It's Heeeeerrrrrrreeeeeeeee!!!!!!! Navigation!

[hogmemberisold]

Ok,

Last night BRP Go! update on my android phone and gave me an indication in the app that navigation should be available now on the Spyder....

This morning I pulled the bike outside closer to the 2G wifi and now the bike is updated to V5.## software and shows a heading of "Navigation" in the menu.

We are heading out of town this morning so I will mess with it after getting back...

Just a heads up to those with a 10.25" display... It's Heeeeerrrrrrrreeeeeee!!

Actually it is a connection between Android or Apple phones and the BRP GO! app on the phones that allows the embedded navigation of the app to show in the Spyder cluster, not the full Android Auto mais certainly a solution for Android phones owners. Only applies to the 2024 + new 10.25" dashboard, which has to be updated to V5.1.0 from the previous 4.1.0

Installed the update via wifi. Downloaded the BRP GO app and registered. Connected my Samsung phone via Bluetooth. Opened the applet to navigation. Opened the BRP GO app on my phone. Plugged in a USB A to USB C cable. The app connects for a split second and then disconnects. The phone switches from charging only to transfer data, back and forth for a minute or so until the app says it can't connect. I've tried several different cables to no avail.

I have provided you with the solution in your other post here :

Post in thread 'No Apple Car Play when updated BRP Go - can I still get to it somehow?'

Thursday at 4:25 PM

Updated my 2026 S2S today with BRP Go nav. Now there's no Apple Car Play... not even the Icon! It was replaced by the BRP Go nav icon. Can I still get to it somehow?

Go into your preferences and scroll down to the navigation options.
Once there you will see a "on-off" toggle to activate or remove the BRP GO navigation as the default navigation option which will restore the Apple CarPlay icon on the main page after a screen reboot.

I have a Galaxy S22U and experienced the same thing after updating for the nav. I was able to fix it by going into USB settings (drag down from top left corner and select USB connection) while connected and changing it to "Controlled by Connected device" (vs default "Controlled by This device"). Once I changed that it auto switched to transferring files/Android Auto (from charging only) and all was well...

Thank you! I will give that a shot.

If you want to go back to apple carplay simply go back into preferences and scroll down to navigation. Turn it off and the apple carplay applet reappears. Back to brp-go? turn navigation back on.

Thanks amkrat for getting me pointed in the right direction. I realize this after playing around with it for a while.

Are you referring the USB settings on your phone?
I can get to the point where it tells me I have a bad cable or to clean ports?
I'm not good with technology... sorry for my question.

Yes on the Samsung phone once you make a USB connection it asks you how you want to control that USB connection (this device or connected device controls the connection; is the connection only for charging or for transferring files/Android Auto, etc.). It pops up a notification that you can then pull down the notifications list (drag down from the upper left on your phone and it displays a list of running apps and notifications) and select the USB connection notification to open your USB settings and make your selections/adjustments.

HOWEVER, I take back what I said about this USB setting choice making all well. It worked OK in my garage, but I went out on a 100mi ryde this morning and it went back to the constant connecting/disconnecting BS almost immediately. I tried several things during the ryde to fix it but in the end had to UNINSTALL the BRP app just to get some semblance of control over my phone (so that I could navigate using my Rever app and keep the phone charged using the USB cable) and complete the ryde. I shoulda figured BRP would release a half-a$$ software update that $hits all over the Android community and is essentially less than worthless because now I have to figure out how to disable the Spyder from constantly looking for the BRP app when I plug in for power... The Spyder is AWESOME, OTHER than the very poor connectivity software. As others have noted, Bluetooth connectivity (and CarPlay/AA) have been working pretty flawlessly for a long time in cars - very disappointing that this really doesn't work better (or at all frankly).
