- Different brands do different stuff. Not all offer the same function or options.
Right, the Kickr does not offer a “headless” version from what I understand. What you can do is access the Kickr with a mobile device using the Wahoo app or a head unit, and pair it as a smart trainer. Once that is done, you probably would like using the “Level Mode” to get the results you want.
Fitness app control:
Head unit control (may or may not be an option in Garmin too?):

In either case above, you need an external control to the trainer to set it in that mode. There is no default “headless” mode like Saris.
