Garmin Connect crashes when pairing

I am trying to pair a GPSMAP 66s to Garmin Connect on my iPhone.

I can 'Select an Accessory' on the iPhone. But when the 'Allow connection from: [iPhone name]' window appears on the GPSMAP 66 and I click 'OK', Garmin Connect on the iPhone crashes.

This simple task is really irritating.

And yes: I am running the latest firmware on the GPSMAP 66s, and I have deleted and re-downloaded Garmin Connect on the iPhone.

I have solved the problem.

Before commencing pairing, go to Settings / Bluetooth on the iPhone and click the blue text that says "Allow New Connections".

Then commence pairing.

This Garmin Connect Mobile iOS forum is more for fitness devices (running, cycling), and it is unlikely that Garmin staff will respond here. I suggest contacting Garmin directly via phone, chat, or email using the Garmin Support Center.

Assuming you've already gone through the steps outlined here: Pairing a Compatible GPSMAP with the Garmin Connect App
