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.

Probably none unless you want to listen to the Spyder audio system.

Agree totally, the only that a SM10 will do is bluetooth the audio system from the bike to up to two riders.
Pairing with the 660
Darn, that doesn't work, I could only pair to one helmet from the GPS. (Maybe there is a way around that - wouldn't matter because read on...)
OK, next step to get around that limitation, pair to only one Sena from the GPS and do the music sharing between the 2 Sena 20s.
Well that can work, but the quality of the music sound was absolutely terrible - even paired to only one Sena without music sharing.
So then, unpaired everything from the GPS, let it output to the bike via its cradle. Then plugged the SM10 into the bike and easily paired it to both Senas and the sound was 1000% better.
Then put my music on a USB stick and selected that as the source into the bike and now I had music and GPS 2 both Senas....well until I get the USB current error.
So now, we ride with GPS instructions only and listen to the highway and each other and I think we actually enjoy the road trip even more - plus none of that frustration.
If we did ever go back to wanting music, I think I would get an MP3 player and plug it into the SM10 or maybe even use my smart phone.
Whatever you decide, if you choose to pair to that 660 for music, be sure to test a few songs first - you may or may not have the quality issue I had with the sound.
I also am sure there are a 100 different ways to get what you want, I am sure others have solutions.
I had the exact same setup - up until a couple weeks ago. I decided to load my music onto the 660 and pair it to our 2 helmets.
