I just got my Varia Vision and it asked for me to connect for the latest update. I did and it is updated to 2.40 and Garmin Connect says I'm up to date but when I try to connect again with my 520, it says it requires a software update. Anyone else having this issue?
The way Garmin does updates present constant circular problems. When will they figure out approaches that don't present endless problems for customers?
When I connect my Varia Vision, Garmin Express tells me it's up to date, v 3.10. But when I try to connect the Varia Vision to my Edge 1000, the Edge shows an error message claiming the Varia Vision require a software update and says to use the Garmin Express application to install the latest software. So I do that yet again and get the same messages. Round and round I go and nothing works. A dozen times already. Could not be more FUBAR Garmin. I have much better things to do with my time that wasting it trying to correct Garmin's sloppy software.
To follow up when the Varia Vision connects to the Edge 1000 it immediately disconnects and the Edge shows the error message. Tried removing the sensor and adding it again with the same result. My conclusion? Yet another Garmin screw up. Garmin has rendered its own product useless.

You need to actually initiate the update on the Varia Vision itself as soon as it's downloaded, Garmin Express only downloads and copies the update to the device. As soon as this happens, you need to switch Varia Vision on and start the update installation. If you don't do it immediately, the update somehow gets deleted and the next time you switch it on, it says the FW is out of date. I had wasted quite some time until I figured out how it works. If the update was preserved on the device (as is the case for every other Garmin device), then it wouldn't be a problem.
