Minn Kota micro remote

I have a Minn Kota riptide with I pilot link. The charging port went out on my original remote and I purchased a micro remote. When the new remote pairs it should beep three times. My unit beeped four times and when I try to cut on the motor with the remote it continually beeps until I release the button and will not cut on the motor. Does anyone know what could be the problem or what I need to do to sync it correctly. Thanks

Did you get the right micro? They have one for both the Bluetooth and Legacy? Not sure if they are compatible.

I did. I purchased the one for pre 2017 which isn’t Bluetooth compatible. I have a 2014 model Mk I am going to call minn Kota service today to see if they can guide me through it.

I bought a new bluetooth remote a few months ago and had a heck of a time getting it to pair up. Dont remember how many beeps I was getting, but it kept saying "no motor". Then on the 10th or 50th try it said paired.

I can't help with the pairing problem, my Micro worked on the first try.

I can say that I'm very happy with the smaller remote I bought for my Bluetooth Terrova 80. It does everything I need to do and is sooooo much smaller, lighter, and easier to use. :thumbup:

I spoke with Minn Kota service today and it seems to be a low voltage. Time to replace the batteries I guess. Thanks for the help.
