRP Connect icon on my Apple HomePlay screen?

    I now have a BRP Connect icon on my Apple CarPlay home screen. It doesn’t appear to do anything, but I am curious as to why it is there. I haven’t tried to delete it yet (don’t know if I even can) though I guess it doesn’t hurt anything being there. The 3.1.0 update seems to be working fine...

    Stuck on '24 RT-L 10.25" Navigation applet screen - anyone else had this happen?

    Finishing up a ride yesterday and low on fuel I thought I'd switch from the navigation screen (showing Google Maps) to the Gauges screen to see how many miles to empty it displayed. Nav screen wouldn't budge. No matter how many times I pressed the applet switcher button it wouldn't move. Once I...

    Installing Rear view/backup camera - what wire & where to trigger it?

    Since the new for 2025 rear view camera that will be on the Sea to Sky RT (and Canyon I'm told) will not be available for retrofit to the 2024 RT, I am considering installing my own. I'm not too crazy about disassembling the back half of the Spyder just to access the reverse light wire needed to...

    Another new BRP Connect App

    EatSleepRIDE Motorcycles app has shown up on my BRP Connect app. When I try to download it I get a "Cannot Connect to App Store" message so I can't yet comment on just what it does. It appears to be another navigation app, so I'm not too anxious to install it (even if I can). Anyone out there...

    Freedom trailer color match

    I want to add some color to my black Freedom trailer that will match the champaign color of my '18 RTL. The Can-am accessory catalog has some nice stripe kits, but not in champaign (or whatever the official color name is). Ive had a nice email exchange with Pete at Wrap My Spyder, and I think...

    Accessories Bracket

    On one of the Spyder accessories sellers web sites I saw an accessories bracket that spans the two bolts on the top of the RT dash. I'm trying to figure out a way to mount an action camera, and this looks like a good option. I'll be darned though, if I can now find that site. Can anyone point...

    New BRP Connect App

    I just discovered a new app that is compatible with BRP Connect. It is called Sygic and is another navigation app. It looked promising as an alternative to Genius Maps, so I downloaded the app and maps, secretly hoping that this one would be free. It wasn't until I did all of that did I...

    Temperature sensitive SE6

    Just returned from a great ride through New Mexico. Woke up on Thursday morning in Chama with temperature of 40 degrees. Transmission would not shift into reverse, neutral or downshift at all. It did upshift just fine however. Thankfully I was parked on a level parking lot at the motel and I...

    BRP Trailer hitch

    I would like to be able to remove the factory hitch when I'm not planning on pulling the trailer for a while. I noticed that there are two bolts on each side of the hitch assembly, and if removed maybe the back half of the hitch would slide out. Has anyone tried this? The bolts (unfortunately)...

    Genius Maps volume control

    For those of us frustrated by no (or low) volume on Genius Maps spoken directions, I finally learned how to control the volume. This probably applies to the other recognized BRP Connect apps as well. With some help from BRP Customer Support, I can now hear where the voice wants me to go. There...

    BRP Connect and Genius Maps

    Is there anyone out there who has had some success with Genius Maps? I can get the map to display just fine, and destinations show me the turns and everything needed to get to where I'm going. The problem I'm having is that I can not hear the voice guidance. As I approach a turn the radio...

    Bugs in the Radiators

    Does anyone have a good system for cleaning the bugs out of the radiators who made it past the screens? Not much room behind to blast them back out to the front, and I don't see how to remove the front screens to get at the front side of the radiators with a brush and/or vacuum.

    2018 RT Owners Manual lacking detail

    I'm a little frustrated with the lack of detail found in the 2018 RT owners manual regarding the audio and BRP Connect functions. It tells you a little bit about what is there, but not much about what to do when you get there. For example, it does mention radio presets, but gives no guidance on...
