Well the compilot ll is, you can use the compilot ll for streaming and phone calls, plus built-in remote control, and has audio input with a 3.5 mm plug, supports Roger etc and lastly you can connect a TV connecter.

Yeah, I just queried the inimitable oracle and it said:

For the standard Phonak Audéo B90, you should choose the Phonak iCube II. The Noahlink Wireless is not compatible with your specific hearing aids

Cripes I'm old!

I still have Bolero V70, after which I have Audéo P90 and now Infinio Sphere 90. If I will be bored, I'll also buy that for Bolero V70 programming. I wonder if I was underamplified with this.

Hi there @irinel great your giving a go, be sure to read the user guides before starting and as you have the Noahlink wireless already I'm sure you'll be up and running in no time.

Just arrived. Looks pretty complete, right down to the software, which, unfortunately, won't install on my Windows 11 system. It may be be X86 specific. Will try it on a win 10 machine I have set up, but if it has to run on 16-bit, I'll have to build another machine for it. Is there a more modern installer around? In the meantime, I printed out the docs and can spend some time perusing those. Thanks again for all the guidance. Joe

Well, read the instructions, set it up -- tried to connect, then dropped. Here's what ChatGPT says:

Since you are using Phonak Target to self-program or adjust your settings, the reason you cannot get them to connect is a hardware mismatch: The iCube II is completely incompatible with the Audéo B-Direct hearing aids.

Even though other models in the Audéo Belong (B) lineup use the iCube II the Audéo B-Direct was a unique "transition" model. It was the very first Phonak hearing aid built with the SWORD chip (Sonova Wireless One Radio Digital) to allow direct Bluetooth connection to cell phones. Because it uses this newer radio platform, its internal wireless hardware changed entirely.

What you need to program them in Target:

  • The Required Interface: You must use a Noahlink Wireless programmer.
  • Wired Options: The B-Direct does not support traditional wired programming (via Hi-Pro or miniPro cables). Noahlink Wireless is your only option.

Anyone in the market for a complete ICube II setup?

Yep that's right, gotta have the right programming device for the correct platform, Audio B-Direct uses the Noahlink wireless, so had we known...now guess what you can't use the compilot ll on a B-Direct! also the B-Direct is disposal battery not rechargeable?so how do you know what models you have? I asked 2 or 3 times but it was all guesswork, now we don't know how you were trying to make correction to target, as in there's a procedure to follow, but you did say you read the instructions so you must of got that right, remember you only get 2 minutes to make the pairing before it times out, so please confirm the exact models you have and we can then confirm what you need, cheers

Also I wouldn't be quick to sell, if you do have a model that uses icube ll then you should use target 6 or 7, as they're fully compatible with icube ll

I believe so, I think 8.1 or abouts was the last to fully support it, 6 for the original icube.

Been occupied with other stuff -- just sold the iCube, so the search continues.

How do I know what model I have? Asked my wife, of course ...

Will investigate further before running off half-cocked again.

Mine are definitely rechargeable.

thanks again for all the help ... and patience. I was almost ready to bite the bullet and find and audiologist, but not it's a matter of principle!
