Hi.
I have a problem with tacx i-vortex:
It works fine with my android device -trainer is available and able to connect.
But TDA cant see trainer - searching and searching. Both icons (ANT & bluetooth) are green during searching so dongle is fine. Windows recognize it when its plugged showing popup of ant. I tried on two PC... and nothing
Any ideas what can be reason?

You said i-vortex. Specifically, what model number do you have. Older I-Vortex trainers are not "Smart" trainers (Bluetooth and current ANT+ compatible), so it is important to know what model number you have.

If it is the T2170 as suggested in your post title, then it is not a Smart trainer. The 2170 uses a proprietary ANT protocol and does not have Bluetooth. So, it will not work with TDA or any of the software requiring a Smart trainer. The T2170 is about 7 years old or so, so it is getting a bit long in the tooth, technology-wise.
