Iphone 5c connection to a PM3

Post by Larry Price » December 4th, 2013, 2:24 am

Has anyone gotten the new Iphone 5c to work with a PM3? I have the adaptor, the connection kit from C2. Firmware is 108, Hardware version is 450 and the serial number starts at 3001. All I get is please connect to the PM3 when I launch the erg app. I have tried several lightning to 30 pin adaptors, but the phone never sees the PM3. Not sure what to look at next....

That says use an expensive (aka over priced) Apple lightening to 30pin adapter.

Success! the official Apple 30pin adaptor works. Now if the app would behave itself then I could be happy with it. Any time I get a text or ping, the app halts, freezes. All rowing data is then lost. :o I was doing a 10k, perhaps that is the issue. Last night I did 2 5k's with a 5 min break in between. No problems. Have to check it out some more.
