• 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.

BUDS Alternative - asking for your help to get a new tool????

I have a GS911 and it is great and the guys that produced are great but they really don't seem intersted in expanding past BMW, I have tried to convince them with no luck. But then again if everyone tried it might help.

Maybe not so much the guys issue, BRP complicated things enough that Rodger-spyder codes had to stop:banghead::banghead::sour:
 
Took a quick look at GS911. To begin with it uses a standard OBD connector. BRP for Spyders and many UTV/ATV models use a Deutsch DB6 connector. The DB6-OBD adapter is easy to build and can be used to read the CANBUS messages. But BRP is using non-standard proprietary OBD PIDs. If you have a BUDS you can monitor the CANBUS traffic and eventually decode the PIDs. But with a 500kbps CANBUS there's traffic is pretty heavy (about 16 message/sec for typical identifier). Here's the analyzer I'm using https://www.amazon.com/Analyzer-CAN-BUS-Intelligent-Converter-Adapter/dp/B07FY4YLPL/

PS the differences between my earlier posts and now are due to loss of ignorance. Turns out the Spyder CANBUS was overrunning my analyzer and I wasn't aware of it.
