Instructions very basic in leaflet.
It imply that you need to search for the 123 in setting on Bluetooth. It never found it, but on opening app it connected. Wasted 30 mins trying to find it through settings on various devices. Make it clear that you can see the 123 from just opening app.
Does not detail anywhere that you can press and hold a new timing entry to then move it to a new position.
Every time you flick to another app or programme it seems to disconnect from the 123. Not helpful.
Especially when the advice on how To record a curve is to screen shot it, so switching between the app and the taken screen shot, means the 123 disconnects every time you view the screen shot in photos. Not clever in real world whilst on Dyno.
When driving with 123 app dashboard active, take a call. Finish call. GPS speedo no longer works.
Number signal of 'tuned' adjustment needs to be displayed, not just on live dial. When on a Dyno run and making adjustments on the Dyno, it's VERY difficult to make a not of the number you finally settled on at a given rev range.
Still haven't figured out how to load a 2nd curve.....seems no instructions on how to do this. And nothing in the leaflet.
Old 123 was loaded with about 16 curves to choose from. The blue tooth version appears only to have one !!!!
Ability to create curves 'offline' and then upload them when connected later would be good.
When purchasing one of these and having it fitted at a Dyno, where you are paying for the Dyno by the hour, with the above problems, and delays meant it was a very expensive Dyno session. My guy normally installs and Dyno sets up a standard 123 in 2 hours max. This took us 4 hours !!!! So 50% more of the price of the 123+ tune !!.
Overall happy with the results. But all the Bluetooth specific elements and the customer experience is a bit painful.
Please take This as constructive feedback to improve what is good.
Hi,
Many thanks for the feedback.
We will try to make the first connection procedure a little bit easier to understand.
Indeed you have to go to the settings tab and select the device you like to connect.
Maybe this is a little bit confusing now.
You can not move points by sliding on the screen, this is not so easy on a small smartphone screen.
I was informed it is not possible to keep Bluetooth low energy connections alive in background.
You're right it is much better when the connection stays at least a couple of minutes in background.
I will do some research what is possible.
You can simply see the adjustment by pushing the TUNE button on and off. For example: on idle the advance timing is 10 degrees, then you push the tune button and the adjustment will go back to the last value. So you see now 14 degrees, in this case you know the adjustment is 4 degrees.
Because it is quite easy to change curves with your smartphone we have decided to work with a single curve.
This is much easier for most users, and saves us a lot space inside the tiny ignition body to place the electronics.
We will probably upgrade the app so you are able to create offline curves and save them locally on your phone.
In the future there will also be an option to share curves.
Maybe a good idea to first install the unit and get some experience before you go to a Dyno session.
Best regards,
