My Bosch smartphone holder broke on my 3rd ride & was replaced under warranty.

Pretty much the same here plus the USB cable fails to seat securely in the USB port. The smartphone holder feels cheap and flimsy.

Looks like this is the reason cobi.bike is dead. The development team was diverted to working with the new smart system...

you just buy a nyon kit like so and and change the mount and the remote. depending on how many bikes you ride at once one nyon will jump from bike to bike. you just
need a mount for each bike. https://www.rei.com/product/207105/...9SFhpJzluvZ8T0m1MQwaAjFNEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

my mechanic said the remote for the smart hub is different then the one used on the nyon but one guy here says it works. thats the hard part oi get and its the most expensive part to convert them.
I'm that guy...at least on my Trek Allant 8s, the remotes are the same. The hardest part of the swap was removing the terminals from the new nyon mount so I could use the existing cables. It helps greatly if you remove the plate in the new mount, but note that the screw heads are torx, not allen IIRC.

Jeebus riding with a phone. Does anyone take a break? I’m getting old, maybe that’s why I don’t get the phone in the face every waking hour. Just about hit two college asshats, headsets and face in phones on shared path. Oblivious to any other users... Followed by an idjet on an eBike, face in iPhone. He actually elbowed the college goofs, inadvertently, but there was contact. It could have been nasty. What a strange phenomena.
Riding with a phone? When I had the smartphone hub, I used an old phone with no SIM card, just as a display module. The phone as a display worked fine. It's the cobi.bike app that stinks - bugs that Bosch won't bother to fix. Phones actually make a good display IF the software behind them is decent. cobi.bike flunks the software test.

when I chanced the remote it shows its for the smarthub and and the kiox but not the nyon. no clue why there has to be some difference.
What showed this? Did you try it anyway?
