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't hear the music from my phone

No sound from speakers with brp connect or bluetooth
I am having trouble trying to play music from my Android phone on my F3 Limited. I have tried both BRP Connect, with data cable attached, and just with Bluetooth. I can see the albums and songs on the screen, and when a song is playing, no sound comes from the speakers. I have the audio set to speakers, not helmet.
So far I am not impressed with the whole system. Seems like it could be made simpler.

Turn on your Spyder ignition key. Wait and let your phone BT pair with your smartphone. Do not plug it in to the Spyders usb port. If your music player did not start on its own. Start it from your phone. Then turn turn up the media volume from the phone volume control. You will get a warning that high volume will damage your hearing. Choose continue or whatever to ignore the warning and increase the volume to full.

Glad that worked for you. You will likely have to do that again everytime time after you have cycled your phone off and on. BRP Connect is not useless. I just prefer not to use it. Now that you have the volume issue fixed on your phone. You can go back to trying out BRP Connect. You may like the apps on your screen.

I mistakenly thought he was using the USB interface. If it's compatible with android, please inform if that is a new feature. I have a 2016 and the USB will work with nothing but Apple. Same as my spouseling's Honda car. Pain in the Android to be sure.

The OP has a 2019. The USB plug will work with an iphone or android phone and display compatible apps on the Spyders screen. Audio is done by BT. ipod or usb stick is no longer compatible. Not the same as your 2016.

Your 2016 does not really need an iphone or android. A simple thumb drive plugged into the USB port will play music stored on the thumb drive. That feature was deleted in 2018 with the advent of BRP disconnect.
I have had no luck hearing anything with clarity on a motorcycle or a Can Am. The volume must be set so high that I get distortion. The Can Am system is awful. I stream from my phone by Bluetooth to my helmet intercom. Also, since I wear ear plugs, the volume is set high but overall the noise level is not.
This works well for me to listen to music and directions and does not lay out an objectionable noise level for those around me.
