**Answered*** How do I change the valve index base station channels without bluetooth?
I received a RMA replacement base station and it is set to channel 1, the same channel as my current base station that works. Problem is my bluetooth does not work.

How do i manually change the bases station broadcast channel? Thank you!

***Update Answered***: When the base station is plugged in use a paper clip to press the button inside the tiny holy in the back of the base station. You will hear / feel it click. This increments the channel up by 1 and will allow you to change base station channels without bluetooth being enabled!

It's done in software. launch steamVR. right click and go to devices, base stations, configure base station channels.

Get the correct hardware first. These base stations have it. You have a different hardware. Dont reply.

I ordered mines from valve. They dont have buttons. It does have a pinhole button.
