chris_w_65 Posted June 12, 2011 Share Mini hijack Just so you will all know... When I needed IR for the Polar SD800 I had I was told by Polar I had to get a Polar one for R500.00. I then remembered I had a generic USB IR device so I gave it a try and it worked 100%. I think I bought it about 8 years ago so nothing fancy about it.

jmaccelari Posted June 12, 2011 Share Another mini hijack: I have to run VirtualBox on one of my machines solely so I can do the same with my Garmin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L.T.G Posted June 13, 2011 Share it worked fine for at least a month, till Saturday... then, i don't know what went wrong.Perhaps i should try the generic IR dongle route... but just in case, I've made an appointment at Polar (you don't just ever pitch up there, you'll wait almost 2 months for a reply on anything ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNT1 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Are you sure VMWare is passing the port through from the host correctly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L.T.G Posted June 13, 2011 Share Are you sure VMWare is passing the port through from the host correctly? it worked fine before Saturday, and i haven't changed any settings ... how/where would i be able to check that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno VMWAre fusion too well, but somewhere in the VM settings, you should be able to create a device specific USB filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L.T.G Posted June 13, 2011 Share thanks for the help guys.got it sorted!i started fiddling with VM a bit and found an IR setting that I'd missed before.it had obviously been reset when i had that glitch on Saturday, so all's ok now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
