Pairing Decoy with Garmin GPS

[Punisher]

Do somebody success to pair Garmin GPS with Decoy?
Decoy bluetooth looks like shutdown before my Garmin is able to detect it

 

[lamomie]

the garmin and the decoy communicate via the ant private protocol, if you have an edge 530,830,1030, you do a sensor search on the edge and it will connect directly to the bike, and in a profile, you add the parameter shimano steps 8000 which will show you all the bike data

I have an Edge 520. I will try this. Thanks

Did it work?

I do not think the edge 520 will work. At least my wifes is not detecting the e-bike. Hopefully Garmin will fix that...(yeah I know..)

 

[Punisher]

Waiting my Decoy come back to test it.

 

[Astom22]

I ended up buying the 530 and it paired up easily and quick. Love it!

Yeah, if you know, you know

Want to by a 530?

No thanks, no need for another Garmin GPS, already have five. BTW I use my Edge explore to see what is the actual battery status of my wifes bike when we are biking. It is not a big problem, I just like it when I can connect stuff....my wife does not care

anyone know if it will work with a Wahoo?

Super psyched to find this thread. My Edge 830 paired seamlessly. I dig the ability to see "distance to empty" and the percentage of boost being provided. Very cool.

Hopefully I don't crash from looking too much

Currently does not work. Confirmed by YT.

Mark’s app works with my new Vivoactive watch. Hated not being able to see exact battery percentage of my bike.

Is "Mark's app"available on the Garmin IQ Store?

Yes. There is a big thread on these forums about it. I think it’s under the shimano section, but can’t remember.
Just search “shimano” on the garmin App Store and it should pop up if your device is compatible. Not all garmin watches are for some reason.

Edit: Also the creator of the app uses these forums, so I’m sure he can help answer questions.

Looking at adding a Wahoo or Garmin to my Decoy.
For those who added it did you have to use the
Shimano adapter for ANT or did you pair it directly
to the main unit?

 

[YokoOno]

Garmin Edge 830 pairs directly to Shimano. It's simple, works well and provides very useful info. No adapter needed.

My understanding is that Wahoo does not pair directly, but I do not know for sure.

 

[Armeniandave]

YokoOno thank you for the reply. I'm looking at the 530.
Anyone with a 530 pair directly also?

 

[YokoOno]

YokoOno thank you for the reply. I'm looking at the 530.

per Garmin, Edge 530 pairs just like an 830

Does anyone have a picture of the display on the Garmin,
preferably a 530, showing the fields? I'm mostly getting
it because it's hard to see the small display with my eyes
and the Garmin looks much bigger font wise. Thank you in
advance!

 

[Armeniandave]

Never mind I bought the Garmin 530 and have already used it.
Works great so far just wish the font was a bit bigger!!
