D2 PX does no longer connect to Garmin Pilot

My D2 Delta PX watch does not connect to my Android Garmin Pilot. It connects just fine via Bluetooth at any other time which can be verified on Garmin Connect. When I start Garmin Pilot on my smartphone it is initially still connected. But when I start Connext from Garmin Pilot, the watch disconnects. It is nor longer connected to Garmin Connect. It then asks to pair again from the smartphone’s Bluetooth setting. When I do that I get a message “Connext active – Pairing disabled”. I tired everything restetting each device, turning Bluetooth on and off, changing the Connext setting on theD2 in every possible combination – no luck. When I am done with the Fly activity on the D2 and shut off Garmin Pilot on the smartphone the watch connects automatically again without a problem.

Do you have your watch paired to multiple devices? Although you can have your watch paired to multiple devices with Garmin Connect Mobile I've noticed that that seems to cause issues with Garmin Pilot, in that the watch will only talk to one device at a time, so I need to turn Bluetooth off on my phone so that I can use Connext on my tablet in the plane.

No the D2 is not connected to anything else. Not even to Garmin Connect. When I try to pair is says on the watch "Connext active - Pairing Disabled".

Odd. I would try to unpair it (if possible), remove it from your phone's Bluetooth list and try reconnecting it to Garmin Connect again. If that doesn't work, then I'd call Aviation Support and talk to the portable/wearable team -- they should be able to walk you through other ways to solve whatever crazy loop of pairing death that you're in.

"crazy loop of pairing death" I think that's it. The D2 isn't even on the list of connected Bluetooth devices - how can I possibly remove it? I turned the "phone" connection off on the watch. That doesn't help either.
