I have the Linx installed on a 2020 Jeep Gladiator. I also have a new Elements fridge/freezer installed with the Bluetooth module which runs from a second battery in my Genesis dual battery setup. I can turn my fridge on and it will always stay on (i.e. not being disconnected from the battery and will be at 14.6V while driving). So, no issues with power to fridge and from the fridge screen itself, it will be powered on and working.
My issue is, the Bluetooth disconnects and connects from the Linx module non stop. I can go for a 20 minute drive and it’ll connect and disconnect every 5-6 minutes. Hour long trip, it can happen 15+ times. When on the fridge page for the Linx, the fridge will be connected and have full control (lock/unlock, change temp, etc) and then my Linx phone will make a “ding” noise and the fridge page on the Linx will show fridge is disconnected. Then 5-6 minutes later it’ll connect and be working again, then maybe 5-6 minutes later it’ll connect and this happens the entirety of the time the vehicle is running (all while the volts remain at 14.6). And when the fridge disconnects from the Linx via bluetooth, the fridge will still be on and working. Also, if I have the Linx handset in hand at the fridge, it’ll still happen, so it can’t be the Bluetooth struggling to make the connection from the bed to the cab (I presume).
What could be the cause of this constant connecting/disconnecting of the fridge Bluetooth module to the Linx? (And I’ve checked the connection of the Bluetooth module plugged into the fridge and its connected properly).
(I’ve already emailed ARB technical support and am waiting to hear back, hoping to get a quick response from the forums)
