The Spektrum Dashboard mobile application allows drivers to view everything from speed, motor or engine temperature, battery voltage and more. And now with Spektrum Smart Technology integration, it is easier than ever before to get valuable telemetry data, right at your fingertips, with no additional wires or sensors. Installation tip: Upon initial pairing with the installed Spektrum Bluetooth module, the application will update the transmitter firmware which enables the transmitter to receive telemetry data from the onboard telemetry receiver or telemetry module. Please do not close the application or power off the transmitter during the update process. The Dashboard application will not function until the transmitter is updated. Note: To fully utilize the Spektrum Dashboard application, you must own the following items: - A DX3 Smart Transmitter - A Bluetooth Module (SPMBT2000 – BT2000 DX3 Bluetooth Module) - Smart Capable Receiver with Spektrum Smart Firma ESC and Spektrum Smart Battery - OR a Spektrum DSMR telemetry equipped receiver - We also recommend using a phone mount for your DX3 Smart (SPM9070)
