Afraid I can’t offer any help except to say my Bushido works fine.

Maybe try taking the batteries out of the pedals&nbsp;and check for anything else that might be interfering…

There are two Tacx Bushido’s - a smart and non smart.

Tacx Bushido Smart T2780

Tacx Bushido T1980 (old one)

Which one do you have?

Hello,&nbsp;

is the problem solved? I have a Tacx Bushido Smart T2780 and try to connect the bushido as controllable trainer via the Zwift Mobile Link and bluethooth. The handy did find the bushido and connects it. But in swift only the powermeter and cadence sensor is found, but can’t configure the bushido as controllable trainer, because zwift doesn’t found. Or is the resistance control via &nbsp;bluethooth not possible? Is the ANT+ dongle needed?

Thanks for help. &nbsp;

Hi I have the same problem, only once did it recognize my Bushido as a controllable trainer. This sucks.&nbsp;
