New Update Nov 30 '24 - anyone updated their '24 RT? What does it do?

I get power to the plug when the Spyder goes into reverse, so it is not that fuse. I was hoping the reference was to a fuse on the camera feed to the dash.

Thank you for the pic! I have been scouring the web with no luck.

The new panel is $225 so I figure I can do without the fancy bevel on the hole.

Since the Sea to Sky had the camera in 2024, I have some hope that I can get this working...

The 2024 Sea to Sky did NOT have a camera or a camera hole - mine is a 2024.

All the 2024 has for the camera is the lead and the lettering on the fuse box.

I’m thinking the back panel also has a way to mount the camera bracket, as well as the hole for camera.

OK, Dansy, I am confused. You attached the picture and said "I insert a photo from someone else's S2S 2024 camera".

So is the picture of a 2024 S2S or is it really a 2025?

I just had the backup camera installed on my 2025 F3-T. According to my mechanic the installation went really easy. He got it all hooked up, turned the bike on, put it in reverse and nothing on the dash. He discovered that along with installing the camera you have to tell the computer that it is installed. He went into the menu on the screen and searched until he found where you can turn on the backup camera. Fast forward to 26:10 in the video.

Great video! I watched the entire thing and learned a lot. Thank you Peder.

Unfortunately, I tried turning the camera on and off on the dash but the picture never came up, nor did any of the IR lights come on. And I verified that the plug has power when put in reverse.

I had to put everything back together for a Teddy Bear for Kids ride yesterday and will be doing a cat delete tomorrow so it will probably be a week or so before I pull it back apart to play with the camera again.

Thanks to everyone for their responses; with all of us involved I'm confident I'll eventually have the camera working. Even if I have to buy the $225 back fender...

2025

Let us know what was required to make this work, I’m interested…

OK, that explains my confusion.

Spent the better part of the afternoon installing my RLS cat delete. I used a ratchet strap to stretch the springs which made them much easier to remove/install (that top spring is a bxxxh). I'm going to enjoy our beautiful spring weather and do some riding this week.

I contacted BRP to get a shop manual but they are waiting for a couple of sections to be finished. Once I have that, I'll start doing more testing of the camera.

Just downloaded the 2024 RT manual. The wiring diagram on pages 367-369 show wiring for "Camera" so there is hope.

Now I just have to pore through 1198 pages to figure out how to get the camera working.

I can confirm that a backup camera works on a 2024 Spyder RT Limited. I bought a cheap camera on Amazon and was able to get it to work.
This was the camera I used:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B95J5JC5?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

The 3 pin connector that has been discussed previously near the left rear light IS the connector for the camera.
Here are pics of mine.

-

The male end with end cap plugs is attached to the female end with the wires.
Here is a clip from the maintenance manual of the pinout.



Also, here you can see the Camera (-) eventually goes to ground.



So I connected the cameras - and power - to Camera (-), the cameras power + to Backup Light / 12V Cam, and the cameras signal to Camera (S).

Turned on the Backup Camera in the software and put it in Reverse and the camera image displayed on the screen.
Since this wasn’t the OEM camera, I’m not sure the backup lines mean much.

Also, I’m waiting on some terminal connectors so I can use the existing male end rather than wait 2-4 weeks to get one from Amazon.
Finally still trying to decide it I will use this camera or buy another one and where to mount it… but at least it works.

I've got a couple of rides this weekend but may try the aftermarket camera on mine next week.
