Hi John,

I have a PowerPod v3, will this work with the new wireless functions? I have connected today my pod to the latest Velocomp Aero but got no FW11 update notice. My PowePod is on FW 10.05.

This looks a very useful update, hope to be able to use it. Thanks.

Launch Velocomp Aero. You may see a message stating that VA update is available; if so, update VA to version 1.0.40. Do NOT attempt any firmware upgrade until you have installed VA 1.0.40

After updating VA you can confirm that you have version 1.0.40 by using "About Velocomp Aero"

You should then get a message to update to FW 11.

Once FW 11 is installed you will have limited Wireless functionality; everything except ride downloads and firmware uploads.

For full wireless functionality you will need to trade in to one of our wireless models.

Only after updating Aero to 1.0.41 I could see the update to FW 11 - wanted to say something else, for the first time, after a ride, Aero reported there was no ride to save from the device - power was recorded on my Garmin device though. I hope it was a one of only, I will keep you posted in case this issue is repeated.

All the best

Did you see power data during your ride?

Also, when you click the download icon, make sure your memory is not full.

I'm honestly surprised that nobody tapped into that yet...

I'm not particularly in need of another pitot tube, thankfully, but until I can get myself a new "desktop" or laptop running Windows I'll likely not be able to know how bad my situation is. To put it succinctly, I'm rather sure my unit won't qualify for the upgrade program—but I won't know for sure what the problem is until I can connect it to something running the "host" software. (Additionally, I see you're out of "fresh" ones, as of 2026-05-24, so the upgrade / replace idea is kinda moot for the time being anyway.) If I decide my problem is worth more discussion I'll open a new thread for it.
