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.

If you have a Battery Tender Jr pigtail installed you can get attachments for it and one is a cig power adapter.
Or there is this https://www.slingmods.com/can-am-spyder-rt-cell-phone-gps-docking-station-dual-usb-charge-ports
Plus the vendors on the forum have some good ideas to check out.

I just got a carry over 2017 and it's 12v is right where it was on my 2014.
I wasn't crazy about the "newfangled" display, most of mine is already to small to be useful.
I'm guessing it won't be too hard to get an outlet into your top case. Probably sweeter than BRP would do.

How about usb power?
I was able to get an usb power cord for my Sirius for rear trunk. Don’t know if that would help in your situation or not?

The Sirius antenna has to be out with nothing blocking it. Putting it near the radio antenna works but not because its next to the other antenna. If you have a metal rack that would be the best place for it.

I put an 8 inch xm antenna just outside back trunk . I put it behind the rubber flat part near the backrest I just pulled the rubber back and pushed the end in, I drilled a small hole on the INSIDE just big enough to fit the plug end in. I slid a metal L bracket between the rubber and the plastic and it fits tight and the antenna sits on the L BRACKET. or you can use two way tape. also an 8 foot cable might be better cause 8 inch limits where you can place the radio.

I put everything in the glove box with velcro antenna mounts on the lid the radio to the sidewall ran a single 12v outlet under the left door and a double 12v adapter to the single radio works fine and camera works fine too

They are two different antennas. One sticks up and receives radio signals, the other is normally mounted to the metal top of a car which helps it receive satellite signals. So mounting it to a flat metal object like a trunk rack is best. I used to have the antenna mounted to a small flat metal bracket on the handlebars, but then I put it on the flat trunk rack and it greatly improved the signal.
