Epic 2 Pro States compatibility with Varia Vision in the specs but it isn’t working

I have read several of the other threads regarding this same issue, but I just received my Garmin Epix 2 Pro 51MM and the specs explicitly state that it is compatible with the varia vision.  I can get the device to connect, but none of the data screens come through.  

My question is, am I missing something in the config that has changed since my Forerunner 945 or is the spec sheet just misleading and there is no support for the device?

  • It seems the answer fully depends on who you talk to.  Some people state it's possible that there will be forward compatibility while others say it's a lost cause.  I can't imagine that this would be a terribly difficult software update, but it seems they have abandoned the possibility of making this work.  

    I'm wondering if there is a workaround, as it seems the Vision is compatible with the Edge 1030, and so is the Epix.  If we use a 1030 to pair to the vision and we send data from the epix to the 1030, maybe that will work?  Overkill for sure on tech, but a possible hot fix for those of us that really care about the Vision.
