One gripe I got with the c406 is you cant customize the data fields fully. For example, if one page has your current speed, heart rate, clock, grade, cadence, etc... you cant put in the distance. The distance will only be available in another page. If you put in the distance, there is one field that cannot be on the same page (i dont know if cadence, or grade). Basta, its not 100% fully customizable to your liking. Other than that, it serves a bike computer's purpose.
did you experience this too in your magene C406? there are times when my C406 stops recording on its own so it does not record the whole distance of the ride. like if the total distance is 7km, it only records 5-6km. is there a way to reboot the cyclocomputer?
Hi Ryan - I have not tried it. Since posting this video, I started working with the folks who bring Magene into the Philippines. They have really good customer service. Are you in the Philippines? You can try giving them a message facebook.com/SPNcycleph
Using magene since may 2021, 8000 kms and no issues. Magene HRM and sensors as well. Really a good budget cyclo computer. And yes, you really can't change the fixed field size. It's just one of the limitations of having a budget cyclo computer.
Hi there, I have a problem which I am facing with magene c406 pro. Whenever I complete ride, the data is uploaded on strava but not on TrainingPeaks. However earlier it was working perfectly fine. I have done re uploads, reinstalled apps. Even then it doesn't work. So everytime I have feed in details manually. Kindly provide solution. Thanks.
Did magene fixed the power meter issue? For some reason the power reading will stay in the screen when you stop pedaling. It doesn't drop to zero when you stop pedaling.
i wasn't able to test the power meter issue. I don't have one and I stopped using it bec water filled up inside when I went on a rain ride. Still works though
Just in case you started to ride. If you forgot to press the start button. Then it would not record your ride? Or does it automatically record once you turn it on?
I want to do a challenge to myself. I'm dangerously obese right now. I started biking to commute past like 2 years ago then I stopped due to laziness, that's my fault. I don't have a bike right now and I really want to go back to biking like go long distances, like couple years ago when I did it. I miss that time. P.S. I envy you for having bike friends. I don't have that :D I always go solo.
@@carlovillarica yup i've had the cheaper one xoss g+ and turns out its more reliable, sadly i sold the xoss. Now i need to buy a new one 😪 bought an igpsport at RD cycles 🤣 syet gastos nadoble. 🥲🥲🥲
@carlovillarica only reason I'm looking now is because I used to have the wahoo rfklt+ but they ended support and I've just been using my phone in a Garmin mount with the rubber scrappy thing. I'm kinda scared the rubber will just snap and bye bye phone. Super pissed with Wahoo for killing the RFLKT. I may just go with the iGPSPORT BC100S until I can afford the 630.

True! Although my unit had water inside after a heavy rain ride. So not ideal
The C406 Pro I believe you can make the display larger if you want to display fewer data
oh interesting. We'll see if i upgrade eventually

Congrats dol for finishing the Iroman. Salamat sa upload! no boring days indeed.

Yup! I'm hoping I have the same experience as you. I like it when my stuff lasts

uhm... i dont work for Magene. So I don't know the answer to this
Good sir. Does this Magene tells you altitude while riding real time?
It has elevation gain, but not sure about altitude. I haven't tried that, but I'm guessing it should

i believe you need to press the start button. IT's been a while since I last used it though. So my memory is a bit sketchy
I'm using the same one. I bought a rubber case and it totally changed the feel
oh that's a good idea
I have that and it just simply works. Just watch out lang for moisture after a wet/rainy ride. Add a rubber casing na din.
oh that's well noted
need an advice here sir, between c406 and igsport bsc100s, thanks before
I haven't tried igsport bsc100s - pero my c406 na sudlan gyud water. Still works though
Same here, any lead yet?
@@youngsuk3329 in the end finnaly i bougth coospoo bc200🤣
better go for igpsport bsc100s
@@ericsantiago5688 , actually i bougth Coospo BC200, after saving some money😁
Hi is it compatible with a Garmin speed and cadence sensor?
i haven't tried, but it should be
does magene c406 work with dumb indoor with speed sensor?
it should
Sad to hear your Garmin couldn't be fixed. Hope the new bike computer work well for your coming rides!
I hope so too!

I hope you get a bike. Riding is fun with friends or solo.
Now iam using pro model and sell my c406 at half after using 1 year
Good to hear!
My magene c406 initially died after 4 months. So I got an IGPS50E, right before my new unit came, the C406 came back on.
I hope I don't have the same experience haha
Does the Magene C406 come with turn-by-turn navigation?
I don't think so
Got mine 2 weeks ago. And it keeps on crashing. Shitty magene!
sorry to hear that. i guess bec of the cheap price, there are QC issues every now and then
@@carlovillarica yup i've had the cheaper one xoss g+ and turns out its more reliable, sadly i sold the xoss. Now i need to buy a new one 😪 bought an igpsport at RD cycles 🤣 syet gastos nadoble. 🥲🥲🥲
Any update on the headunit, other than being filled with water? Im debating between the C206 pro, C406 and igsport bc100.
i gave mine to a friend. He said it eventually died on him :(

Torn between this and Xplova X2.. hmmmm
One thing with the magene c406, it was not waterproof. Water leaked heavily during a rain ride
Battery life is Superb 25 hours backup with day and night ride
Yup battery lasted long for sure
My wife's Magene cadence and heartrate started messing around 5 months. 🤬
yikes
The magene heart rate sensor sucks( old version ), it only lasted for about 5 months.
i hope mine lasts longer
I am using the cheap lixada. Not good.
yikes
Stop it...the build and fit...is perfect. What do you want? A tablet?
nothing is perfect
Kumusta iron man Sir Carlo?
Will work on the IRONMAN video today haha But in the meantime, here's a quick recap instagram.com/p/Cg-fKNSvxAF/
Well done sir! Looking forward sa iron man video! Kudos!
This product should be avoided, as the fixing lugs are weak and will break after a guaranteed programmed obsolescence...
water ended up getting inside.
Igsport is better than magene
in what way?
