Varia 515 firmware version since May 2021

I've had v3.30 since May. Does anyone know how we can find details on each firmware update? And dates of prior firmware versions? I want to start tracking changes in case mine crashes and need to roll back an update. Thank you.

The Radar Channel management is a nice fix! Thanks.

Where did you find a 3.32 ?

I connected a fully charged Varia RTL515 to the computer, started Garmin Express and clicked the 'circle arrow' (to check for update) several times. After the 6th try my Varia RTL515 started to update.

The next instruction (Garmin Express) is to disconnect the Varia RTL515 from the computer and start the Varia RTL515. The result is that the small light on the side of the Varia RTL515 started to flicker green/blue in various patterns with various frequencies. I waited 5 minutes when the flickering stopped and reconnected the Varia RTL515 to the computer.

Now my Varia RTL515 is updated to version 3.32

Thanks Garmin

I have a edge 530 and Varia. Sometimes when riding the connection between them drop. Few seconds after reconnect. I hope this problem is solved now with this update, let's see.

In my case the update is shown directly on edge device. Don't cycle when updating because error occurred in my case 3 times.

Stop the bike , update and all right.

FW 3.32 still hasn't fixed my problems with the Edge 830. The light still changes mode on its own.

Yesterday, the light switched off when in traffic, and then back on again when they'd passed.

A complete shower of Scheiße.
