My Friend Looking to Buy Can Am BUT!

He was very serious. Rode them, arrived at a price could only ride one model since his legs are too long BUT, no CB, ( he was told NOBODY uses CB's anymore) no way to use his ipod or sat radio. The model he wanted didn't even have a 3.5 or usb connection. Others did.

Any ideas on how to solve these issues. He loves the bike, but as far as technology availability the bike is way behind the curve. They suggested he buy a "Doogle" but admitted that would not solve all his issue. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

I had the same problem, came from a late model BMW with bluetooth and sat radio to a 2012 Spyder.

Check with motorcyledave.com. He is familiar with the problems and can recommend ways to solve them. He is great to talk with.

+1 on motorcycledave.com or (209)887 Dave or (209) 887 3283. You will probably need a bluetooth head set,an sr10 bluetooth dongle that comes with a PTT (you can't use the one on the Spyder unless you buy their whole schmear) and a handheld CD. Most of us use a Midland. And some way to mount it.

Sierra electronics has solution for it all. J&M Corp has CB, Bluetooth, headsets. Been using all these items on different bikes for years with excellent results.

I know the 2014 and up RT and F3L has CB option. Up to 2015 RT has ipod 30 pin connector. 2016 up has USB connections. 2018 up has all new bluetooth screen for headset intercom, phone, maps etc. It uses brp connect app.
