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.

I was hoping it would work more like my car interactive entertainment system. The system uses Andriod Auto and those who have Apple, Carplay. This takes certain apps and allows you access to them through your interactive display. My KIA allows Google maps and WAZE to display maps on the interactive display. For music it has Pandora and google play. I guess we will have to wait and see.

Nothing. Whatever works for you.
I need a CB.....so I don't think that would work as good for me.

Accessories catalog hasn't been updated yet so right now there's no way to know if a CB can be installed in a 2018 RT or not.

CB on 2018 RT
From my experience with the BRP CB, I would NOT touch it with a 10 foot pole. Any future Spyder I might buy (be it RT or F3) will have the following set up in it. Since BT is now integrated into the radio, I am almost positive this will work (this is the configuration for my husbands Indian Roadmaster):
This solution is not cheap ... but the J&M units are high quality and husbands has worked without issue for nearly two years. Of course, one would have to come up with a mount for the CB, mount point for the BT interface, mount for the antenna, and a power source (don't recall if BRP provides any switched connectors for accessory use; Indian does).
So .... for anyone looking to ditch the BRP CB .. as above, I am almost positive this will work.
All the best ..... Ann
From my experience with the BRP CB, I would NOT touch it with a 10 foot pole. Any future Spyder I might buy (be it RT or F3) will have the following set up in it. Since BT is now integrated into the radio, I am almost positive this will work (this is the configuration for my husbands Indian Roadmaster):
- JMCB-2003 -- handle bar mounted CB
- JMDM-IPBT-JCB03 -- a Bluetooth interface module for the above CB (provides a wired connection, 6-pin plug; must be mounted water tight).
- Standard J&M headset with a lower cord that matches the JMDM interface plug.
- Now that the Spyder has BT integrated into it's audio system, I am guessing there is a "slot" for "headset" preprogrammed.
- So, we simply paired the CB as a headset (actually paired the JMDM module as a headset) and all the audio flows through a wired connection. The reason for doing this was the sound quality from even the best Bluetooth headsets leaves something to be desired and husband already has compromised hearing (so needs the best quality he can get ... wired provides that).
- The only "downside" is the loss of digital volume control to the headset; it is handled by the volume wheel on the top of the J&M CB and is easy to use.
