• 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.

Has anyone solved the riddle of using Bluetooth and USB charging? BRP Connect...

I would like to use my I Phone for music and maps AAANNNDDD keep it plugged in so it is charging also. BRP Connect says Bluetooth must be turned on and phone must be connected via USB, but doing that gets me nothing thru the speakers. Using only the Bluetooth connection do I get everything thru the speakers, but the battery (obviously) isn't being charged. I feel like I am possibly missing a step. Has anyone out there been able to solve this riddle? Thanks

Find a "data blocker" - it is just a small device you plug in between the USB in the glove box (on my RT-L at least) and the phone you want to use. Then BRP-Go does not recognize the phone, lets it charge, and you can bluetooth the phone to the bike. I think I got two blockers on Amazon for $6 or close.
 
I found I could buy a "Charge Only" USB cord to use, likely has those datablockers installed or they just left out the data cables. Same result, phone stays charged while connected and BT to the sound system for everything else.
 
Here is your cure for charging from Dave
