• 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.

I Pod Playlist control

The I Pod controls for my new '12 RT limited seem to be different from my '11 RT. If I wanted to change the song on the old machine I just pushed the advance button on the right side of the control cluster and it moved to the next song.... or, if I pushed it and held it, the next playlist would be selected.

On the new machine nothing happens when I push the button until I go back to the 'mode' button, select I-Pod and then push the advance button. That seems to be an extra step I don't want to take. I can't see anything in the manual about this.

Is this just the way the thing is now set up? Does anyone know how to change the set up back to the way it was on the earlier model?
 
That stinks! Guess they either reprogrammed it, or you have a defect. Your dealer will probably have to contact BRP to verify it. I'd have hime do so.

I am considering a 2012 RT-S, Just curious did you find an answer?
 
I'm still getting the hang of the controls on my 2010... :shocked: :gaah:
I hit "mode" until the MP3 player comes up; bu then I couldn't advance to the next song with the buttons. I had the Ipod set to play the songs in random order; I'll see if that's the problem this afternoon. I'll pundh it in to have them played in order and then tap on the button a bit... :pray:

If you are in aux mode with an alternate mp3 player you cannot change tunes, just volume. If you are in iPod mode, it should work from the normal display. You don't need to be on the iPod screen to change tunes on a 2010 or 2011.

It should show automatically when you plug in and start your iPod. If it shows "Aux" instead, you have a cable problem or you started the iPod before you started the Spyder. Unplug the iPod and try again, or turn it off and then back on, and see if it changes. Be sure your cable is plugged into the iPod all the way. Some cases prevent both latches from catching. The iPod may play, but won't register as an ipod.

Also make sure you are using the rectangular iPod connector like what you sync with, and not the connector that plugs into the headphone jack.
 
i pod issues too

My 2012 RT Unlimited used to work fine with the ipod...showing playlist etc.

Now, like you, it only comes up AUX with no play list and you cannot advance the song. The dealer switched out the cable and said it was faulty. But it hasn't corrected the problem.

When I first got the bike the Ipod would display and playlists came up...but it would only advance thru like 15 songs and come back to the beginning even though there was about 190 songs on the ipod.

Also it doesn't charge the ipod anymore and it used to. This will be the 3rd time I've taken it in to the dealer for this. I hear 'cable' and "it is my ipod". I think I have a ghost in my machine for sure.

Always something wrong with my RT. They have already replaced the cluster once.

Any help?:yikes:
 
Keep on your dealer! If they say the problem is with your iPod, then they should rule it out by proving another one works. I would have a hard time believing that there wasn't somebody at the dealership who didn't have an iPod they can use to test whether it's getting power for a charge.
 
I'd be very surprised if at least one of the people at the dealer didn't have an iPod or iPhone they could prove to you with that it's your iPod. If it does the same thing t them, then it's not your pod.
 
You may want to check my new post, it deals with the same thing more or less. They installed a complete new radio in my 2011, the new one is 2012. I am not sure what is going on but it went dead and then changed to AUX on the dash. I charged in the house and installed it and it plays right but not sure if it is actually charging. I guess I have to play awhile to see if the battery stays full or not now. The new cord that goes between the radio and the trunk plug is now a short one with no black box in line, if they use the wrong cord it will not charge (BRP has a blurb out on this).

Good luck

They did have an itouch and 2 iphones. They all work. My nano and itouch must be too old they think. it seems to be a software interface problem for my bike. Just an update for you. I'm OK with purchasing another nano if it will fix it!

I have a 2011 Limited and also a two year old Nano that is not recognized by the audio but my iPhones works just fine.
