Shame about the running dynamics. Are you using a hrm-run or tri version 4? From what I've read on these forums the guys that have earlier versions don't seem to have any issues.

I've just ordered a FR 935. Can pick it up tomorrow. I am done with the F5.

Yes, I am using a HRM-Run v4 (the red one).

I returned my f5 for the running dynamics issue and ordered a new one, its due to arrive today. In all likelihood I think it'll exhibit the same issue. I may well just return it and get a 935 also.

And then you will face other problems.

"Oh, I had a flat tire. Damn car, I'm trading it in for a different model, I'm tired of these flat tires."

A flat tyre can be repaired, the worry is this is more like "damn, the engine management system has gone"

How certain can we be firmware will fix this? For me regular sensor dropouts is a deal breaker

"Glad I traded it in for a model with proper tires, at least these don't go flat when driving over any bump... Sure, the color of the car is different and I preferred the other color but I sure can live with that. Can't live with my tires going flat at any random moment though".

So I'm hit... I updated before the issue was identified. I hope a fix will be possible. If not - then what?

Edit: Send an email asking what to do if no if fix? I'll post the reply once the solution is known...

Just got a reply the beta team, that they are working on a fix for this week. It may require some extra steps installing it, but there will be a thorough explanation to guide you.

Let's what comes up... ;-)

Did you try to clear mirrors ?
