Need the ability to turn off radar sounds quickly.

Hi jmejiaa !

What kind of device do you have your radar paired with? 

On the Edge 830, you can go to the list of sensors > select the radar > sensor details > radar alert settings > tones > single tone

This would make the sound itself much shorter than the multi tone.

If you prefer to keep the multi tone, during a ride, swipe down from the top of the screen to see the status widget. You will see "sensors". If you tap this, it is a quick way to get to the list of sensors. Then tap on the paired radar and tap enable to temporarily disable the radar. 

Right. This is what I do now. I have a light network so I have to go into lights and then the radar.This means I need to disable the light network. I can't disable just the radar.

That's 12 taps on the screen in the middle of a ride (counting getting back to the home screen) to turn 1 tone on/off. I do this twice every ride. That's fairly inconvenient.

The request here is to allow it either through a widget or data screen so I can do it much quicker without fumbling through all these screens.

Why it can't be just a one tap from the varia widget?

Always during a group ride I am disabling sounds of my radar because people around really appreciate the silence.

Allowing the Garmin Remote to be programed to turn off the Varia sound would be ideal.

Allowing to turn off sound using d-fly channel of shimano di2 buttons would be ideal

I sure would like this too - my use case is pretty much the same and a quicker way to enable/disable the sounds would be great.

Yes, the best solution

Using D-Fly channel of shimano di2 buttons would be great to toggle the Radar tones - I had just tried doing that unsuccessfully before coming across this thread...
