Problem
Hi, Sorry if this has already been asked. I followed Harry's suggestion & purchased the XGPS160. I have it connected to my iphone 6 and working via bluetooth (I didn't install the companion app). I purchased the Grand Prix Edition app and installed it. I followed the directions on connection the 160 to the app & it showed up in the sensor list & connected. After powering off the 160, the app will not find the 160. I have verified that the device is connected to my phone & it is. I have tried shutting down the app & reopening, tried rebooting the phone & device, nothing I do seems to work, I even tried turning off the GPS on the phone to the app in settings, nothing...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Greg

Re: Problem
Please restart the phone so the Bluetooth stack is reset. Unpair / Re-Pair the Dual. Send LapTimer to background and foreground it again to trigger a new sensor detection. I assume this is some setting issue, I'm not aware of a general issue.
Question: what OS version is this? The BT/Battery icon in the top right looks different to what I see.

Re: Problem
Hi Harry,
I am using IOS ver. 9.2 It just updated the other night.
Ok, I did what you asked & it did reconnect to the 160 however, when I turned the 160 off & back on, the app never saw the 160 again even though my bluetooth did reconnect.
Do you think this this an issue with the latest IOS update?

Re: Problem
No, I have the same combination and see no issues. You can trigger a new connection attempt by pressing the home button while in LapTimer (back to springboard) and press the LapTimer icon to pull it forward again.
Any idea why you have a second battery symbol next to the Bluetooth icon in the top right? Any tool installed?

Re: Problem
Yeah, I tried that too...
It's my bluetooth headset.

Re: Problem
Try removing it? Maybe some type of conflict? Just a wild guess, multiple BT devices should actually be no issue. And please make sure accessories are enabled (as expected): LapTimer ‣ Administration ‣ Settings ‣ Expert Settings ‣ Accessory Tweaks / Use Accessories ‣ ON

Re: Problem
Yeah, I disconnected the BT headset & it connected. I'll let you know if I have the same problem again.

Re: Problem
iOS may think that the XGPS160 is also a headset and won't connect two. IIRC, I've seen 'bluetooth headseat' during the pairing process before it recognizes the specific device.
Re: Problem
I have seen this too but thought it was a kind of default before the actual device type is identified.

Re: Problem
So, after more experimenting today, I realized that I can't have any other BT device connected, even my radar detector.
I had it connected to the 160, turned back on my radar & it lost communication from the app.
