![]() ![]() If you crack open the app and go to the ‘Settings’ menu’, then look at your sensors list and tap the bike radar sensor. Speaking of the app, there’s a few radar specific changes you can make, depending on which unit you have. Now, you can also do this setup from the Wahoo app as well if you’d like instead. When you do so it’ll give you two pages of warnings that tell you that if the radar fails it’s either your fault or Garmin’s fault, but that it’s definitely not Wahoo’s fault.Īnd you’re done. Once within the other sensor category, then select your radar device: Ironically, this is also where trainers and tire pressure sensors go too. Seriously, just create a category called ‘Radar’. Which, if I were to nitpick anything – it’d be this. Wahoo stashes the radar sensor within the ‘other’ sensor category. It’ll come back with a list of nearby things. On your ELEMENT/BOLT/ROAM, go into the sensor pairing menu by holding the left-hand button and selecting Add Sensors. Note that you can use either of the two Garmin Varia radar units here: I’ll do this mostly on the ROAM, but it’s identical here on all of them. ![]() ![]() Simply turn on the radar, and add it as a sensor (just like a heart rate sensor), and you’re done. But seriously, this takes like 7 seconds. Sometimes when I write all the steps out people might presume it takes a long time to setup. And in fact, last month Stages committed to adding ANT+ radar support in their next Stages Dash firmware update due out this fall ( also in the comments section of my preview post). ![]() Speaking of which, while Garmin is currently the only maker of cycling radar units, it actually follows the ANT+ Radar Device Profile, so anyone can produce a radar unit – or radar support. More or less the feature works the same as on the Garmin units. And on the ELEMNT and ROAM which have side LED’s, you can also use those instead of the screen. This update allows you to see on your Wahoo bike computer cars coming up behind you, complete with notification for multiple vehicles and high-speed cars. It didn’t take long though for Wahoo’s CEO to commit to it, in the comments section of the review no less, and they’ve now delivered on that promise (earlier than expected in fact). Support for Garmin’s Varia radar series continues to be one of the most popular requests I see come across the site, and back in May, when the ROAM released, many of you were disappointed at the lack of support. On the bright side, at least you have a museum piece for your kids. For the 7 people still rockin’ the old school RFLKT, you’re unfortunately out of luck. Today Wahoo has rolled out support for ANT+ radar units to their entire lineup of GPS bike computers, including the original Wahoo ELEMNT, the BOLT, and the new ROAM. ![]()
