Fenix 5 Plus Series - 11.74 Public Beta

Hello Fenix 5/5S/5X Plus users,

We have new beta software ready for your upcoming adventures!

Note: Please allow for the updates to propagate across all servers. There is no need to post that the link does not work. It will after a bit of patience.

Please note: In the 11.73 beta release, we provided ANT/BLE version 6.03. However, we have identified an issue with this software that can cause disconnection issues to the paired phone or external sensors/headphones. We have pulled this peripheral software back. In the included folders for v11.74, you will find the file needed to backdate your ANT/BLE software from 6.03 to 5.04. The instructions for installation provided on the above links remain the same, no additional steps are needed for installing the backdate file.

11.74 Change Log Notes:

Fixed an issue with Powerbeats Pro audio control.
Fixed an issue where turn direction labels could be intermittently blank while navigating.

Please note, the beta updates released on these forums are not suitable for APAC region devices.

Please send all bug reports to outdoor[email protected], and indicate which model of the fenix 5 Plus series you have in the subject line.

I wonder if it's after I wrote this exactly on Garmin's support! However, thank you for the possibility to downgrade this driver.

Just tried the update with my Powerbeats Pro but couldn't get the volume control on the headphones to work. Removed the original bluetooth connection and re-added but still nothing. Not too sure if there is something else I need to do?

I believe it was the ANT/BLE 6.03 that contained the fix for that. As they’ve had to revert back to ANT/BLE 5.04 (red text in the first post) the fix for Powerbeats Pro is likely lost until the next ANT/BLE version (above 6.03) is released.
