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 think the 2019 is the same as the 2018, which I have. I found mine on the right side, right behind the gas tank. https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums...cessory-12-VDC-Keyed-circuit&referrerid=34189

The GPS connection should be the USB in the front cargo that you plug a smartphone into Way faster processor for faster navigation, faster route creation and easier to use with joystick.

Mr. 3ntune,
My answer was for the dedicated standalone GPS connection, not the BRP connect smartphone app. If you are looking for the stuff to hook up a Garmin, peel off the right side plastic and look behind the gas tank. Also there is supposed to be an integration plugin behind the right saddlebag that allows the Garmin to feed into the audio system, but I didn't use that one. I think that one takes an additional harness.

There appears to be some clarification needed.
The connection on the right side, rear of the fuel tank. Is gps power only. There is no connection to the audio system. So key on power. That goes for 2018 and 2019 RT models. If that is what you want for a standalone gps. Connect for power there.
If you want to connect your standalone gps to the audio system. Then you will have to somehow connect the audio out on the gps, to the aux connector in your front trunk.
Your RT is designed to use a smartphone as your gps. The gps app runs on your phone. It is connected to the Spyder by a usb cable and BT. The gps app will display on the right side of the dash screen.
What I do is use my smartphone as a gps. But it is mounted on the handlebars. I have also mounted a power plug there to keep the phone charged up if needed. The phone is is connected to the dash by BT only. So I use the screen on my phone and the audio comes out my Spyders speakers or helmet headset depending on what I choose at the time.

I must have got confused, I looked at this video without realizing they had changed the locations of some of the stuff. I don't have mine integrated into the sound system, so I never checked for the connector behind the right saddlebag. This video must be an early model. https://youtu.be/cRH4JP7fmZU

2010 to 2012 needs the adapter cable. Included in the brp kit. That give the 12v power and audio into the radio. 2013 and later does not need an adapter cable.
