    Default FOBO Trike

    Has anyone experienced problems with their Fobo Trike app for iPhone since upgrading to EITHER IOS 11.0.2 OR FoboTrike app version 2.16?
    Specifically, not syncing.

    TIA

    Hope you mean 11.0.2
    Did you happen see if the app is syncing and giving updates?

    I upgraded my 6s to 11.0.2 last night, Paladin. I started the app in the kitchen where it was “disconnected”, and just wandered out toward the garage about 60’ away, and it started synching with the F3 on the way there. By the time I reached the internal garage door, all tyres and my air bag were synced. I didn’t even know Bluetooth would sync that far away.

    Thanks Pete
    Something is up cause I tried with my wife's iPhone using 11.0.2 and Fobo app 12.6 and it didnt work either.
    The chances of ALL probes dying the same time is like NILL
    Well guess it's time to call Fobo

    I’m running FOBO Bike vers. 2.16 (I assume that’s what you meant to type above) as well, AJ. Very odd !

    I had a few wheels not wanting to sync and just changed the battery out and they worked even after it showed the battery was still good. It also has a .2 pound error on all the tires. when I remove them they show a .2 pounds of air in the fobo app. There is something wrong and I suspect it has to do with the temp reading affecting it. On my app I also have my wifes Harley.

    Thanks to all!

    Well, I'm at a complete loss, because today I went out to give the setup one last try before going completely bonkers

    AND

    When I loaded the app everything was there like it never was a problem!!!!
    Not even going to try to figure this one out, but the only thing I can think of is that I was receiving some BT interference from source somewhere.
    So for the moment everything back to NORMAL?

    Good news, AJ.......I have noticed a couple of times that synching takes significantly longer, for reasons I have never discovered.

    Changed batteries the other day on one of my spyder's FOBO's and it wouldn't sync back up to the tire. I did everything I could think of but still no sync. Finally out of frustration I put the FOBO on my truck tire stem just to see what would happen. I'm running 65 psi in my truck tires. As I screwed on the FOBO to the stem I heard a "pssss..pop" sound and the FOBO came on and sync'd up showing 65 psi. I took it off and placed back on my spyder and it worked just fine and is still working. Don't ask me why, I'm not that smart, but it worked.

    I had the same experience when I updated to the X model.
    Finally decided to test the batteries.
    All THREE were DEAD!
    Who would have thought all three would die the same time? But they did!
    So if you have not yet and are able to, check the batteries.

    Default FOBO Problem

    My rear tire monitor was not showing up, so I replaced the battery. Wouldn't recognize, so I took it out of the system, now I have to reinstall. Not done yet, hope this does it. Before, when I would touch the phone to the sensor it would just sit there spinning. Saying Wait.
