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.
Compatability and fitment of a RT622 trailer on a 2016 RT
- Thread starter AY4B
- Start date
Either of the BRP trailers will be compatible, fit, & tow well behind any model Spyder as long as it's got a suitable hitch, OE or A/mkt - even tho BRP/SOME Dealers will tell you that you MUST use an OE BRP hitch, but that's just codswallop invented by the marketing guys & sold by the unknowing to the gullible! 
Also, the BRP/CanAm Spyder wiring looms & computers etc are substantially the same across the various models with only minor/incidental differences, so any module & wiring that worked on an F3 should work on an RT & vice versa, just so long as you connect it all back up properly!
All of which means you should be good to go!
hyea: . Just take your time removing all the extra tupperware, and it might be worthwhile taking lotsa pics as things come off so you can see how to put it all back again! :thumbup:

As I read your post, it sounds as if, because you are selling your RT622 trailer, you plan to remove from your 2016 RT the trailer harness and modules?
Removing those is fairly easy, access is entirely on the Spyders left side. You simply disconnect the two trailer connectors, remove those modules, then reconnect the two oem connectors back together. That is how it is for the Can Am accessory trailer harness / modules. If your setup is aftermarket, and spliced into the Spyders wire harness, proceed with caution.

Thats what I thought, I just wanted to do my due diagence and make sure. Everything, The Hitch, Wiring Harness, and module is OEM.

Sorry, I was under the impression you were removing entirely the trailer hitch and the trailer electrical harness on account of your topic title stating you sold the RT622.
By the sound of it now, you are trying to swap a F3 electrical harness onto a RT. The trailer with 4 pin will work fine with a Can Am 4 pin setup designed for the vehicle the wire harness is installed on.
By your recent comments, you are finding one Spyder had a twelve pin electrical harness while the other had a ten pin harness. In that case, you will need the correct Can Am harness and module to have a plug and play installation. The 4 pin for the trailer itself remains the same.

I did sell the trailer but am doing the conversion to his RT. The square 4 pin connection from the trailer to the Spyder remains the same. What is different is the plug that the module taps into under the seat. Ill probably have to call BRP and get the proper Y adapter and module, but first I will call around locally to dealers to see if it is something they carry. I was hoping someone on this forum knew what I was talking about and had the right harness laying around. The module I have has 6 wires coming in one side and 4 wires going out the other side. The RT has 5 to 4.

Understand the goal now. The dealer should have a chart that shows which models get which electrical module.
Yes maybe someone here has what you need, if not, it may be difficult and expensive getting it new from a dealer.
Sorry I misunderstood initially, I was under the impression the trailer was gone and you were merely removing the electrical stuff, not reinstalling on another Spyder.

The splitter that fits his bike is available separately. About $40. The module and wire that goes to the trailer can be reused.
Plugs right in. The module output wire goes to a connector under the saddlebag. I’ve done F3 to RT, RT to F3, old RT to new RT, and every combination. Works. Call if you have questions. Joe

This maybe? I was quoted more than the 40.00 in the above reply though.

The third one over, top row, lists RT-2018. The harnesses were discussed last year. I just reviewed some old threads, particularly these. https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums...2-hitch-harness&highlight=trailer+module+2018 & https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?128664-Y-Connector&highlight=trailer+module+2018 What you actually have is a 12 pin connector, not 6 pin, and your buyer has a 10 pin connector, not 5 pin. 2010 to 2017 RTs used the 10 pin connectors. 2016 & 2017 F3s used a 12 pin connector. Both RTs and F3s, 2018 on, use a 16 pin connector. You should be golden with the one you have on order.
