Garmin 530 in place of SC-e8000 display?

[Turtlehead]

Can I use my garmin in place of the sc-e8000 display?
I'd rather not have two computer screens on my handlebars.
I know it can pull the data, but I might need an adapter of some sort?
Anyone do this? Easy setup? Worth it?

I think you plug in the bluetooth adapter on the screen cable.
Only thing i would warn you about (so maybe take it with you on bigger trips) is you cant see error codes on the garmin.

Yes you can do that and yes adapter is needed. It is called EW-EN100 and it is connected instead e8000 display

so, right now with the shimano display installed, my bike/system already will connect to my phone via bluetooth
do I still need the EN100 in this case? (not sure if it's the display that's doing the bluetooth connection and once that's removed that's why I'd need the EN100?)

No… display e8000 is to old. It has blootooth but can't connect with Garmin. You can use Garmin with shimano display E7000 or with En100. Just decide you steel need display or Garmin is enough and buy one.

I can not synchronize Garmin Edge 830 with Shimano E8000 - Edge 830 - Cycling - Garmin Forums

Would I be able to open the etube app or something else on my phone to pull an error code in that case?
