BRP Connect/ Go a dual screen Tutorial

]This is my rendition of BRP Connect as a Tutorial and Editorial.
Chapter markers for the video are listed below. I can't recommend BRP Connect although I really wanted to be able to use it - just to buggie and considering I use a Cardo PackTalk Bold with voice commands every time I try the Cardo app in BRP Connect - it fails.

I appreciate all your information. You’ve confirmed all my complaints. For the price of a Spyder Rt Limited this system REALLY sucks! The most disappointing part of the bike. Finally they have Apple Car Play on the 2024. A few years too late BRP 🤬

[@onmyspyder5113]

I have a 2018 RTL. I gave up on BRP connect after about 6 months. It just easier to use my iPhone for music and my TomTom 550 Rider for a gps. Great tutorial.

[@DFWMoose]

Thx. I would say the general consensus would agree. A half of 7.8 inch screen that far away is difficult to see. Since BRP Go has come out, this video is still useful to see all the screens but hopefully BRP adds back some of the lost functionality when they replaced Connect with Go.

[@jf6720]

Thanks for doing your best to explain a very NOT user-friendly system. And to anyone who reads this, don't kill the messenger! I know there are a lot of problems with BRP - he did not invent it he is just trying to explain it so remember that if you want to vent.

[@DFWMoose]

Thx. I am hopeful that the pending BRP updates will solve the reliability issues. For me, it’s much easier to use Cardo voice command and the iPhone and forget the dash. I prefer to see the rpm anyway.

[@jf6720]

@@DFWMoose I have seen so many of these videos that turns into everyone going off on BRP instead of appreciating someone trying to make sense of it. Unfortunately I use my phone, when the on screen maps was one of my original attractions. Where did you hear about the new update? I hope you are right.

[@DFWMoose]

I have a short video kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2a1mWOPe8iln7c It was actually in the news section of the phone app, August 28th I think.

[@theSMYRNAcowboy]

Thank you every much on this Tutorial. I have it saved on a playlist so I can watching it over and over again until it will be come automatic.

[@DFWMoose]

Any time. Weather seems to have cooled off so hopefully tomorrow I’ll have an evening ride and load it Wednesday. Just a ride.

[@jimnielsen4076]

Thank you. This video was helpful. It's not just a brp issue. I'm coming from an Indian Roadmaster & their music controls don't work on headsets (volume, tone...). Their nav & touch screen was good. I'm getting a '22 RT and I'm getting a Zumo. I like Garman units. Wish it was integrated but no bike is perfect.

[@DFWMoose]

Glad you found it helpful. It’s the only one I’ve seen to use Picture in Picture. I too like Garmin but it maybe a waste of money as your cellphone will pickup gps without cellular service. Download a program called GPSDIAGNOSTIC and see how many satellites you get. But if you are going to travel off the beaten path then you would need offline maps as Apple Maps or Google requires cellular connection in most cases.

[@geraldgreen6278]

BRP/CanAm the Honda Goldwing navigation and sound system certainly is much easier to use and performs well on my 2012 and 2018. Either my ignorance and lack of experience isn’t helping me operate the new F3T system. Hoping for divine inspiration coming soon. Happy travels to all.

[@DFWMoose]

BRP is promising an update this summer. Just in time for iOS 16? This video is the current app interface I’ll update when BRP does. BRP Go App Tutorial to BRP Connect (the dash) on a Spyder. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGmlpXiqpreFfbs Thx for watching

[@learnwhileyoucan5947]

You and I both have similar experiences when it comes to BRP connect. On my ride on the Blue Ridge Mountain Parkway I continued to just use my iPhone connection. That said, I’m still going to play with trying to get BRP connect to work a bit better. I have the Cardo pack talk bold as well.

[@troy9er]

Thanks, but I don’t need BRP Connect. I have been ridding for over 40 years and I’m not learning a new system just to ride and enjoy my self. 👍🏻 to you for your effort.

[@DFWMoose]

Understood. The screen on the Spyder is often described as too small. Thx for watching

[@SpyderRory]

I can use Siri but I am using Sena but my connection to helmet was done through phone 2 not phone 1 and am able to use Siri to make a call

[@SpyderRory]

Try a long press on the center of joystick to get out of Fobo.

[@georgebrzeczka3554]

Bless you

[@greggarmin9426]

You know BRP GO sucks when the dealer says don’t bother using it and recommends using a stand alone GPS.

[@DFWMoose]

It’s too small that’s for sure but since I did that video they changed to BRP Go which is in some eyes even worse. I have BR paired only to the dash and either use my phone or Garmin Zumo for Nav.

[@greggarmin9426]

I haven’t tried using the BRP GO GPS yet. You’re right about the small GOS display. They should have programmed it to cover the entire screen with speed and fuel level within the GPS.

[@DFWMoose]

@@greggarmin9426 that would help. I think that trying to use the same dash on skidoo’s and snowmobile’s was a poor choice. Their 4 Wheels use a unique dash dedicated to off-road. They advertise it as 7.8 inches yet only 1/2 is GPS, too small.

[@bbalensiefer]

Ho do I get out of AUX Mode? Damn thing keeps popping up. I've tried all I know....

[@DFWMoose]

Do you have some sort of 3.5mm plug connected to the bike’s 3.5mm cable? That’s the only thing I can think of unless you’re accidentally hitting the Aux button above the tank.

[@albertdenismenard1320]

Do you need the bike to be running thanks

[@DFWMoose]

No but some things behave differently when running versus just key on. Generally it’s in the music control but generally I control my music via Siri commands. The headlights go out after thirty seconds or so when the bike isn’t running so it’s similar to a car in Accessories mode. Prevents draining the battery.

[@georgebrzeczka3554]

I have an android phone same issue. Everything you are saying here l though it was. me. One map is ask 60.00 the other one is like 40.00 I don't mind paying for a service but not if I can't do anything with it BRP program I feel is incomplete. The system down loads for ever when l decided to see thier is only bites and Pieces. I'm assuming the phone has to be hooked up every time we get On the bike. I have a senta 50S The Bluetooth from the helmet to the phone works. The phone to BRP works. The helmet to BRP Bluetooth is not Connecting . I have a 2021 RT limited Just bought a month ago but I Only have About 30 miles. Trying to get everything together. I stopped at Kelly's auto parts and bought the Mcguire's cermatic wax and cermatic detailer I got tired of KZbin I couldn't make up my mind on them. And then all the snake oil started coming out. At least mcguire's Has been around for over a 100 years. I tried it on my old helmet 1st. It came on pretty good. Then I took a leap and I decided to do the trunk on a spider . OK now I'm impressed. I'm using this so I don't have to keep waxing. And see if it protects it from getting scratched up. I noticed right away that all the black panels were super slick . I've been riding my bike around town to get used to it to get familiar with it. The last bike I had was a gold wing 1500 which I've had for 26 years. So this is a brand new animal for me to test out on my retirement.

[@DFWMoose]

I’ve abandoned BRP Connect for now. Waiting on the update announced on 8/28 as coming in a few weeks. So use my Cardo Packtalk bold in conjunction with the phone for music and GPS, no issues. It works flawlessly. If BRP Connect worked as smoothly I would use it but it doesn’t. Welcome to three wheels. Meguires is a good wax. I found the Turtle Wax Ceramic to work for me but I have used mequires very similar.

[@DFWMoose]

The plus of using Genius maps is that if the cellular single is low then the map is still displayed. But you should be able to use Google maps as the phone Android or Apple have a stand alone gps signal. It’s enhanced by cellular but NOT required.

[@randyjedneak8698]

Get sena 10s or sena spyder st1 and I phone all hands free turn it on speak into mic does what u tell it CarPlay or navigatetion much simpler canam radio way to confusing and has no power distorted u can blue tooth to bike also radio is junk but for 30gs wtf

[@SpyderBikeMike]

Thank You!

[@DFWMoose]

BRP has announced an update is pending, about six weeks ago. If it fixes the things I noted, then I may switch but I’m never putting the phone in the glove box. 😉 Thx.

[@ronaldlam3537]

May I know where can I find the genius map to download?

[@DFWMoose]

Genius map is on the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. You should be able to search for it in each platform. This is the Apple link. apps.apple.com/us/app/genius-maps-gps-navigation/id721567545 Here is the Google Playstore link play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hr.mireo.arthur

After my iphone connected to jetski via both Bluetooth and usb wire, I only see a black right screen when I press the brp connect button on the jetski. It seem no any app available even no music and map icons. What should I do?

[@DFWMoose]

@@ronaldlam3537 I am not familiar with the jet ski but you must also have BRP GO on your phone

[@robertarton6141]

Does BRP connect cost to use?

[@DFWMoose]

No but any of the GPS apps do. You can use genius maps which I prefer as it’s a one time fee and unlimited maps. Rever and Sygic have recurring fees. There is NO connection like a CarPlay or Android Play. I’d suggest you download the app and you’ll be able to quickly determine what’s included or free and what’s not. You may prefer to use Google or Apple Maps directly from your phone. The only negative is if you were to lose GPS signals but since 2017 the iPhone and most Androids have separate GPS receivers.

[@fozzybear9114]

I have 21 f3 limited. I cant get sound from front speakers? Have you had this issue?

[@DFWMoose]

No but have you had any mods done to it? Perhaps the fronts got disconnected. I’m assuming you’ve adjusted the fade At 8:13 chapter I briefly touched on fade balance. Should still be under warranty if it’s an issue.

[@georgebrzeczka3554]

I refused to do that We've had paid for a system and we're not getting what we ask for this is not our fault BRP dropped the ball All they need to do is Send An update. It be a quick fix. does your phone have to be hooked up to the system to have it work? If my phone is not plugged in none of the apps appear .what l don't understand is that it is Bluetooth so why am I plugging. My phone in to have all this to come on!

[@DFWMoose]

Bluetooth connection handles the music but In order to handle the maps and gps the cable is necessary. Bluetooth cannot handle the amount of data in GPS so that’s why it’s necessary.

[@randyjedneak8698]

Up grade to iPhone with a sena helmet setup sound is amazing and gps all controlled by sena system don’t even need to turn junk radio on

[@randyjedneak8698]

Also the junk radio doesn’t have a auxiliary input for phones it’s a out put the usb is just a charger bad set up Canadians must be from England everything is backwards

[@thomasnappo6309]

WHAT I HATE MOST...IS THAT BLACK BAR DOWN THE MIDDLE OF SCREEN..😊And all that money spent on your Trike...there's NO BUILT IN NAVIGATION GPS..😢😢😢

[@DFWMoose]

Well BRP is using this for sea, Snow and road and saving in development costs. ANC they seem unwilling to change. You’re not the first to note

[@ThomasNappo]

THESE BIKES COST ALOT OF MONEY....DEALER LICKS YOUR BUTT TO GET THE SALE...AFTER THAT..YOUR A NOBODY...BUY A HARLEY INSTEAD..😂😂😂

[@DFWMoose]

But a Harleys gonna cost another $10,000 the new 24 or something to look at with the new dash it’s replaces older system

[@randyjedneak8698]

You would think for 30 gs the radio sucks speakers to there is no power in radio lacks watts sounds terrible what do u expect for 30 gs common bro put more power in radio it don’t cost much to put a better radio and speakers all made in china glad I purchase a sena st1 set up with apple phone why don’t u have a aux input disappointmented 2021 spyder limited chrome Rt junk radio way to confusing

Many would agree. Truly the sound wouldn’t be very good coming through the helmet from any speakers.

Wow. I can hear my wife coming down the block clearly with the stock system on our RT Limited when I dared her to push it. Sounds equal to the system I put on my Street Glide with the amps turned off. Though on the interstate it distorts at around 80 mph, fades in and out at higher volume.
