Sorry man never really worked for me either than again i put it on a motor bike so speed might have been the issue but other than that im not sure sorry

Unless the computer is faulty, the most likely cause is the alignment of the magnet and transmitter mounted on the front wheel and fork. Make sure the magnet mounted to the spokes cycles past the transmitter as the wheel turns. The magnet should come within 1mm of the transmitter, but not touch it. Another thing to check is the wheel size input. Hope this helps.

It might be bad battery. I couldn't make speedometer work with included battery, but when I installed new Li-Ion battery in transmitter, it started to work right away! Schwinn included bad battery, that was it.

you should tilt the part on the fork closer to the magnet I did that then while riding with a friend to clock the miles I move the magnet in little bits up and down till we got close on the miles

In my experience with this speedometer, the range was EXTREMELY limited, probably less than two feet. Try moving the speedometer closer and see if that gives you a better reading?

Thanks from me, also! I had the same problem. Easy fix!I will say that the instruction manual is very vague.

Try holding the screen next to the sensor and spin the wheel. Then put it back on the bars an do it again, this worked for me.

Thanks. The web updater didn't seem to work. Because my parents have the same GPS, I tried it in their receiver and it worked. I realized that the receiver itself was defective. I'm in the process of returning it - I will probably give another one a shot, overall I think it's a nice unit.

Hi, I really dont know whats wrong with it...but I also bought the same boat and it did the same thing...I dont think any of those boats work correctly.

It's a piece of crap! After buying 2 of them I just went to Walmart and got a car stereo and put on the boat. But try installing a fuse block if you don't have one, also make sure you have a good ground. Then when it still won't work go buy a cheap car stereo! �

I had the same problem and what I was told was that it is broken. I had 2 different people look at it. By the time I got a 2nd opinion is was to late to send back. So my suggestion is if its not working send it back immediately

Whenever I have tried to use the tire size setting it causes the speedometer to be be off by a large factor.

You need to make sure it is sync'd to your Garmin device. Look at the instruction manual (also available online) for how to sync the heart rate monitor to your device. If that doesn't work, replace the battery and try again.

I used the Bluetooth to connect for heart rate in cyclometer. It worked fine in the past. I just upgraded to cyclemeter elite a few minutes ago and I can't seem to get my heart rate to show up. I'll keep working on it and let u know.

I am currently trying to get it to work, the software loads fine but I cannot get the computer to recognize the sensor. I sent an email to the manufacturer, will let you know if I get a response.

OK. When you push the needle back on its' axle, place it so it is pointed straight up. When it is pressed onto the axle, then push the needle down toward the "zero" mph mark. It will be close, but may not be exactly accurate. You'll need to learn if your speed is showing fast or slow relative to the speedo needle (one way to check is to drive a steady 60 mph between two mile markers on the highway. It should take you exactly 60 seconds if your speedo is correct). The other alternative is to take the rebuilt cluster to a specialty shop and have them professionally calibrate it.

I am not sure how to fix that. Mine works just fine. You may need to send it back for a replacement unit. Also I didn't have to plug in my GPS sensor.

Zachary,Mine is broken too. I called Garmin and they want me to send the unit in for repair. They want $125. I could just about buy another one for that price. Have you figured out to fix yours? I am still trying to figure out a way to McGiver mine.David Wallace

Mine had the same problem and I couldn't get it to work either. Unless someone else gives you a tip I'd suggest you return it.
