Pm3 to PM5 is it as easy at plugging in new unit

[Pompeymonkey]

Hi I have a concept 2 not used for a few years and wondered if there is an app I can use it with and my heart monitor I use with Zwift @ the Mo my head unit is a PM3 - can I just buy a PM5 head plug it in and hey presto *** or is it not that easy ?

It is that easy.

Just be aware of the monitor arm.

There is a new monitor arm for the PM5, because the connection for pickup-cable has moved from the right side to the left. You can buy the PM5 and the new arm together in an upgrade kit.

However, as far as I know, you can use the old arm if you arrange the cable differently. I am probably going to try this out myself, because the PM5 arm from my upgrade kit is softer than my old PM3 arm, and I am a annoyed by looking at a slightly dangling PM5.

You don't need a new monitor arm to physically mount the PM5 on a PM3/4 arm.

The only difference between the arms is a hole in the plastic web of the arm that allows you to take the tach cable from the right side to the left side to make it "Tidy" but its not necessary and you can also just drill a hole big enough yourself.
