Happy and contented with my vintage Spyder

[NKD]

Hahaha, I know a 2012 one isn't too vintage but you know what I mean. It's still over a decade old. I've just been reading a lot of issues with the newer models, particularly on the radio systems. Makes me feel glad I am not thinking of upgrading anytime soon for preference and not for budgetary reasons. I'm pretty old skool as they call it as mine doesn't have a radio nor a gps. I don't even have a mount for my cell right there.

lol sometimes less tech is actually more peace of mind, some of these older setups might not have the bells and whistles, but they tend to just work, and keep working, like no screens freezing, no firmware glitches, no dealing with updates just to get your music going.

Haha, I'm right there with you. I've got a 2010 Rhino too, and it's as bare-bones as they come, no radio, no screen, no GPS. Just the roar of the engine and the open trails. A friend of mine decided to upgrade to a newer model last year, and he's already had to replace his head unit three times under warranty. You know what? Sometimes keeping it simple really is the way to go.

These kinds oftreads are something that a fresh spyder owner doesn't want to stumble across. All jokes aside, what kind of radio problems do the newer models have?

@ThreeWh33lLife Yep, simple is good. Less stuff usually means less to break, and things tend to last longer that way
