help on hooking up a garmin or phone app

[Cavi]

So I pick up my Rise on Thurs. I currently ride a Levo and run Blevo from a android phone. I also have a Garmin edge 1030. So what phone apps are there for the rise , and how exactly do I hook up a Garmin as my main display to see speed, cadence and battery. Step by step would help

Just read the manual....it's quite good on this point.

Thanks, I just downloaded the manual.

I got it working following the manual

E-tube app on the phone to set assist levels and Garmin 530 on the handlebar to show battery percentage, expected range, assist level etc.
Works fine.

FWIW, I just sold both my Garmin 830 and my wife's Garmin 1030 because they are so awful for MTB navigation (and don't get me started on Garmin watches for navigation - not even an option). I ended up with an iPhone and a QuadLock case/mount, and I'm using a combination of Strava, GPS Tracks, Shimano eTube Ride, and TrailForks. You can get all of that same information on eTube Ride.

I pick mu bike up on thurs so we will see if the e-tube app gives me everything than I might just use it as i own a android phone just for biking...

SO, I´we read that many had problems making the Rs toolbox work with Garmin. Is it still that hard?

I would love to get a Garmin watch (Forerunner 245) but won't if it won't work flawless with the Rise, since the main reason is to see battery percentage during rides.
