• 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.

Thought I had the problem taken care of and had posted about this problem before in another thread but can't find it so I'll repost. Been having a problem with the volume suddenly going full blast and with helmets on thats an eye opener. Hitting the mute button doesn't turn it off but hitting the raise button does.....sort of backwards. It has happened several times and for no apparent reason. I played with the auto volume adjust....don't know why other than it was something to try...and for some reason that seemed to take care of the problem. We went on several rides and all was fine for a couple of weeks , no problems , everything worked fine.

Headed for Tenn last weekend and about 200 miles into the trip the volume problem reappeared , hit the raise button and it muted . System seemed to be working normal , cb , radio , intercom..After about another 50 miles it did it again . This time after muting , the raise button didn't work ...never moved on the panel. The intercom was still working so we continued down the road with no music to keep wife happy. Not long after that the intercom started acting up , losing volume in pass headset and I wasn't able to talk to her. She could talk to me and I could sort of hear her and no amount of button pushing made any difference , tried them all. After about 15 minutes her system went down also and everything was dead.No music , no cb , no intercom , total silence . Stopped for gas and played with buttons and nothing , didn't try external speakers but did swap headsets and didn't make a difference. Figured that it had finally stayed broken and planned on taking it into the dealer today .Started the bike up and drats...system was working again , both headsets were fine and everything working like it should.

Has anyone else had a similar problem ? To me it almost has to be in the mode cluster panel since the switch works backward when the volume rears up and mute button don't work. Any other time I can push and hold the button and it mutes.

In the preferences mode under headsets thre's a string of numbers that come up .Looked in the manual and all paperwork and can't find anything about what they are. I made several adjustments up and down to them when the problem was there but nothing changed. Getting frustrating , especially since it won't stay broken so they can trouble shoot it. Did go to the dealer today and they said if it ain't broke they can't fix it but they would contact BRP with the question.

2011 RTSS
 
I have had problems with my 2011 RT Limited radio. First the left front speaker began to pop when starting the vehicle. This happened for a few rides but all seemed the same with the radio. Then the volume was totally gone...barely audible.

The dealer ordered a new left speaker. Once it was installed however the same problem started again. The speaker 'sucked in' and did not push out. Then they knew it was the radio itself. The only thing I found with the radio before this was the Ipod did not respond and shuffle normally. The buttons on the radio hand switch didn't seem consistent in what I told it to do.

It is frustrating to figure it out on back roads or at 60 mph.

That may not be exactly the problem you are experiencing but they did replace the radio because it was bad.

Hope that helps!

Resurrecting this thread.....

I am having the same issue with the mute/volume feature on my '11 RT-S and am wondering if exwinger was able to figure out the cause and whether it's been fixed...?? Or has anyone else experienced this and have gotten it fixed?

I have a 2011 rt with 350 miles on it which just started doing the same thing. I havent contacted my dealer yet but I am interested in hearing what anyone finds out.
