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....

From what people are describing it is sounding like there is a conflict between carplay software and the spyders firmware that is used for connectivity and not a license issue.
I can see why they yanked it if that is what is going on. But that should of showed up in testing before it was released.
Well I have another saying besides my one about if it doesn't need to be connected to the internet don't hook it up. That would be don't ever get the first version of anything.
Before I start on the real point here, you'll probably notice a few posts in this thread have been removed, and in doing so it's been noted by the Mod Team that at least one of the members pushing this particular legal action wheel-barrow DOESN'T EVEN OWN A SPYDER yet...
On to the real point - I'm not the only one who's said this, and I know there's quite a few of the longer-term members who can attest to it actually happening, but I have said it before, even in this very thread, so for those who don't yet realise EXACTLY HOW MUCH DAMAGE they might be doing to their chances AND to the chances of everyone else here or elsewhere with a 2024 that has bits that don't quite work as they should,
ANY talk of Class Actions on this Forum IS NOT HELPING!!
In fact, going by previous experiences outlined here in years past about other things like this, those posts like the one above might well be doing a WHOLE LOT of damage to your chances of getting this resolved quickly, AND harming the chances of anyone else getting it resolved quickly too - so NO MORE!! Not here anyway!! :lecturef_smilie:
If you want to screw the pooch on this subject, go elsewhere to do it! If you're smart, go to your NTSB or Better Business Bureau; send an email; or maybe even write your curses on a note and burn the note while you prance around the fire chanting if you think that'll do you any more good, that's entirely up to you - but slightly paraphrasing the earlier words of the owner & founder of this site,
No More bleating or threatening anyone with legal action on this subject on this Forum! :banghead:
However, as always (well, at least for now!
) you can continue to talk about ACP & its shortcomings &/or lack of delivery all you like, just not threatening lawsuits or legal action; and in fact, any polite discussion that abides by all the Forum Rules, including those regarding by-passing the swearing filters, remains acceptable. :thumbup:

I have a 2020 RTL. Was Planning on upgrading to a 24. Glad I haven't, and will not do so with out "Android Auto" installed. BY THE FACTORY. None of this give me your money, I might fix it later. Indian, and H.D. have no software issues with getting phones hooked up! Local Indian dealer also owns "Trike Shop". Several Indian, Gold Wing trikes ready to go. My 20 RT is my third Can Am. A 14, 16, and 20. BRP, you listening? :lecturef_smilie: Tom :spyder:
The only mention of Android Auto that I've seen is some fine print on the hang tag saying "coming soon". I have not seen it demoed or mentioned anywhere else.

Good advice and a good decision.
I was in a dispute with a business a number of years ago, and in the heat of the moment I said maybe I'll just sue you!
The person I was talking with immediately terminated the conversation, and told me any further communication about any topic would need to go through his/their lawyers. And then he hung up on me.
If you are thinking this needs to be resolved through the courts then talk to a lawyer, not some strangers in an online forum.

Hello all!
I'm new to this community forum. So, if this topic has been previously discussed, my apologies for the redundancy.
I'd like to address the Apple CarPlay issue that many face who've purchased the 2024 Spyders. In my case, in April, I bought the Spyder F3-S, and no one at the dealership mentioned it. I learned about this issue when I tried to find Apple CarPlay in the Spyder's touchscreen and couldn't. It was only then by doing some research I learned about the issue.
I live on the west coast of central Florida. My dealer told me that what he's being told by his betters is that BRP and Apple are in some sort of licensing dispute. He said as soon it's available via an update - perhaps a firmware update - they'd let me know. I also contacted BRP directly, and all they said is that "Apple CarPlay is not available on my model at this time, but as soon as it becomes available, my local dealer will contact me."
I'm guessing most if not all of you have been told the same thing. I did read, however, that some are able to get the update/download to occur, but that the Apple CarPlay icon is greyed out or just missing entirely.
Does anyone have any better intel on this?
Thanks!

You will need to read back thru the thread at least a little, but also, please read the PM I just sent you. :thumbup:
(& send the Read Receipt too!
)Just wondering if anyone here on the board has bought a new 2024 Spyder or F3S within the past week or two and had ACP work? Me thinks that maybe the “1st batch” of Spyder’s that came out didn’t have ACP for one reason or the other….reason is that my Sales Manager said that he installed it on a customer’s Spyder last week that was sold by his dealership but when he went to install it on mine, he couldn’t. I think he is “confused” or installed the BRP Connect on a 2023 model or something. When he tried to install it on mine, he couldn’t (spent 20 minutes trying) and then walked away. I know it can be installed on my Spyder cause it WAS working on 04/04/24 went BRP came out with it (for about 4 hours), until it was pulled out of the “system” with V2.1.0—-the ACP WAS V2.1.1. Spoke briefly with the “demo ride” team member and he said it was on their “demo” models but didn’t prove it to me since he didn’t have an IPhone.
If BRP doesn’t come out with ACP soon, I will probably buy a Carpuride ACP system. It’s about $279.00 for one with a 7 inch screen. This waiting for ACP is “getting old”.

I hear you. It will be a cold day south of here when I pay even more money for an aftermarket ACP system after I just spent $33,000+ on this bike. I bought a 2024 (and paid a premium for it) specifically for the inclusion of ACP. Otherwise I would have bought a leftover 2023 at serious savings.
My patience is wearing thin as well and I will start becoming a squeakier wheel with BRP until they fix this.

I have called them about 10 times about other issues and all they will do is lie to you. They really don't give a rats a** about the customers.

Maybe May 2026?

Ok, I’m nearing the end of this ACP fiasco. If it doesn’t come out by end of May, I’m buying the Carpuride 7-inch screen module for $279.00 plus mounting hardware. I’m reaching my “patience” limit!!!! I can’t afford to sell my 2024 Spyder RTL (like Maplehawk did) and buy a new Goldwing DCT - I traded in my 2018 Goldwing for this Spyder on Feb 21st!!! If I would have just known about this issue, then I would have kept my Goldwing DCT Tour!!!!! But I do like the Spyder RTL for its larger cargo capacity when traveling w/wife and all her belongings, plus more stability in bad weather with 3 wheels down versus 2...

I talked to my dealership’s service department yesterday. He has no news on the update. In fact, he is just as upset with Can Am as I am. Two weeks ago, he reached out and was told Can Am would give him weekly updates. No updates have been given.

Little off topic with this, but wanted to forward the info. I purchased two, one directly from the carpuride website and one from Amazon for 2 different bikes. Not sure if you’re in the states, but Amazon has the carpuride 702 right now for $239.99 plus a $30 dollar coupon. And if you do order from the carpuride website, it took about 22 days for me to receive mine.
