Quick Q&A Session: How to Connect Yarbo Speaker? đŸŽ¶

Wondering how to connect your Yarbo Speaker? Let’s walk you through the steps!

When you first use the app, it automatically connects your rover to your Bluetooth device. Usually, you’ll start with “Add Your Yarbo” and “Select Your Yarbo Model” to control the rover. But what about connecting the Yarbo Speaker?

Here’s a quick guide to help you set it up:

  1. Press and hold the power button on your Yarbo for 3-4 seconds.

  2. When the rear lights flash blue, Yarbo enters pairing mode.

  3. Go to your phone’s Bluetooth settings and scan for “Yarbo Music” to connect.

  4. Click “Pair” when the Bluetooth Pairing Request pops up, and you’re all set!

:warning: Important: If Yarbo loses connection, it won’t automatically reconnect. You’ll need to unpair and redo the pairing process.

We’re actively working on improving Bluetooth functionality in future updates, based on your feedback!

Check out the video attached for a visual guide. :movie_camera:

Caution, kids: I tried pairing the speaker with my ANCIENT Samsung Note 9 from 1927, and it barely worked – so difficult and fiddly to pair and actually get an audio connection.

BUT – coincidentally? – starting when I first tried to pair the speaker with my phone from Ancient Egypt – I got frequent Bluetooth pairing requests that you couldn’t make happy and have go away forever
so annoying after several months I went out and purchased a new phone. I’m not trying this again on the new phone. No way.

Nope, there’s nothing to “delete” from the BT connections on the phone. Nothing I could do from my side other than to turn off the phone’s Bluetooth. Tell THAT to my Garmin watch.

I had a live Support call back in January or so, and the engineer tried a quick patch, but it didn’t work.

Yarbo peeps, I placed my antediluvian phone back in its sarcophagus for now but will be happy to work with your team on a fix if access to this specific device would be helpful.

Any updates on whether the Bluetooth speaker mode is less buggy/more seamless?

I don’t believe this is on the priority list for fixes. I don’t recall seeing anything in the release notes.

You should absolutely try it. Works well on iPhone and some android.

So shouldn’t be any issues as Ken mentions above?

Probably not. Most of his issues I think were somewhat unique. Although it has happened, most of the time it either works or it doesn’t. It’s worked every single time for me across multiple cores.
