2025 Spyder Sea 2 Sky - GPS Dedicated Power Plugin

[pvosbury49]

I am in the process of buying a new (leftover) 2025 Spyder Sea 2 Sky Can Am. I lead a lot of rides for my group so I need a versatile and reliable GPS, and I don't want it to be dependent on my phone. I plan on buying a Garmin Zumo XT3 and mounting it in the center of the handlebars using a Lamonster mount. I have had many Garmin GPS units in the past and I am very familiar with creating rides using Garmin Basecamp.

Can anyone tell me where the dedicated GPS power plugin is located on the 2025 model of the Spyder STS, and how difficult it is to gain access to it? I understand it has moved to different locations on different year models. Does anyone know if a video has been created showing what has to be removed to gain access to the plugin?

Thanks in advance for any insight that can be provided.

I just bought an XT3, you use Tracker app now for that. Don't know if Basecamp would work on that, or probably much better functionality by using the newer Tracker app

I grabbed an Acrobat PDF copy of the 2025 Spyder RT Operator's Guide from this site:

3-Wheel Vehicles | BRP GUIDES

www.operatorsguides.brp.com

On Page 34 it confirms that there is a USB port in the "glove box" in front of the handlebars, same as on my 2024 Spyder RT Sea2Sky.

I used a Garmin Zumo XT plugged into that port for power on my 2024 Spyder RT S2S before CAN-AM got the Apple CarPlay to work correctly.

Now that Apple CarPlay is working, that USB port is what I connect my iPhone too so that I have navigation on the Spyder's display.
