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.

Don't have any issues but am curious about what you are describing. What is a signal switch and what is a Spyder Codes app?

the Spyder App was created by a forum member it is called MySpyder Codes and is available for both iPhones and Androids.

If cruise control does not work it could have been something to do with brake system
foot touching brake pedal
Dirty and stuck bake pedal switch
Just something to check

Agree with brake pedal advice. :ani29: will go into limp mode if riding the brake for any distance. Crud on the switch--not letting it close completely--will make the computer think you are riding the brake, and will turn limp mode on. A simple check which may solve your issue. :welcome:

Here you go..!!
For apple...my spyder
For android...spyder codes
Apps are free and have a lot of information. Codes, discriptions, mileage tracking, spyders to the rescue members etc.
:agree: with brake switches, fluid level. Also a reset should clear the codes if not a major issue...:thumbup:

It is your turn signal switch that is pushed straight in along with the other two and it will show any error codes. I have an app Spyder codes, by Roger Wenzel, it is android. Very helpful.check it out.

The magical key walk is a waste of time and effort. It is just a myth. The key does have to be removed at all. Turn the ignition switch off for 30 seconds. If the fault is resettable with a power cycle and is no longer present after the ignition switch is turned back on. It will be cleared as active.

That's true. I have been at this one for over 2 years. :banghead::banghead::banghead:
There are lots of others too.

Key Walk?
I've wondered about that. There is no power in the key, no battery to change, so it cannot be a transmitter unless it is activated by a signal. I figure the key has an RFID coil in it that is activated by the 'radio' signal from the DESS through the antenna in the ignition. This would be a very short range, inches, so never could figure out the 30' walk or need to do it twice as the spare key was in the trunk. A lot of the DESS errors are probably caused by the antenna if the key is an RFID. Just my thoughts but could be completely wrong.
My Tri-Glide key FOB does transmit the security code from the FOB but it is only good for about 10 feet and that is stretching it.

Rome wasn't built in a day; it'll take some serious time. Just like with the cockroaches! :shocked:
Billy,
It appears that you've got at least one other convert!

You got it right. By my own testing I am being generous in saying that the maximum transponder is an inch.

I have also been telling people about the key walk myth. Seems some still believe 
However Billy, not all codes clear in 30 seconds. I do not know what the timer is but some codes will not clear in 30 seconds.
I purposely caused codes to test this (ran the spyder with the rear tire jacked up off the ground). It took more than 10 minutes to clear.
So there is some other timer used here. e.g. like the 20 minute whine you hear after shutting the Spyder off.
Also I know you responded to this before as this not being documented, but turning the key on and off 3 times does also clears the codes. I tested this as well. I first heard of this 3 time key thing from Ann Meyer and had to test it.

Your right, not all codes will clear in 30 seconds. If the particular fault code is going to clear with a power off/on cycle it will take about 20 seconds but 30 seconds to make sure. Some other codes will clear immediately after the problem is fixed or goes away. Some clear after a period of time waiting waiting to see if the problem has gone away. It depends on the type of fault. The point is you do not have to turn the ignition switch off at all for these faults. For a wheel speed mismatch error like you describe you did not have to turn the key off at all. Just take it for a ride around the block and would have clear on it's own.

Spy10, did you get a resolution for this?

Yes I know riding it would fix it.... Been there done that before.
I was trying to simulate how long it would take to clear on it's own as a test and after some time (like 10 minutes) they did clear.
