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.
Apple Car Play download initially failed! NOW Finally available....

Update was available this morning but kept receiving download failure error messages. Tried this afternoon however update is no longer available. Not sure what is going on. Tried on two different Spyders with the same results. Also received unable to reach update server error message.

Pretty easy for it to happen, a system admin probably set the wrong release date /time in SCCM or whatever software they are doing updates with for the update, someone caught it and pulled the update back to the previous version.
But after reading the next post this is starting to sound more like a borked update went through. Also a possibility of a server crash due to the server being overloaded. It's why I will stay with my base F3 and not upgrade.
You can be borked by cloud connectivity with having a direct wifi connection to your machine.
Look at what is happening now with garage door closers and chamberlain. I always joked with my wife when they came out with a garage door opener that you could control through an app on your phone (controlled through a central cloud server) that you would go out on the street one day and see everyones garage door opening and closing from a hacker having fun and just randomly open and closing doors repetitively. Well Chamberlain was letting people connect using unauthorized api's for smart home controls but now just realized how vulnerable they were to an attack by doing so. They have just recently cut off all access to all unauthorized api's and thus breaking a lot of peoples home automation systems leaving them screwed.
After over 20 years of doing IT I learned that if it really doesn't need to be connected to the internet it is just best to leave it off of it.

I tried the chat function on BRP website. I was informed that no release has been issued. But soon.
I called the service # and was informed no formal announcement has been made but it is available for some vin#
They had no answers for me about the Bluetooth issue was. A ticket was started for me.
I was asked for a vin#. When I turned my Spyder on to get the vin. My phone connected and everything worked including ACP.

I am not happy, and I did not even buy one of the Spyders with ACP.
I would be fuming angry if I had. :bowdown:

I think there were other features in the update besides ACP. The loud clunk that you get when first shifting into gear seemed a lot smoother to me but the radio seemed garbled. otherwise the apple maps worked fine. I rode mine into town for a haircut, car play worked going in but quit before I returned. Maybe tomorrow.
It's not unusual for software updates to be pulled when problems are found. My Hyundai navigation updates would often get pulled within a day and then have to wait a week for a new one to be released. Someone on Facebook also said they couldn't get the update either. It would be pretty difficult for CanAm to roll back the update on your bike once installed though without you seeing it happen as it's a relatively lengthy process.
I'll go out and try mine again, I haven't actually ridden with it on, just ran it long enough to see ACP come up on the display and move through a few screens.
