2022 39GBB and my wireless control panels stopped working, I’ve checked all batteries (good). Any advice/suggestions?
If all of your remote panels stopped working usually two methods solves the problem; you can go into the controls of Spyder and into “wireless switches” and try to reconnect there or you usually a reboot of the G6 (Spyder brain with resettable fuses on front) resolves this and can be done by your battery disconnect switch just turning it off for a few minutes.
Thanks for the assist! I cycled the battery disconnect switch and then re-paired each panel and problem solved. Have a great day.
Great to see another orphan on this community site!
Is there an app for the spyder control panel for iPhone or iPad?
There are but the reviews are mostly bad. After reading them I’ve decided to stay away. There were a few people that loved the app. It’s named Vega Mira, just search the Apple site.
I’m glad to see that we have some action on this forum. I have recently purchased a 2022 41LKB. It’s in storage for now until I finish this seasonal job I am working in Montana for now. I sure I will be needing some help & advice from you folks in the future.
Thanks

Yes there is an app but it requires to you purchase the module from Firefly Integrations to use. They have two different modules the Mira (bluetooth) and Eclipse (bluetooth and wifi) but they are around $600 and $800 respectfully. Easy install just plugs into the Spyder G6 port. The best use case I have found for it is adjusting the temp while in bed, pulling the awnings out while we are at the picnic table or starting the AC just prior to landing. I do use it to check the temps when we are away from the rig and adjust accordingly.
23 models have the Mira built in so no additional cost. They just have to download the Mira app.
If you are tech savy Coach Proxy still exits and is a bit less expensive at around $250 when they pop up for sale but does take some technical ability to implement. However, Coach Proxy is more powerful allowing for integration of other devices such as smart home devices (if that was an interest).
New to this form. We just purchased a 2022 39gbb,our first rv, and I’m having trouble figuring out the control app. Dealer told us you just scan the QR code and connect. Not so easy… I’m going to just try to figure out the Winegard system and allocate my frustration to another project.
Welcome to the group!
There is a module that connects to the control panel (G6) or the RSI-9 that enables the ability for mobile / remote control. Vanleigh didnt start including that module as a standard until the 23 models and then it was because they switched to the G12. Your unit (if preowned) would have a module that most likely comes off of the G6 (resettable fuse panel). I have attached a picture of my Eclipse module on my G6.
The module can be purchased from Firefly Integrations and at last check are $550 for the Mira and $850 for the Eclipse.
If you do have the module there are two apps from Firelfy Integrations called Vegatouch Eclipse and Vegatouch Mira. The Vegatouch Eclipse app connects to the Eclipse module that is both bluetooth and wifi capable while the Mira connects to those modules that are just bluetooth. If you are having issues connecting (assuming there is a module in place) the best course of action is to press and hold the reset button on the module. This has resolved my connection issues in the past.
Thank you so much for the information. I’ll check that today.
Has anyone found a cheaper option? I checked the website, very expensive.
I recently contacted Firefly and the pricing seems to have increased some. It’s now -
Mira – local Bluetooth only - $850 + shipping
Eclipse – allows remote connection - $950 + shipping
Their website also mentioned a subscription fee for the Eclipse, but the person I asked about it said it doesn’t require a subscription at this time but may in the future.
@RyanB has mentioned the CoachProxy option which is considerably less, around $200-300, but does require some technical skill to put together compared to the plug and play of the Firefly options.

Ryan,
My coworker just upgraded to the wifi module on his Tiffin 401p. He brought me in his BT module and cable to try out. Is it as simple as plugging it in as shown in the photo? I know how to turn on MIRA in the touch screen. He brought me the non ethernet BT MIRA module and the orange cord.
Hey Shawn - That is good kind of friend to have!
When I bought my Eclipse module (wifi) in 2021 for my 21 Beacon Firefly sent me a thumb drive to update my G6 before plugging it in. I didnt have the option in my screen to turn it on either before or after the upgrade. I didnt try it without the upgrade but since then I have seen those devices be resold over and again and owners plugging them in with success.
If you already have the option to turn it on - I would reset the Mira using a paperclip to reset the PIN, download the MIRA app and plug the device in. I am betting you will have success. Let us know how it works.

we ended up trading even for the module.
Our 2022 320gk has the option in settings
I called firefly and he said its plug n play. I just need to turn it on. I have saw the option in there and played with it. But obviously no module so it didnt do anything.
@RyanB I reset the module. Got the mira app turned on. I connected reset pin and it couldnt automatically detect my rig.
i called firefly tech support. He gave me the manufacturer code 782832 i entered that and it brought up options for v1 v2 v3 v4 v5. He told
Me to use v4 it didnt work correctly.
I clicked on v3 selected 320 it loaded. All the light controls work correctly but missing sconce and closet lights.
All other options worked.
Except the app controls the incorrect ac units.
Maybe i need an update or maybe the module is in correct for my rig?
I dont think the module could be incorrect - they use the Mira and Eclipse interchangeably across all installations. I was in a Brinkley G series today and they use the same Mira module that came standard on the 23 Vanleigh units. I am sure if that device hasnt already updated it is needed but likely not going to correct those things that seem amiss. My Eclipse module seemed to require an update often.
My 21 34RLB closet lights were only turned on with a physical switch built into the light and the same as the sconce light in the living room. I would venture to guess that if your 320 has firefly switches for those that it was not updated in the Spyder in that model year.
As you have experienced the guys over at Spyder are extremely helpful I think I would hit them up on the AC swap issue.
These are all things I didnt experience with the install of my module. They gave me a thumbdrive that I placed in the back of the screen and went through a couple of prompts to load it and it was off to the races. They did give me this link to a youtube video to use as a reference during my “install” but was not relevant. They package they gave me must have had all of the options configured for my device.
I sent an email to support at firefly. Explained what all
I have done. Sent photos. Ill see if they have any solutions.

@RyanB Firefly emailed me back. After looking at all the photos I provided of my spyder touch screen settings. They said I need to update my spyder software to a newer version. They provided the software update files at no charge along with instructions.
Shawn - Thats good news. Glad those guys over at Spyder are getting it taken care of. Thanks for the update.
