How to update the software on the Ski-Doo 10.25” touchscreen display

December 2023

This winter, we want to help you reach your peak of fun – that starts with figuring out touchscreen updates. The Ski-Doo 10.25” color touchscreen snowmobile display offers an ever-growing array of capabilities that elevate your snowmobile adventures – especially when combined with the BRP GO! app. Did you know its features are also designed to make your sled ownership experience easier than ever? One of the ways it does this is letting you update the software in the display anywhere you’ve got an internet connection. Let’s look at how these over-the-air (OTA) updates work.

 

Why should you update the 10.25” Touchscreen Display?

The 10.25” display has Wi-Fi connectivity to connect to your home network or any other wireless internet connection, and update the software running your snowmobile screen.

Just like for your mobile devices, you can update the advanced technology in your display to add new features, interface improvements, security updates and more. With the built-in Wi-Fi capability, you can update your snowmobile display to the latest version from the comfort of your home without going to the dealership.

 

How do I update my Ski-Doo 10.25” Display?

Follow these simple steps to update your display in minutes.

Important information before updating the software of the display

  • Never perform updates while driving the vehicle.

  • With the installation of the OTA update tool (SKU 515179997), the display will be kept on for software updates without turning on the engine (display will light up and stay on until the plug is removed)

  • If you don't have the OTA update tool, your vehicle engine can be turned off, but the display must be kept on

  • Make sure your vehicle has sufficient battery charge. We recommend installing a charger on your vehicle during the process to ensure the battery has enough charge

STEP 1: Connect your display to a Wi-Fi network

a) On the main Applet menu, select “Preferences,” and then “Wi-Fi” from the list on the left.

b) Then select “Add New Network,” find the network you’d like to connect to from the list that appears on screen, and enter the password.

*If no Wi-Fi network is available near the vehicle, you can share your smartphone cellular network by hotspot (here's how to do it for Apple and Android devices). Just note cellular data fees may apply.

*The 10,25'' touchscreen display will only connect to a secured network.

Frequently asked questions

The system will automatically check if a new update is available when the display is connected to an Internet network and the "General" section (in "Parameters") is open.

- Make sure that the network you are using has a connection of 2.4GHz and is secured. The 10.25" display may experience connection issues with 5GHz Wi-Fi networks.
- If no Wi-Fi network is available near the vehicle, you can share your smartphone cellular network by hotspot (here's how to do it for Apple and Android devices). Just note cellular data fees may apply.
- If your hotspot is not working, make sure that your phone's name does not contain an apostrophe (ex: Can-Am's iPhone). This could cause a connection problem with your phone's hotspot. Simply remove the apostrophe of your phone's name in your phone's settings.

To know which software version you have: Go in the Vehicle applet and then in Vehicle Information. You can see the "BRP Software #" there.

You can simply start your vehicle's engine to give more battery voltage.
