    Default Fobo

    Hi well it seems I screwed up ,
    Im one of those seat of the pants guy's that can figure almost anything out with out reading the manual.
    Not this time my fobo sensors worked great after I installed them last year so after a winter sleep they didn't want to respond . So I replaced the batteries two of the three worked the left front wouldn't sync with the app.
    On the app I saw dissable /install except if I would have looked closer it said new sensors.
    So with no luck re-activating then I found the manual which states the sensors will no longer function and you have to buy new ones so this really stinks .
    I'm really upset because all it should be is a software change to re-install them since it was a software message to dissable them .
    Not sure if anyone knows a fix, can't justify another 150$ for another set.

    Did you call them? I understand they are very easy to talk to.

    How old would you be if you didn't know how old you were?

    Yup, and some have had good luck with simply putting them on another vehicle (car or truck) for a few minutes to reset the sensor to a different pressure then putting them back on the byke. But you first have to get them properly installed within the Fobo app.

    That's what I did with one of mine that wouldn't sync up. Put it on my truck tire at 60 psi and heard a soft pop sound come from the FOBO. Took it off and put it back on my spyder tire and it sync'ed right up and is working perfectly.

    Default All good in the neighborhood

    woooooohooooooo well they are now up and running .
    I had also sent an email to support at Fobo and they contacted me right away. They asked what phone and software version I was using and the error message that was on the screen, sent them my info .
    Took the sensors off the spyder put them on my pickup and used my iPod as they told me my android phone might be the issue and it was the iPod worked like a charm . Fobo support was awesome no run around , quick response a true pleasure to work with.
    I want to thank everyone for there help . Now Happy in CT.
