ELEMNT, BOLT, and ROAM can now pair with rear view radar systems (like the Garmin Varia) following the same pairing procedure as any other ANT+ sensor (instructions here).
Note: Other ANT+ enabled tail lights (without radar functions) like those from Bontrager are not supported.
Requirements
- ELEMNT/BOLT/ROAM updated to firmware ending in 5027 (released 26 August, 2019) or newer
- If using the first generation Garmin Varia, it must be also be updated to the newest firmware
