Fenix 5 linking to bluetooth smart cadence and speed sensor

Former Member over 8 years ago

Hi Everyone

Seem to be having problems with this.

I've got a Runtastic Cadence and Speed bluetooth Smart sensor that works fine with my iPhone (iCardio) but can't seem to get working properly with the Fenix 5.

The F5 will find it when I search, but then it won't actually connect to it and says connection failed. Anyone else had any problems?

This is the sensor - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Runtastic-Cadence-Application-Smartphone-Compatible/dp/B00BVY4HCG

Yes, I have a Topeak Panobike BTLE Speed and Cadence Sensor, and am finding the exact same thing - the watch detects the sensor, but doesn't display any speed or cadence data. The frustrating thing is that it worked fine under the original firmware (2.90 I think), but has stopped working as soon as 3.2 installed. I tried rolling back to 2.90, but that didn't fix it.
