To delete the previous association:

Connecting AirPods to Peloton Bike
Connecting your AirPods to your Peloton bike can seem like a daunting task, but don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get started.
On Your Peloton Dashboard
First, make sure your Peloton dashboard is updated to the latest version. This is like making sure your GPS device is running on the latest software – it ensures that you’re using the latest features and bug fixes. To check for updates, simply open the Peloton app or go to the Peloton website and follow the prompts. Once you’re running the latest version, navigate to the “Settings” menu and look for the “AirPods” option. Clicking on this will take you to a page that allows you to connect your AirPods to your Peloton bike.
Checking Your AirPods Connection Status
Now that you’re on the AirPods page, you’ll see a list of available AirPods devices. Select the one you want to connect to your Peloton bike, and you’ll be prompted to enter the pairing code that appears on your AirPods device. This is usually a six-digit code that you’ll see on your AirPods case or on the back of the packaging. Once you’ve entered the code, your AirPods should be connected to your Peloton bike, and you can start listening to music or podcasts while you ride! But how do you know if your AirPods are really connected? That’s the topic of our next section.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
When it comes to pairing your AirPods with your Peloton bike, it’s not uncommon to encounter a few hiccups along the way. If you’re experiencing issues, don’t worry – we’re here to help you troubleshoot and get back to your fitness journey in no time!
AirPods Not Showing Up on Peloton Bike
Have you tried connecting your AirPods to your Peloton bike, only to find that they’re nowhere to be seen? This frustrating issue can be caused by a few different things. First, make sure that your AirPods are properly charged and paired with your iPhone. If you’re still having trouble, try restarting both your Peloton bike and your AirPods. Sometimes, a simple reboot can work wonders!
If restarting doesn’t do the trick, it’s possible that there’s a connection issue between your AirPods and Peloton bike. Try unplugging and replugging the AirPods from the bike, or even resetting the connection on your Peloton dashboard. If none of these solutions work, it may be worth resetting your AirPods to their factory settings or contacting Peloton support for further assistance.
Audio Delay or Skipping
On the other hand, if you’re experiencing audio delay or skipping while using your AirPods with your Peloton bike, it could be due to a variety of factors. To start, try checking the audio settings on your Peloton dashboard to ensure that the correct output is selected. You should also make sure that your AirPods are set to “AirPods” mode and not “Bluetooth headphones” mode.
If the issue persists, try restarting your Peloton bike or resetting the connection on your Peloton dashboard. Additionally, make sure that your AirPods are properly paired with your iPhone and that there are no conflicts with other Bluetooth devices in the area.
In some cases, audio delay or skipping can be caused by environmental factors, such as interference from other electronic devices or even the physical distance between your AirPods and Peloton bike. If you’re still experiencing issues, try moving your AirPods closer to the bike or adjusting the placement of any nearby electronic devices.
