recently signed up with google fi and got the Nexus 5x. So far it's bluetooth can be finicky finding new devices. it took a while to pair with my Jam plus speaker, but my headphones and blutooth aux jack dongle paired fairly easily. plus it "remembers" the connection.

I'm worried that if i get the FP3 i'll have wasted money if it doesn't pair. Anyone give a yay or nay as to pairing the two?

 

I can't imagine that you would have a problem connecting to it. I've been using the nexus 5x since it came out and haven't had a device that won't connect to it.

 

So I am using a Note 5 and I also have some Bluetooth problems with some devices. I also have the FP3 and it will cut in and out of Bluetooth connection every once in a while if I am riding. While the bike is standing still the connection is solid. This also happens with my wireless headphones while on the bike.... I am not sure if it has something to do with the harmonics of the engine that interrupts the Bluetooth signal.

 

Thanks for the feedback guys. i recently added a bluetooth dongle to my bike so i can keep my phone in a pocket or pack and still have music. it stays connected well so far. the fp3 i still one of the cheaper options so i may be rolling the dice here soon. i will update with results.

also found a couple of threads on here that say the chip for iphones burns out easily on fp3. i'm using android, so not a big deal. v&h has also popped into the threads and been very helpful and reassuring should anything go wrong. top notch support it seems.

 

Update: I had to try and sync it a couple of times, but it did sync. sometimes the app has trouble applying learned values, but it does it you keep trying. app is on it's way to being very good.

 

You got a Bluetooth dongle for the bike??? can you reference where and what you got??

 

I found it at best buy it's called aluratec I think. Here's the linkhttp://www.bestbuy.com/site/searchpa...etooth+adapter 12 hour charge. Get a bit of Velcro to hold it on the fairing and it works like a charm. I also have a cigarette lighter adapter so I can charge the dongle and my phone on the road. Endless battery life if you don't mind a couple cords
