Yep, the VC sensor just plain doesn't work. It's not helped by the fact that the manufacturers choose to blame this on other people, rather than fixing the issue.

I replaced it with a $12 Scosche speed/cadence meter which has been a champ. I still wish there was a magnetless speed meter that works with Bluetooth though.
