Connecting ErgData to your Concept2 PM5 using Bluetooth

This video will walk you through the steps to connect your Concept2 PM5 to ErgData wirelessly, using Bluetooth. These instructions apply to the ErgData app for both Android and iOS devices.

To wirelessly connect your Android or iOS device:

1. From the PM5 Main Menu, select Connect.
2. Note the PM5 number displayed.
3. Launch the ErgData app on your device. (If ErgData displays a screen explaining your connection options, click OK to close it.)
4. In ErgData, click the gear icon, then:
-- iOS—Select Bluetooth Smart PM5 Interface and toggle it on.
-- Android—Under Bluetooth, select PM5 and toggle it on.
5. When ErgData displays a list of PM5s, select the PM5 number that matches the number displayed on the PM5 (from step 2).
6. Return to the main ErgData screen and begin your workout.

When your workout is over and you've finished using ErgData, we recommend that you manually disconnect your device from the PM5 by doing one of the following:

1. Turn the PM5 off by pressing the Menu button four times in a row.
2. From the PM5 Main Menu, go to Connect, then Disconnect App.

Please put more effort into improving the app. PM5-to-Ergdata sync is totally missing.

Why does the Ergdata app require location data? Is this absolutely necessary?

the phone holder always messes with the power or vol buttons on my phone.... think i`ll make some sort of spacer.

Does this allowed you to get the Garmin working and having good HR, Stroke etc… logged in the garmin connect app?

[fireballbea]

Does this work with BikeErg, rower and Ski?

I am having problems with HR monitor dropping ....can i ask of those using ergdata app do you set up the workout on the app then transfer it to the pm5 ? Ive been linking my HR monitor to pm5 and then when i upload the workout plan it appears to forget the HR monitor ...i prefer to look at the PM5 during the workout than the info on the app

Can you use a heart rate monitor with the PM5 when connected to the phone?

Updated to the latest firmware on my PM5 and the ergdata app still cannot see the PM5 to make a connection. My phone can see it in the bluetooth menu, but the app does not. (I did not connect to the PM5 from the bluetooth menu as I know that causes issues)

Why on earth does the app need to use location? That is completely unnecessary for this software to operate
