[Hemi]

Dear Members,

can i I ask if a gc2 can be converted to gc2a so that I can connect it to an iPad?

thanks in advance

I likely am wasting your time answering as I don't know for sure but it would likely take a new Bluetooth radio installed by Foresight in the GC2 which will cost a lot more than buying an Android Device to use to connect to the GC2.

They used to charge $500 to do that a couple years ago. Now they also charge a $500 registration fee before they will service it if you buy it used from someone other than them so you are probably looking at $1k. It will be much cheaper to buy an android tablet

Thanks to both of you for your speedy help.....is the android version now just as good as the apple version?

app doesnt work so far in android. i just bought Ipad and can't get connection. frustrated. serial is 29xx.

I haven't used either one so I can't say. Maybe someone else can chime in.

If you bought your gc2 used, it’s likely a better deal to buy another used gc2 then sell yours. I bet you could buy an A unit for around 4K and sell yours for 3,500 to 3,700 would be my guess.

I have an early non-Apple version. They did indeed want $500 for the upgrade (plus shipping both ways). Went to Best Buy and bought their house brand (Insignia) tablet. Cheap and works just fine for the times I don't want to fire up the laptop and projector. As a bonus, also controls my Sonos. A win-win.

Thanks all, all sorted, bought the GC2 from a closing down Drummond golf (a golf superstore chain in Australia). He had 2 others for sale, so I went and swapped it for a GC2A. Same price. He didn’t know about the different versions. I am now a GC2A owner...first foray into the golf sim world. It came with a projector, screen, mat, FR1 with 15 courses. $5000aud. This site massively informed my purchasing so thanks a lot. Now to try and get it all working!
