- In this video Tom goes in-depth to help get RC Drivers and Bashers started with the innovative Spektrum Dashboard mobile app!
The Spektrum Dashboard mobile application allows drivers to view everything from speed, motor or engine temperature, battery voltage and more. And now with Spektrum Smart Technology integration, it is easier than ever before to get valuable telemetry data, right at your fingertips, with no additional wires or sensors.
Simply install the Spektrum Bluetooth module with your Spektrum DX3 Smart or DX2E Active transmitter and view real-time telemetry data like never before. You can also manage individual settings for RPM, temp, rx voltage and more with the options of setting alarms to indicate low voltage, high motor temperature, RPM limits and more. On top of our innovative telemetry dashboard, drivers can make even more indepth and fine adjustments to servo settings, such as travel, sub trims and auxiliary switch settings, right from the Dashboard app! Making it possible to fine tune your vehicle to your liking easy and hassle free.
Want to share your speed run with your friends? Use our Social media integration! Post a screen shot of your fastest run straight to your Facebook, Twitter or Instagram account right to your accounts with the simple touch of a button.
Installation tip: Upon initial pairing with the installed Spektrum Bluetooth module, the application will update the transmitter firmware which enables the transmitter to receive telemetry data from the onboard telemetry receiver or telemetry module. Please do not close the application or power off the transmitter during the update process. The Dashboard application will not function until the transmitter is updated.

Great video. Well done. Everything easily explained without a ton of extra nonsense. Really great job. So many CZcams RC guys take an insanely long way around some of these instructions. I really appreciate the simple direct explanations without 30 minutes of lead up.
Thanks Jimmy!
@@SpektrumRCvideos why can’t I get the dashboard app on my apple iphone
@@rclunatic does your iPhone meet the current iOS 15 update?
You have changed some settings, the avc as soon as I turn off does not turn off and remains always working, and the wheels do not turn, I have to keep all the avc on to make them turn ... Help me!
You did a great job explaining all the details of the Dashboard App. After watching your video there would hardly be a need to search through the manual as you broke down everything so well. Totally Awesome work ... ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Glad it was helpful!
Can’t wait to get that phone holder nice review thanks
Thanks for sharing with us and sharing the information
Thank you for this video I was struggling with the foam pad 😂 Didnt know it had to be removed
Please update the app to make it compatible with Android 13.
great explanation I bought 3 of these set up's so I dont have to instal the mods on to my 3 remotes and they will be all set for each rc boats and cars.
I'm very new to the Rc boat world, can you use this remote for the Sonicwake v2, if so what's the first thing you do step by step pls
It's useless now since I purchased this product not knowing it only works on older versions of Android. I don't have any "older" versions of andriod.
Same here. I'm looking at my useless BT2000 now
Same thing here...
@@Speedether it's now been updated and works for me
Well I'm getting pissed at spektrum. I've been waiting 2 months for the Android update they say is coming. If I knew it didn't work, I would have waited to spend the money.
@danperez7169 I've gotten it to work now, so I think they already pushed an update.
This is amazing!
Why is the app down in iOS
Sweet !
Very helpful video 🤙🏾🤙🏾
Great info, thanks. When you first set up telemetry you said you had 6s with a good charge, yet on the transmitter the 2nd light up is blinking indicating your battery would be on the low end of charge status. Which is correct and why the difference? Thanks
Great video I am going to get this module for my DX3 smart controler. Abut the wheel rocker I got this same remote from the Losi Tenacity TT Pro but it doesn't have the rocker. Is that an add-on part? Thanks
The dashboard does not show up for IOS phone. Where do I get it?
I am having the same problem. I cannot locate the dashboard app the android phone.
thanks for the tips
You bet!
Cool thing! Thinking of getting it. Not that pricey either. Just one though - the font in the app looks like the one in the menus on my chinese Creality 3D-printer - and it even looks tacky there :P A font without serifs would look that much better. Like the one in the setup menus for example.
Great tech
This is by far the best I’ve seen yet for about $100
dosnt work with iphone, i bought it they wont take it back
Does the infraction v2 need any additional telemetry sensors for the car to give the speed on the app?
hi, the transmission of telemetry data and the programming of the esc work with the sr315?
Is the dx5 rugged ever going to get something like this, much easier to program the radio from my phone
Downloaded the Spektrum Dashboard app recently and it does not have the “Aux Point Mode” section as shown in this video. Reason why I’m asking is the video states lights could be controlled which is what I’d like to do with my newly purchased DBXL-E 2.0 buggy. Can I control the light-bar using the A/B switch on the DX3 transmitter and this app. Spektrum Dashboard app version 9.3 from the Apple App Store. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks, Mike
Do you have any further directions on installing this TM1500 telemetry module on a Losi 22s drag car? Do you still need external sensors for rpm and temp? Could it possibly obtain that data from the ESC?
Hi I have the DX2E active and my TX don't turn on after installing the wifi module SPM6741 only the module light flashes what can I do to fix it? I laso have the DX3 but the wifi module BT2000 and the phone mount is out of stock I am worried that the same situation could happen any help will be appreciated.
Hello! is it correct that the module and the app only work if you use the original spectrum batteries?
Just to double check, you can't adjust ESC settings from the app? like punch or drag brake?
Awesome
I need one of those
What is the model memory of the dx3? Is it just one or does the Bluetooth and dashboard allow for more models?
The current draw display seems to only allow you to set a max of 10A. This doesn’t seem right since the SMART ESC I’m using is 160A continuous with a peak over 1000A. Am I misunderstanding what this is supposed to be showing?
The app does not show up in iOS
yes it does. the app does the work.
Grear radio features and add-on. Hope to see more of this innovation from Spektrum in the future. Thanks for a great informative and helpful walk through, well done! Can you bind more than one phone to the telemtry? ie. if my son uses my remote with the telemetry can he use his phone, then when Im using it it will auto switch to mine (providing they have both been binded to it of course)? Or is it only able to bind with one phone at a time? What if both phones are present near the remote when its on?
It will only bind/connect to one phone at a time. You will need to repeat the pairing process if changing between the 2
Read my manual front to back. Didn’t see a area that mentioned rollout or poll count. I have the arrma vorteks.
Hi great vid helped with the pairing I now can get as far as it trying to connect but not getting any further. Anyone had this problem
Hi Nick, which part are you having trouble with precisely? Also are you on Android or IOS? Thanks!
You say it can control lights , but what do you mean ? Will one have control turning lights on or off ? People want that feature. Great Video
I am thinking about getting the tyhon grom, can i bind the dx3 with the stock esc or do i need to upgrade it? Ultimately i want to use spektrum telemetry with it after doing a motor / esc upgrade. I assume i can use spektrum firma electronics and the bt2000 chip in my dx3 to use all the telemetry with it. any information you have is appreciated. thanks
Any plans to update this app? It's already incompatible with the current version of android and it's apparently only 2 years old?
I'm assuming this isn't available yet since Horizon Hobby has it as backordered and people are saying the app isn't even available.
Is there a release date? This really makes me want to get one of these radios now.
What’s the different in Bluetooth module SPM6741 and the one in the video
Mine is reading everything but will not show rpm and mph at all any ideas why? Its the spektrum firma 40a smart esc
Wondered what that area under the cover on top was for and now I know.
Does this work for boats like the BlackJack 42 ?
Kindly can it change the speeds of the throttle and the steering?
Anyway to monitor motor temps with a extra senor or something?
Hi there, in the channel setup, does link connect channels? ie you could link TH to an AUX to run sense ESS sound module on the AUX channel?
No, link essentially makes it so if you adjust one endpoint(such as right or left on steering) then it equally adjusts the opposite end point.
Can Spektrum please update the Android app to work with Android 12 and later? I've bought the Bluetooth module and phone mount, but can't install the app as the Play Store says the app was made for an older version of Android.
I cannot find the app for Android. When and where will it be available for download?
Interesting to see these old apps Spektrum had. Too bad they never kept it up to date.
Not sure why you would sell a module that currently has no app to link up to. I have an iPhone 11 and the iPhone does not have an app for the dashboard. The links provided for the app on this video don’t work
Does one remote support multiple models with this app?
Hello friend, I have a radio dx3 and in my arrma infraction 6s I will have moved some settings with the bluethoot module in the app, the problem is that when I detach the avc does not turn off and the wheels no longer turn, instead when I reactivate the avc is always active and the wheels instead turn, I can not detach the avc yes and mixed with the servo, Please help me.
The app is not available for android? I just purchased the bt2000. Will there be a new app put in the app store?
Do I need a Spektrum ESC to make this work?
I use a Castle one and I'm not changing it out.
I have the DX3 radio gear so all good there.
I think you would have steering adjustments but nothing else
Wil the Infraction work with this Bluetooth module? Out of the box? I have the Spectrum smart lipos. Just need to know if I need to upgrade my RX or ESC to get all this telemetry? Thanks!
It depends on which model of the Infraction. If it is the 6S version then yes it will work. Hope that helps!
How did it give you mph without the motor in the car nor in motion? Wouldn’t gearing and tire diameter affect mph?
That's the same thing I was asking what happens when I change my prop size on my boat in that going to affect the speed I figured it would use some kind of GPS deal not just going off the RPM and they poll count of your motor you change your tire size you change your gearing I mean it's all out of whack I would think
Can you share a Bluetooth module between multiple radios? So can I set up my end points and throttle limiters on a DX2E then take out the Bluetooth module and plug it into my DX3 and set it up and have them both save the settings? Also did you show how to set up AVC for throttle independent of steering?
Hi Greg, the modules for the DX3 Smart and DX2e Active are completely different hardware. Also, with the current firmware, there is no ability to tune them separately, that is one of the perks of upgrading to a DX5C or better ;)
Do you have to buy the thing that goes in the
When is it going on sale?
I wish this was available when I wasted $600 on my Dx6r. I still can't believe Spektrum doesn't offer a system that offers telemetry and Avc at the same time.
The SR6100AT SR6110AT and SR6200A all offer AVC and Telemetry at the same time. the 6200A via Smart ESC and the other 2 have full telemetry support with sensor ports and xbus expansion slots.
Can someone plz tell me what the roll out settings are for the Losi Promoto?
Each reading needs a too end display. When im driving i cant be looking at the amps for example, so when i stop. Id like to the what the max amps was. The app only does it for speed.
How many RCs can you use with this module?
Why is the Apple App Store telling me the dashboard app isn’t available in my region?
People with iPhones were smashing up their cars because of a bug in the app. The cars would take on a mind of their own and do a runaway. Spektrum pulled the app. Android was working fine though.
@@Mapantz1 Thanks, i have seen some bad reviews on their website, but those People probably used iphones, but luckily im using android.
can anybody help me i have arrma kraton 8s not sure what rollout or pole count is for my rc car
Do I need that to setup
so it only works with smart battery? cuz mine connected but it aint giving me no readings
Anyone know the roll out for the kraton 8s?
Where did the app go? Both links are broken and I can't find it 9n Google play or Apple store
Does anyone have the good link for the Dashboard app? Cannot find it on Google Play.... Thanks!
hi there , i need the app for Android , I can't seem to find it ?
Do it read pass 100mph??
Where do you get the app from
Does the radio save the Dashboard settings, so that I can run those settings without Dashboard open/connected?
Yes it does :)
hi, appreciate the video, very well explained. I actually was able to set it up but after couple of minutes the app asked if I wanted to update to v1.5, it never finished the upgrade and now every time i try to link to the bt2000 the application crashes. any idea how to resolve?
Hi Pedro, Are you using IOS or Android?
@@SpektrumRCvideos Hello thanks for the prompt reply, I’m using Apple IO
Same thing happened to me. mine still don't work. Did you find out how to fix this?
Same mine doesn't work and I'm on Android
So this is going off of your RPM and the poll count on your motor to determine the speed of your vehicle. What happens when you change tire sizes, gearing, or in my case I'll be running a boat and change the prop size and pitch⁹ that won't be accurate will it? And if so how? Please explain.
In combination with "roll-out" which is the value that takes into account gearing and tire size, then it will be fairly accurate. That said, at this point the only way to get speed on a boat is to use some sort of GPS meter or sensor.
i wish the arrma vorteks came with this
Wish you would have gone more in to the roll out section..
I'm very new to the Rc boat world, can you use this remote for the Sonicwake v2, if so what's the first thing you do step by step pls
The Sonicwake V2 comes with a SLT3 transmitter which is NOT compatible with the Dashboard app and accessories. My best suggestion, if you want telemetry data, is to upgrade your transmitter to something like a DX5C Smart. Hope that helps!
So I’ve got a Typhon 6S 2021 model if that matters. It’s got the lesser controller can’t think of the number off the top of my head. Wanna say “slt” something but on the box it advertises smart transmitter and the dashboard app. But I guess needed the DX3 controller to use the app. So I just picked up a losi lasernut which did come with the DX3 controller. So I ordered the module you’re installing here. Still waiting on that but after I saw some bad reviews I thought I better get educated on how it works exactly. Sorry off track. Can I bind the DX3 controller with both the lasernut and typhon. I’d obviously use them separately and never run them at the same time (these are 2 of my most expensive cars I don’t let anyone else use these guys) sorry I took the long way around. I appreciate this video very much.
You can bind it too both BUT the settings might not be correct for both. IE the reversing and trim positions may be different between the 2. So just make sure when you go from one to the other you remember or take note on what those settings were so you are not left guessing what the settings were. Hope that helps!
@@SpektrumRCvideos awesome. I’m still waiting for the module to come. I appreciate your time and input. I’ll definitely check and compare the settings before I do anything hasty
Can you use this with a Capra 4ws ? I have recently bought the BT2000, fitted it but the rpm and speed dont work , any ideas ?
Hi Tibor, yes you can use it with the Capra 4WS and the Dashboard app will help you setup the AUX channel more easily. Unfortunately the brushed Smart ESCs do not support RPM or Speed telemetry.
Ahhhh right. Thank you so much for that information i been scratching my head lol. Thank you
nice video How much is the cell phone mount

Hey can you please tell me if this spektrum dashboard app and Bluetooth module is compatible with the spektrum gps telemetry sensor to read more Accurate speeds in the dashboard app rather than using rollout settings for speed
Yes it is :)
Awesome thanks for the reply I’ll give it a go and see how it works then hopfully it’s not to hard to link up the gps to get it working
Where do you find the app for Android
It's surprising that spektrum has done something useful with this. It's a shame traxxas cannot adapt a mobile phone holder for a very fast model like the X-o1 and xmaxx. Well done spektrum.
Traxxas does have a phone holder for their remote
WHY IS THE ANDROID DASHBOARD APP NOT ON GOOGLE PLAY??? ALSO LINK IS NOT WORKING
I’m having an issue. My DX3 transmitter (remote control) never shows the battery level on the little green dot section. I bought a brand new Kraton 6s EXB. Straight out of the box the transmitter is not showing the battery level.
So… I decided to buy the BT2000 and see if that would help. And also all the extra changes I can make from the app of course.
I put in the BT2000 and successfully paired it to the app… but still not showing any info on my kraton, my battery voltage… nothing.
Is this a problem with my transmitter? Or the receiver in the car? Please help!
I even bought the Spektrum Smart ESC Programmer V2 to make sure my firmware was up-to-date and everything. That shouldn’t play any role considering we’re talking about the receiver and transmitter… but I’ve tried everything that I can personally do to try and fix the problem.
Please help!
I was informed I could find the radio serial number for registration of the DX3- BUT HOW AND WHERE??
Same problem in locating the serial number for the DX3
Not receiving any data from the car. App linked to the Bluetooth but the app won’t show any type of data from the car. What am I missing? Thanks
Sir I just bought the module and alot more stiff but.... I lost the little latch cover of the Transmitter, I've been looking everywhere for one. I don't mind paying for one either ty....
Hi Javii, contact our service team and they should be able to get you out a replacement cover - www.horizonhobby.com/contact
I'm using a android updated to 1.5 still won't connect says connecting firmware updating nothing happens
The same thing happened to mine. Did you find a fix to this yet? Mine still don't work.
Got the Losi SBR2.0 , disappointed to see I cannot configure the stability control from the APP like I can with the Traxxas setup ?
Stability control is all done with the rate knob at this time.
@@SpektrumRCvideos Is that rate knob shared with the steering rate knob ?? I mean the truck comes with zero in depth instructions about the radio gear to be honest, I probably know half of what this gear is capable of, I concede I may have missed something in the small writing with my old eyes :D ?? looking at it today it seems AVC is written in small letters above ST RATE....when I tried the ST Rate first time I drove it , it just seemed to limit maximum steering lock?
@@SpektrumRCvideos I have this working properly now, I think something wasn't correct last time I tried, the rate knob now functions as you describe, previously it just seemed to limit available steering angle - which seems bizarre in hindsight ??
my arrma felony dx3 controller stopped working after installing the Bt2000. it asked to update the firmware from 1.4 to 1.5 and now the car hasn’t worked since with the Bt2000 or with out it. the power light is slow blinking orange. I've seen other reviews where the same thing happened to them. Has anyone found a solution to this?
Is it broken still
Will the mount fit the ProMax iPhones?
Yes :)
does the android app still exist? it's not found in the play store!!
So where is the android app? Why are these for sale when you cant use them?
how come I can't download in canada
Do you have to buy sensors like Traxxas?
If using a Smart ESC you do not need additional sensors :)
Connection failed but the light stays solid. No gauges work at all. What am I doing wrong?
Anyone have any clue how to use the app with multiple DX3 handsets with Bluetooth modules fitted without having to set up the model info and serve endpoints etc every time I run a different model?
