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.
Can a J&M handlebar CB be installed through the Can-Am radio?

Your only option is bluetooth, a BT CB adapter, and add-on PTT button.

Let's clarify the situation. I was taking the OP's question as asking if a J & M CB could be connected into the Spyder radio just like the BRP CB is. In that case the answer is no. No CB other than the BRP one can be integrated into the audio system and provide both transmit and receive functions plus the use of the PTT.
Now, if the OP is asking if a J & M CB can be connected to the radio so the audio can be heard over the speakers, then the answer is yes. But in that case he needs some sort of microphone connection into the CB in order to transmit, and an add-on PTT button.
I agree the audio could be connected into the GPS audio in, but then that precludes the use of a GPS. But I'm wondering about connecting into the RDO entertainment harness input. Both the CB and XM receiver have several connections to the radio aside from the audio signal. I expect that the audio unit will not switch to either of those inputs when there is a connection to the audio input in the absence of the other connections. So I think the only input option available is the GPS input, and then only if there is no GPS connected.

Midland handheld
I have the midland handheld cb and Bluetooth I love it works great. Motorcycledave makes a cable to run the rt radio thru Bluetooth so I have everything

On my 2014, I mounted the JB on the handle bar and use that PPT button. I had my own Garmin 650, so used a ram mount to mount it to the center of the handle bar and used the audio out to go to the rear and plug into the radio with a mini-plug. CB only works through the headsets, media player works through bike and headsets, and mics work as IC and CB. We also have mic-mutes to cut the extra noise when talking together. I think that's how I did it.
