Reset it with the magnet trick. Somewhere here, maybe in my first post. Had that one a few bikes to.
Did that but still no readings on the BC. Had to do a factory reset of the BC and reset of the PM as only the reset showed readings in the magene app.

Hope no one has this issues but if some one has, this was the trick with me.

Since my original question asking about these "cheap" P505s from polish sellers and the realization in this thread (and other places) that they are actually shipping from China and might be shipping the Chinese version I just ordered off Magene Official with the Sunshine Savings. Solid price. Also took 170mm cranks instead of 175 that I currently use. I don't have any problems at all with 175mm but I guess even I am affected by the hype.

Now it's just a matter of waiting. I'm sure I'll be back in the thread asking about various problems I encounter :P
I had ordered it from a polish reseller and it did not ship from China and there was also no additional taxes. The seller also unlocked the P&B smoothness.

Well... so I have or rather wanted to test the newly installed power meter and I do not get any readings to my bike computer...

The Magene app says its connected, the Onelap app says its connected, the Magene c406pro says its connected but while riding power and cadence show zero "0".

Did I miss some settings or what to do to get the power readings?

I bought from this store: Shop1104720516 Its closed now but have contacted the shop that opened a few days ago that selles these powermeters and the seller has the same avatar so its probably the all the same. So I just asked him why does magene want additional 80$ for this and he told me that he will unlock it after I make my purchase. Told him I purchased in his old store and sent him the serial number and it was opened the next minute.

No complaining...

This is the new store, 2 days old: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/1104679403

I have contacted magene directly, hope they have a solution. If not I ll try with a reseller.

Does these settings have any huge impact while riding? Am completely new to this.

Check the preload screw if  this has second allen key hole inside.
Looks like it is.

I assume this is the new version, right? At least the manual is the same one as you linked.

I have bought the second one with 165mm cranks, it will arrive this week, hopefully it will have the updated bolt design.
I received mine last week from poland. have not yet installed it. How can I check which bolt was in the box - whats the difference?

I myself have few of these now. Absolutely love them even on long 8h gravel rides they perform great, for me. When they have a sale for the red pad ones, I might pick up a set to try, but for now and at $20CDN these were amazing buy. i bought a pair, tried them out on the trainer and outside, promptly bough 3 more pairs.
are the red padded ones better? can you please provide a link.

BTW are there any more brands that are good for at least 5 hours ride and have sidepockets?

btw how good are magene chain rings compared to shimano (105). I have the 105s on now... If the Goldix are more or less bad and PQ and S are double the Shimano/Magene... What do you guys recommend?

Thanks a lot, just what I needed/wanted to hear…

W or w/o chainrings the price difference is around 60$, I guess its worth it?

Depends on what your "starting position" is:

Replacing the Shimano cranks on your current bike to get power? ==> Magene PES P505 Base is one of the easiest and cheapest ways to go!
Building a new bike?
Going for "good enough" ==> Magene PES P505 Base
or weight weenie build? ==> Standalone Magene P505 spider + lightweight carbon cranks or Easton based PM + cranks
Replacing the shimano one… am quite a noob regarding powermeters/cranks… I’d just like to upgrade my bike a bit, ofc not for large chunk of dough.
