JEM Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 I was just curious if anyone had downloaded the smart phone app for the new Bluetooth Ulterra and used it yet? How did it work, and what can you do with the app? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rckeat Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 I have used it. It can serve as an additional remote control. But more importantly, it detects the firmware versions currently running on your motor and remote control and makes downloading and upgrading to the newest version a snap. I got a new Terrova for Christmas and apparently they have had a couple of software versions released since I got it. The app detected the version and automatically downloaded the newer version. Pretty slick if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplec Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 Yup as above...it will steer, anchor and adjust speed but haven't used those functions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEM Posted March 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 I just down loaded the app. It will be 6 weeks before I get to pair it with the Ulterra, so I was wondering what it did. I have always bought a spare remote, but it sounds like I can save my money. That is great! One specific question though. Can you deploy and stow the Ulterra using the smart phone app?

rckeat Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 I don't have an Ulterra, so I don't know for sure. But my bet is that it will allow you to do anything the remote will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEM Posted March 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 I just called Minn Kota and asked about the deploy/stow function with the smart phone app. They said it did not have that capability. Shucks...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamecocks2001 Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 Other than the software update capability, I don't see a use for the app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLDXT Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 An app for a trolling motor, who'd a thought. I prefer to have my phone as far away from me as I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
