• 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.

Garage door opener issues

Another nail in the coffin of the '18 models.
I REALLY feel sorry for you guys.

Is your remote on the Spyder hardwired or is it just a hand-held unit mounted somewhere ?

I think it will be a cold day in hell before BRP will be able or willing to help with that problem.

If you have your remote powered from the Spyder, you might have to switch to a battery powered "clicker".

I used the clinker that came with the opener. Soldered two small wires from the clicker to a small push button switch on the dash and keep the clicker on the glove box. Works everytimes. Just press the small switch on the dash.
 
Hi Dave,

Re: I have a . . . opener on my garage door, I got an extra opener and opened it up to expose the printed circuit board, . . . I found the 2 points on it that are connected to the button, I soldered wires to those points and ran them to a button I installed in my dash I put the opener under the plastic behind the dash... mine is an older RS. now all I do is push that button and the door opens

This exactly what I did with my '08 GS. I did somewhat secure the opener with a couple of zip ties ( not real tight ) so it would not fall down onto anything below.

I have a Lift Master opener on my garage door, I got an extra opener
and opened it up to expose the printed circuit board, using a test light
from Auto Zone I found the 2 points on it that are connected to the button,
I soldered wires to those points and ran them to a button I installed in my dash
I put the opener under the plastic behind the dash... mine is an older RS.
now all I do is push that button and the door opens I have only had to change the
9 volt battery one time in about 4 years. Total cost 2 wires and a push button from
Auro Zone.
I did the same thing using a 19mm Marine grade momentary switch. It's solid black and fits perfectly in the hole where the heated grip switch would go if I had that option on my F3-T. I velcroed the garage remote to the side of the tank under the side panel.
