Can not connect Fenix 5s to Wahoo Kickr Core via Bluetooth

Former Member over 5 years ago

I am unable to connect my Fenix 5s to the Wahoo Kickr Core via Bluetooth. When I try and look for sensors for the Fenix 5s, I see one that shows up for ANT+ and one that shows up for Bluetooth. The ANT+ connection can be added and connects properly, but the Bluetooth one is identified but it never connects. Why is that? The Kickr Core power meter seems to be able to connect to my phone just fine using Bluetooth. Anyone else seeing this issue?

My fenix 5x can broadcast HR to your ANT device. I haf to get an ANT usb dongle to pickup the signal .

The expectation for data would be the power, speed, and cadence but not the HRM coming from your watch. You may be able to do what "8075814" has done as a workaround but it depends on entirely on your Kickr Core and its abilities. Ultimately, they determine overall compatibility. Your watch will incorporate what it can using ANT+ and Bluetooth when connected.
