Bt module stopped working

Hi,
I tried to use the bt module on my second spirit. Bluetooth finds the Spirit but if I connect with the software it says it can't find spirit data. Are the dongles protected to only work with one unit? Strange thing is it stopped working on my first unit as well.

And a quick question, is the sys port ground shared, thus can it be used for ground of a rpm sensor?

Did you check if the plug in then SYS port is plugged in correctly, or is it reversed? Happened to me.

I guess that you are powering the module from a different power source than the unit.
This can be reason for described behavior. You have to also connect grounds between these sources.

Thanks for the info.
Are you sure that the SYS cable is oriented correctly?
Do you remember if there was some update before the issue occured for the first time?
