Wouldn't be nice if we really could choose to be beta testers and have the ACP crashes sent back so they actually had data to work with?

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.
CarPlay Froze, then entire Head Unit Froze Up While Riding, then supposedly updated and rebooted on the Highway - Anyone else had this happen?

I retired after way too many years working in the computer software industry, and have done my fair share of software testing of new versions.
If they gave me a Spyder and asked me to be a tester I'd agree.
But I paid way too much money for a beta version.
Rode for 5 hours yesterday, including a few stops along the way. ACP worked perfectly. So I really don't think it's the iOS beta, since it works fine in multiple vehicles, and it is about as reliable (other than that one freeze/reboot glitch) as usual. Didn't even get the customary head unit freeze requiring a restart of the bike at all yesterday.
When it works, which is most of the time, it's great. Being able to stream Apple Music, or SiriusXM while having on-screen navigation to my destination is so nice. I just moved too so I am not that familiar with the area once I leave my local spots.

Just took a short ride this morning and ACP froze 2 miles down the road. Had to pull over and the complete start up procedure to get it back. Did a 30 min ride north and then turned the nav for home, froze again for about 5 min then restarted itself. ACP is flakey enough where I think Garmin will be calling my name.
