Upgraded to V3 PP - some setup advice
Posted: Sat Jul 27, 2019 8:36 am
Hi,
Decided to do the upgrade to the V3 which i received today. Awaiting a Pitot tube to arrive from yourselves before I do the changeover from the V2.
Was looking for some advice on how to best do the change over.
I use the PowerPod on three bikes so my V2 has 3 profiles loaded on it. My thoughts on how to do the change over are:-
- Use ISSAC to transfer the existing profiles from my V2 PP to the new V3 PP.
- Doing one bike at time connect the V3 to the sensors on the bike.
- Do a new calibration ride for each bike
I have a few questions.
1 - If I load the existing profiles on to the V3 PP would that mean it will automatically connect to the sensors on the bike that are in the profile?
2 - Once the sensors are recognised I take it I will just need to search and connect the V3 PP to my Garmin 810.
3 - I am assuming if the sensors will automatically connect to the V3 PP without the need to do the manual search. Will I need to do this search anyway to force the calibration ride?
On an unrelated note, the V3 PowerPod appears to have slightly different GoPro tabs to my V2. It won't fit in the existing mount that came with my V2 or the 2 combined Garmin mounts I have (the V2 fits on them). Also it does not fit on the mount supplied with the unit (it is too tight to get the tabs into the mount). My V2 PP also does not fit in the mount supplied with the V3. However, I have a couple of eBay purchased GoPro mounts which the V3 does fit on. I have just ordered another one so I have a mount for each bike.
Have you had any issues with the V3 not fitting the supplied mount.
Finally I have PowerStroke on my existing V2, am I right in thinking that this would have only be transferred over if I had purchased the PP direct from you. Not a big issue as it is not something I use much.
Regards
