Fenix 6X Pro and Tacx Neo 2T

Former Member over 4 years ago

Hi all,

I can not get my Fenix Saphire 6X Pro to connect to my Tacx Neo 2T smarttrainer.

Works fine with Zwift but I would like VO2Max info so I would also like to connect it to my Fenix too, at the same time with Zwift.

If I try to add new sensors on my Fenix it sees nothing ... Zwift is over Ant+.

Has anyone done that? What am i missing? It should work, not?

Many thanks in advance.

Regards,

Kris;

Use the Tacx Utility App to enable ANT+ from the Neo.

Thanks for your answer but I connect Zwift through ANT+ so it is on. I also don’t see how you can do this through the Tacx Utility app.

Thanks, Kris

Are you sure you're not using FEC for your Zwift connection?

I use Zwift with my Neo 2 and FEC. My 6X Pro Solar cannot see FEC and it needs ANT+ to be enabled in the app. I'm out at the moment, but when I get home I can connect to my trainer and get a screen print of the ANT+ switch. I could not find examples online.

Mind you, I have a Neo 2. Maybe the 2T is different.

Yes, I am sure, I use an ANT+ dongle on my windows laptop to connect Zwift to my Neo 2T and it works very well.

What do you mean with FEC, bluetooth? That does not work to connect Zwift to my Neo 2T on my WIN 10 (rather older) laptop.

I really don't see in the utility app where can enable ant+ (and I'm quite sure it is on by default), so a screenshot would be great. I've been looking a lot online for a solution to connect my Fenix to the Neo 2T, could not find it ...

Thanks, this confirms it should work. I'm just not seeing any of my smart trainer sensors (power, cadans) on my Fenix 6X, so something is missing .. Thanks again for your help.

On the Neo 2 ANT+ is disabled by default and needs to be enabled for Fenix watches.

Note that with ANT+ enabled Zwift can see the standard ANT+ signal, which the watch needs, as well as the FE-C connection, which I use for Zwift, but is invisible to the watch.

All right, that's it! Did not look there but after putting this to on my 6X directly saw the power and cadans sensors from my NEO 2T...

Wow, been looking for this for a long time , happy it finally works... thanks a lot for your help, very kind!

All right that explains why Zwift is working over ANT+ protocol with my dongle but the watch did not see it... All clear, very helpful.
