Forerunner 235 can’t sync with Garmin apps on iPhone 6 Plus

Former Member over 5 years ago

Out of a sudden my forerunner 235 can’t sync with Garmin apps on my iPhone 6 +. Already tried turning on and off Bluetooth and turning on and off the 235.

Same for me: I have tried all trouble shooting I could but the app does not find the watch.

Are you having this issue? My iPhone Is Stuck on Pairing Failed in the Garmin Connect App

If that doesn't work, it's more than just turning Bluetooth off and on. See if following these steps helps you out. Do not use iPhone Bluetooth settings to pair. You have to use the Garmin Connect app to establish the Bluetooth connection.

It is possible the device is not paired properly and needs to be re-paired. Follow these steps:

From Garmin Connect Mobile app on your iPhone

Tap "More" >> Garmin Devices >> Select your connected device
Tap 3-dot icon on the upper right >> Remove Device >> Remove
Close the Garmin Connect Mobile app

Go back to the main menu on your iPhone

Open Settings >> Bluetooth
Under "MY DEVICES" tap the "i" icon to the right of your Garmin device
Tap "Forget This Device"
Restart your iPhone
Restart your Garmin device

Open the Garmin Connect Mobile app

Tap the "+" icon in the upper right
Select your watch from the list of Garmin devices
Put your Garmin device in Bluetooth pairing mode. Menu > Settings > Bluetooth > Pair Mobile Device
Tap Start on the app on the iPhone
When prompted with "Bluetooth Pairing Request" enter the PIN (passkey) displayed on your Garmin device
When iPhone displays "Pairing Complete!" tap "Done"
