My RTL515 variant has just within the last two days started to act up, it constantly disconnects and will not reconnect, unless I remove and readd the device,  Then it works for a short amount of time (10 minutes) and the same reconnection issue reoccurs.  Garmin needs to resolve before sometime hit hit by a car and then a huge lawsuit will be brought against them.  Hope they understand how serious this is for safety of bikers.

    Check if your button is stuck. I had this on a 510, it was stuck due to the dust of years in the gap between button and casing. My 515 has some tape over the button because of this.

    I think a lot of people overestimate the relevance of Varia in street traffic. If a car hits you, it will not be because the light wasn’t connected to your computer or showed E09, it was because the driver did something wrong.
    We as cyclists still have to use our eyes before switching lanes or turning.
