No Bluetooth Menu after Upgrade from V2.87 to V2.90

Hello Victron Community,


after Upgrading from V2.87 to 2.90, the Bluetooth Menu is missing. I am using the internernal Cerbo GX Bluetooth device.

Menu shown at V2.87bluetooth1.png

Menu shown at V2.90

Is there an issue with the internal Bluetooth driver or something other wrong?

How can I get back the Bluetooth divice in Firmware greater than V2.87?

Best regards!

Yes, I'm disapointed with that but if you read the changelog, they tell you it's to reduce the interference with the wifi and you'll now need an external bluetooth device to communicate with your bluetooth devices/sensors.


Personally, I'd rather be able to choose to enable it or not.

Hello ponzoa, thanks a lot for the quick answer!

Better I should have read the changelog. I am using the Cerbo GX with cabled LAN connection, so the interference has not been any issue. It would be very nice to enable this option in later releases!

What type of external Bluetooth device is compatible with the Cerbo GX.

I think not all devices and manufactors are supported. (had this issue with the RS485 USB dongle)

Best regards!
