I'm still waiting the Virtual Partner in my FR235...

If an advertised feature is not present out-of-the-box and not delivered in accordance with the officially published (hence expressly promised – none of this “inherent” or “implied” balderdash) time-frame, then I trust consumer law would allow customers who bought the product informed by such an advertisement or company statement (as opposed to hearsay, such as reading about it secondhand from a product review published by a respected reviewer in the industry, who is nevertheless not a company representative) to return the product as not being as described and/or not fit for purpose as marketed by the supplier. The individual customer can demand a ‘repair’ but cannot force the manufacturer or retailer to deliver what he/she wants, and at most he/she can obtain a full refund to undo the unsatisfactory commercial exchange, without any third party unduly concerned about ensuring or facilitating a commercial exchange that is wholly satisfactory from the purchaser's perspective.

Note: I have a FR235. I didn't buy it for the Virtual whatever feature, I never even noticed it being advertised – and by the time I actually considered the model, all mention of such features have long been removed from Garmin's marketing collateral and product descriptions – and I certainly don't see the FR235 as not-as-described or not-fit-for-purpose to warrant my returning it for refund and giving it up.
