You need to contact Tacx/Garmin support.

I have the tacx neo 2t and haven’t had that problem. I would also contact support if I were you.

Same here with the Neo 2t on Apple TV. It’s been crazy bad since last updates from last Friday. :frowning: :frowning: Not sure it’s a Tacx problem though…

However I was trying to connect to Apple TV via the companion app. No go. Tried directly on the iPhone and wasn’t a problem. As I suspected, it’s not a Tacx problem. My money’s on the ZC app.

Hi did you able to aolve your issue? i just got exactly same issue. While riding, suddenly resistance went dead, no lights and just fan whirring.

It’s dead, you need a warranty replacement. If you’re no longer under warranty, there are various folks that will repair it for you for a lot less than Garmin.

This was my life last night with a neo 1. Turned it all on and whirring power for the fan but no Bluetooth - I only realised about a minute in on a small hill that felt way too easy. Read all the replies around the web saying it’s dead, but then thought I’d try it through my iMac and the ant+ Dongle I have incase it was a Bluetooth issue (usually use an iPad).

All connected up on ant +, so I unplugged and used the iPad. All fine and Bluetooth working as it should be. So, for me, connecting to ant+, disconnecting and then trying with Bluetooth again fixed it and I got my ride in. Seems to be a lot of issues with this of late!

I had the same problem today took it in garmin and they will call tacx to know what they can do. If it’s the drive unit is half the value of the trainer. Unbelievable! these equipments should have a 10 year warranty for how easily they can het screwed up! Imm so pissed. I’ll post followups on this matter…

Problem solved unplugging for longer time. They connected it back and worked. Better

Hi Samuele, how long did you wait to retry? This just happened to me this morning not even 10 minutes into a ride

So Miceal, it happened few times. Last time i sent it to assistance and came nack with the answer it’s only the BT light not working and i tried and worked. But don’t move it when plugged, i noticed it’s sensible to that and connection can trip off. Few hours usually restore it.
I know very empiric, i personally hate this brand and the way they build their tools to stop working after a while. It should be possible to change every single piece instead of the whole board when something small breaks.
Best of luck

And who are these people do you know? Just in case :sweat_smile:

Here’s one
