Garmin Vector 3

HI

I have a problem linking the Garmin Vector 3 pedals and the Trainer road program on my pc. The program recognizes the pedals as a smart trainer and not as a powermeter. any solution?
I use Elite Rampa and Garmin Vector 3. I attached photos where you see the pairing sensor cadence and Vector 3. I used ant +

Garmin Vector 3 appears as a virtual trainer and not as a powermeter!

In the third photo I paired Garmin Vector 3 with the App Trainer road of my iphone via bluetooth and recognizes the powermeter.

Did you get a solution to your problem? I have used the V3s since July and can give you my experience if you are still having problems.

Hello

I have the problem today. thanks

Okay so I understand you are still experiencing a problem. Here is what I did maybe it helps maybe not.

When connecting via phone or laptop I use and /or get the following devices paired:

-Bkool smart pro 2 shows ERG mode option I touch nothing just ensure it is paired.

-Bkool smart pro 2 shows pwr and cadence option I SELECT CADENCE only

-Garmin Power meter I just make make sure it is paired but Donot touch any settings

-V3 - ensure it is paired and I calibrate it as well. HOWEVER I ALWAYS USE MY EDGE 810 AND FIRST PAIR THE V3S TO THE 810 THEN I PAIR THE V3 DEVICE ON TR App

  • Garmin speed/cadence only pair device

  • Garmin HR monitor only pair device

The above routine is what I do and my power shows up good on both the Edge 810 and the TR diplay.

When I tried to synced the Garmin Power meter and or the BKool Pwr meter I had problems so I keep the devices paired but dont touch any of the settings.

I know it sounds a little crazy but it works so I have just gone with it.

I hope this helps let me know how it goes.

I have only used the V3s on the road once and they worked like a charm.

Any fix yet? I have the same issue.

I have been using the Vector 3S (left side only) over the last year and it’s worked very well mostly.

I recently decided to upgrade to the right had pedal as well and hoped to see the pedal stroke analytics on TR. Whilst both pedals are paired I can’t see how to access the pedal stroke info.

Can anyone advise how to do this?

(I have only a Bolt, no Garmin head unit)

I downloaded Garmin app on my iPhone and I only get left/right balance info on outside rides - don’t quite understand why - so can’t help with that.

Hope this helps

Without going back and reading all the previous posts, I will say that dual-sided info only comes up on ant+ and iOS I believe. I could be wrong but it’s a strange combo for sure since iPhones don’t have ant+ natively. I did get it to work by plugging in an ant+ dongle to my iPhone. I didn’t find the info overly relevant to doing the workouts but just did it to ensure both pedals were in fact reading.
Another option is to run a headhunt simultaneously with trainerroad and use ant+ on the head unit and bluetooth for trainerroad.
Hope this is correct and helps.
