• 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.

What might this be?

This afternoon I had some free time and decided to get to know my rss a little better. I'm still fairly new to the spyder world. I decided to take the plastic covers off to look around the inside workings of it. I removed the cover on the top of the frunk and noticed what looks like a aftermarket add on? It's a black box with a cable coming out of it that is ziptied to a support bracket. I googled the numbers on the back of it and looks like it might be a GPS part, but I'm not sure. Has anyone seen anything like this before on their spyder?

think you are right ...

i like the way you tracked the i.d. number , I think you are right on the " what is it item "
 
It looks very much like the remote antenna for the GPS Tracker mounted on one of my vehicles.... I can't quite see the number details clearly, but they are certainly in the same place & about the same length as those on my antenna?!? There again, many devices that need to receive satelite signals use similar antennae, & then there's remote sensors for toll readers etc.... ;)

I take it you bought the RSS second hand? Can you ask the previous owner! :dontknow:

I agree. Looks to be a gps locating device, like Lojack. Follow the cable to see where it goes. If it just goes to power and ground, then it is most likely a gps locator. Maybe someone is looking for their spyder! :joke:
