• 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.

BRP Connect Ver 4.1 is now available for WI-FI download. Improvements to stability and Apple Car Play. After I downloaded and installed it I tried it out. It seems like ACP loaded almost instantly. Very happy about that if it remains so. I was happy with Ver 3.1 and ACP. If Ver 4.1 makes it even better, I'm a fan. Don't know what they mean by stability improvements. time will tell I guess.
 
I will do the update tomorrow, but 3.1 has been a pain sometimes. It connects ok most of the time, but it's painfully slow. Sometimes it locks up, or drops out etc. I have ridden a little more than 10,000 Km’s with that version, so I'm hoping 4.1 is better…

Update is done, load a lot faster so big improvement, will ride soon…

I've now downloaded and installed the update, and it gave me an odd message about an Audio update when it finished the installation.
It did require me to restart the bike for the update process to complete.

After restarting, I checked the Audio settings and it had switched from "headset" to "speakers", so I switched it back to headset, which is what I've used in the past.

After the restart, it connected quickly to the headset in my helmet, which I had powered on during the restart. As I had previously experienced, I had to plug and unplug my iPhone a couple of times before it recognized that it was plugged into the USB port. Once it "saw" that the iPhone was connected, the CarPlay map of my home came up quickly.

I'll go for a ride tomorrow morning to see how CarPlay works now.

I'm holding my breath on this update. The clock had to be reset, and the screen froze on me twice already this morning. When working properly I've not noticed any real improvement. 3.1 was working so well for me that I hope I don't regret upgrading to 4.1. I am going to trust for now that the upgrade is simply working it's way through all the lines of code and will soon emerge as a great step up in performance and reliability.
