##### V1+ Headlight bug
A bug on the V1+ is a non working headlight, the taillight still works.<br>Can it be fixed? With the Cowboy Untamed app you can reset your PCB. This will not reset any settings but only reboot the communications PCB. 9 out of 10 times the headlight bug will be fixed (for a while). There is no fix from Cowboy yet.<br>Connect to your bike with the Cowboy Untamed app. Go to the *Expert Settings* and press the *Reset PCB* button. This will reboot the bike, shown by "running lights" on the main tube LEDs.


## The future
I think there is a quite solid base now for the future. Offcourse removing the speed limit was my main goal. Second I wanted to make shortcuts which I could use via *Tasker*.<br>I have discussed with other bikers and some of us would like to be able to set the support level. When you want to ride along with a non e-biker the support should be a lot less. The idea is to make speed dependant support. Let's say 0-10km/h you get the current support, 11-22km/h low to no support, 23->km/h regular untamed support. The levels can be set by the user. You can activate them via a long press shortcut.<br><br>These are ideas. I'm now ready to start exploring how to. I believe it can be done, but I want to do some serious testing with my own bike before I release it into the wild.<br><br>Due to bad weather I can't do much testing. I hope we will get some nice weather soon.

- Can the settings be undone?<br>Yes, if you have not tinkered with this app (or other apps like Bronco) you can write down your settings and re-apply them later. Using the defaults button can be tricky if Cowboy changes their default settings. Until now they didn't so you should be safe.

- Can I use another Android phone to make the settings?<br>Yes, you can use a different Android phone to make the settings and then switch back to your original phone. This can also be an iPhone. Also auto unlock should work with a V1+ and an iPhone.

- Will this app work on a Cowboy V4?<br>I really don't know. I have not seen the bike in real life.
