According to Zwift, if my Bkool trainer is older that August 2014, I need to update firmware to ANT+ FE-C. My Bkool Classic was purchased on July 2014, so in principle it should be one of the last ones without FE-C. However, the Bkool Toolkit cannot find it (which makes sense, since it doesn't support Bluetooth). How then I'm supposed to update its firmware? Can it be updated from my laptop connected via ANT+?

Why won't it update beyond 3.16? Why can't I update my Pro to 3.25? Seems you abandoned those of us who bought in to your products. Where can I find a firmware update file? Anyone?

Starts and freezes. Useless as this indoor trainer that has to be activated every time I want to use it.

I have two Connect Sport trainers (one black the other the white version) and the app can't find either. Consequently I can't upgrade the firmware to make the trainers work with Zwift. Bkool, can you help please?

I'm unable to find my BKool Smart Pro with the app. Can connect with the Simulator app but no option to update firmware through it and my computer is too low spec to run the Windows version. Would like to be able to update Firmware to be able to connect to other apps and enjoy a better experience.

I've downloaded this application to check my BKool smart pro firmware but the app does not detect anything even with an Ant+ extension right next to the unit. Not able to update the firmware either and BKool support is non responsive/existing. No indication on the website on how to upgrade the unit either... poor very poor

App does not update Bkool Pro firmware. Reads that it sees my trainer but will not update. For months now the trainer has been almost impossible to use huge power drops.

Updated my smart go no probs. It was putting much lower watt output on zwift and with update it seems to be more accurate. Thanks
