Hi all,
I open this topic to share experience about the new Märklin app.
I have bought this app yesterday evening and all run ok.
No istruction about it or FAQ or other on Märklin site and in the web for now.

What you need is:

1 computer with iTunes installed
1 valid account on iTunes
1 running wifi network
1 free plug on your router to connect CS2 by cable
1 iPhod touch or iPhone or iPad (see in the apple shop what model are compatible)
1 a bit of experience with computer/net/IP ecc.

The step to install:

Connect the iPod to computer with iTunes and configure it (easy)
Connect the iPod to your wifi net (easy)
Go on the App Märklin shop, buy and run the MS app (easy)
Turn on CS2 and connect to the router (easy)
Wait until the iPod MS see the CS2 (easy but I've got some gremlins problems)
Run your trains

What are gremlins?
Here the two kind available, good


and bad


One bad at the start of this video...

(very friendly video, no?)

Coming back to the app, now all ok, you can operate the same loco on CS2 and iPod together, all what you do on one you can see on the other. Take a loco and command is fast and easy, and the same for the keyboard.
All the loco that you have on CS2 are available on iPod with name and miniature.
Now I want to test how many MS can run simultaneously, but for this I need some friends.
A video coming soon if you want.

see you later
bye

After the configuration of the iPod you need only the router, CS2 and iPod.
Now I'm testing a router without adsl connection, to create a network only for trains.

It´s very interested technology.

thank you very much.
I think I have made a mixed up between I-Pad & I-Phone may be...
With an I-phone I believed we can "join" I-tunes without any computer....but I'm not sure.
Do you know if I-Phone has the same way of configuration with PC ?

iPhone can do all itself, if you have a running router wifi just connect the CS2 via cable and start on.
However you can download the app without CS2 and use it in demo mode to test what happen.

The last test was take the router from my office, put it alone in the trains room, connect only CS2 e start the app on iPod, all ok, the system run.
So I think to buy a new router for my office and assign the old to the trains room.

Excuse me Juhan, I'm not sure to understand , what you mean with : " ...only one of them can have control simultaneously..."
Where is the difference, do you mean that direct control of a lok cannot be made at the same time on both CS2 & iPod ?
When driving one loco with i pod, CS1 doesn't show that this loco is running ?....or viceversa ...

Not at all, you haven't brought the topic to confuse me. I have made a typo mistake. Comparisons always are interesting. Thank you.

..hum...excuse me again...About Touchcab with ipodtouch & CS1....suppose I'm driving a Lock first on my Ipod , - is it possible ?....speed at 60km/h ,diesel motor sound is activated, interior cab light is on. Information displayed on Ipod screen is : speed 60 km/h,Function 1 and 3 activated.
Then I want to drive this Lok with my CS1, as soon as I re assign control to the CS1, what's happenning : is THIS Lok already & automatically displayed on the CS1 screen, or had I to select it first on CS1 before going on my iPod, or have I to select it from the loco list again(if not already diplayed on CS1 screen) ?
Does the CS1 screen display the speed (60km/h) and the status of the functions (Functions 1 & 3 activated)choosen on ipodtouch ?
Is it the same if I start driving on the CS1 then I go on iPodtouch: have I to select the loco from the locolist on iPod or not ? Does iPodtouch screen display the current speed and functions status choosen on CS1 ?
