Mounster 0 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Has anyone experienced any issues whilst wearing a fitbit watch in their cars as I have , since getting one for Christmas on the 2 occasions that I have worn the watch the car has refused to start stating that I needed to put the car into PARK when it was already in PARK...is this a glitch that can be sorted or should I just stop wearing the watch in the car. Any ideas would be helpful Quote Link to post Share on other sites
royoftherovers 2,495 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Did the instructions you received with the watch, give you any clues David ? https://community.fitbit.com/t5/Ionic/Bluetooth-interference-with-other-devices/td-p/2739570 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NemesisUK 1,628 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I can't imagine the watch and the car problem are related. The control systems in the car are all hard wired, the Bluetooth power in the watch is not going to be anywhere near strong enough to interfere with the car's primary systems. I can't see any electromagnetic radiation emanating from the watch could be strong enough to disrupt systems that normally operate in what is a very 'dirty' environment. Had you said you had problems with the phone connectivity or Bluetooth audio, maybe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ColinBarber 2,115 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Sounds more like you have a partially flat 12v Battery which is giving you these spurious warnings, and the Fitbit is a coincidence. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
