I just did a Software Update on my new 2026 S2S!

I just got my 2026 Spyder Sea to Sky.

After a few days riding I parked it up in the garage and connected it to my home Wi-Fi.

Despite being new it told me there was a software update available when I checked.

So, with the ignition on and the engine off I did as follows.

So I updated the software. It takes about 10 minutes to download and about 10 minutes to install. It requires you to confirm installation after it’s downloaded.

Whilst installing, there are several times when the screen goes blank for a while, but you just have to patient. It will come back on and indicate progress, so don’t turn it off assuming there’s an error or it’s finished.

The engine should not be started until the whole process completes.

I think it just updated the console and audio software. It seems to retain your settings though.

So the dealer didn’t update it? Or is it a new version?

I had an update on my 2025 F3T about a week ago, that's how it
did the update on mine also

What's new or changed?

Was the update newer than the V4.1 provided last year?

It was brand new and it was assembled out of the crate a week ago. I picked it up the day it was finally assembled.

So I presume the software was released between the time the unit was being built and the day I received delivery.

I’m a bit OCD in checking everything with software that has an “update software” button, so I connected it to my house Wi-Fi network and checked if I had the latest. It appeared not to be.

I shall check everything I guess monthly now to see how often updates are pushed.

I assume as mine is a 2026 Sea to Sky, the update might well apply to every model with the new display such as 2024 RT LTD’s onwards.
