Got mine today. Very simple thanks to this video👊🏾👊🏾

[@lmiller4121]

Excellent video. I used shrink tubing on the connected wires insted of tape.

[@jeremyshideler4187]

Heat shrink and soldered connections would be better.!!!

[@Spoileddude]

Installed mine on my 2021 RT. I love it! Easy install.

[@Cages_Customs]

Where is the customer accessory circuit on a 2017 RT?

[@patmondou]

great adds to the F3 but blocking view to speedometer.

[@Slingmods]

Hello, we have two versions of this. One "with" a center tab, and one "without" a center tab. www.slingmods.com/can-am-spyder-f3-cell-phone-gps-docking-station-with-phone-charge-port Thanks!

[@johnrosberg7744]

Awesome component but where did you run the wire directly below the power plate? And why remove the fairing?

[@fletchlivesdaily348]

That is location of customer accessory wire

[@phrankguy1]

Same question here. They skipped over that. I guess they don't respond to comments.

[@davidyes7428]

I just bought a 2022 F3s spyder and I bought the power supply and the stereo system how do I mount the 2 of them together the mounting cover for the tuner won't fit over the power supply bracket????

[@Slingmods]

Hello David, which stereo system did you purchase? If you bought our SSV stereo for the F3, it's not compatible with the Spyder Extras docking station as they both occupy the same real estate in the center of the handlebars. If you purchased our JBL stereo system for the F3, then you can run both the speakers and the docking station as they mount in two different locations.

[@TheTaino320]

Great video, thanks

[@ericdevries8696]

Do you really need to take the whole fairing off? Isn't the wire under the little side access panel?

[@Slingmods]

Hello Eric, the 12v accessory harness on our F3 was buried quite low. If you can access your accessory power harness without removing the side fairing.. than removing the side fairing is not needed. Thx for watching.

[@susierebelryder492]

How do we route the wires? This video doesn’t show where the wiring is routed.

[@matthewscheuer6739]

I put them through the hole where the other cords are running near the handlebars

[@djihn13]

What was the purpose of removing the fairing???....

[@djihn13]

Never mind now I know why the fairing needs to be removed....

[@richardmiller433]

Why? I’m watching and it seemed pointless.

[@tracygudeman1698]

so i got this item and got the accessory and LED switch buttons to go with this item in video.. how do we install the LED and Acessory switches..?

[@Slingmods]

Hello Tracy, here is the instruction sheet link for you. This will explain what each wire color is for. Thank you! www.slingmods.com/pdf/spyder-extras-12v-docking-station-install.pdf

[@joeblack6301]

What size hex key is that ? We’re the bolts hard to take off???

[@Daniel_pc70]

ok nice but what about 2018 RTL ?

[@weld3z]

Hi .. for 2020+ you only got it in usb ports !! I want the one with 12v and usd port can you give me the direct link if you hsve it .. Thanks

[@Slingmods]

Hello Ahmed, the one we're selling is actually a dual usb on one side and a 12v on the other like this image here: www.slingmods.com/image/catalog/spyder-extras/2020-rt-docking-station/canam-spyder-rt-docking-station-2020-up-main-glow2.jpg The installed images being used are from the mfg and are confusing for that reason. We'll be taking new pics this week to correctly represent the version we're selling. Thanks for the heads up on that.

[@weld3z]

@@Slingmods Thanks for fast response well buy it soon ..

[@larrymiller1380]

So this is hot only when the key is on I would want it to be hot all the time so I could plug in a battery tender

[@Slingmods]

Hello Larry, we do have this SAE Battery Charge Port Connector that works nicely on our Spyder: www.slingmods.com/batteryminder-ezc-01-surface-flush-mount-charge-port-sae

[@kimmcentire9746]

How about for a Ft?

[@Slingmods]

Hello Kim, the RT docking station is available here: www.slingmods.com/canam-spyder-rt-2020-up-handlebar-mount-12-volt-docking-station-with-usb-charge-ports

[@bookemdanno4355]

I got this but sadly it blocks the speedometer on my 2020 f3 touring. .so ill prob remove it.

[@Slingmods]

Hello Bookem, I'm sorry to hear that. We offer this product in two variations for that exact reason. One is "with" a center tab and one is "without". They sell evenly so we still keep both options available.

[@bookemdanno4355]

@@Slingmods even the power ports slightly get in the way. They need to be adjustable. If I were taller it prob wouldnt be so bad.

[@Slingmods]

@@bookemdanno4355 Understood.. bummer! The power ports are also further apart on option B. My sincere apologies for any confusion there. We added the pictures to the site of both options so customers could tell the differences before purchasing.. but maybe we should add dimension differences as well to further distinguish. If you wanna swap em out.. we can do that for you. Please let us know! We don't want you stuck with something you can't use. Thanks!

[@kevinjones7054]

What kinda windshield is that?? Where did you get it from?? And where did you get the charging unit from??

[@Slingmods]

Hello Kevin - This is the F4 windshield for the Can-Am Spyder F3. The windshield can be found here: www.slingmods.com/can-am-spyder-f3-f3s-clear-tinted-adjustable-windshield-f4-customs Hope this helps!

[@matthewscheuer6739]

So FYI, the handlebar bolts you need to remove are actually 7mm and super tight. It was pretty easy with a long hex socket and a breaker bar from Harbor Freight

[@Slingmods]

Interesting... there may have been some hardware changes throughout the years. What Spyder model / year do you have? Yeah.. that factory thread lock is no joke.

[@matthewscheuer6739]

@@Slingmods 2020 Spyder F3 S. 7mm fit perfectly. I searched and found it on a few forums where people were talking about the size hex key needed and the difficulty removing them. A breaker bar and the right key made it easy

[@Slingmods]

@@matthewscheuer6739 Thanks for sharing Matthew!

[@fletchlivesdaily348]

Just got it in. Looks great, but is not charging....

[@Slingmods]

Hey Fletch, did you for sure hook up the charging unit to both power and ground?

[@gohanlv3ss]

Does this connect to the stereo as well, like the preinstalled USB in the dash?

[@Slingmods]

No it does not.
