• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Replacing ONE Dead Fobo?

One of my three FOBO sensors (rear tire) is apparently dead. I changed the battery on it, but it still won't communicate with my iPad any more.

Does anyone know if it's possible to get just ONE replacement sensor somewhere? The other two are working fine.

Thanks!
 
Newbert, are you SURE it’s dead? When you change a battery, it is very easy to lift the contacts when you are taking the battery out, so when the new battery goes in, it is not touching the contacts. If you press down gently on the contacts while the battery is out, it might just be enough to get it going again (I do this each time I change a battery, along with a Disable/Install)

This. And try putting on a vehilce that runs higher pressure for about 5-10mins and it should "come alive". I had to do this once after changing a battery...
