Varia Mobile App 5.0.0 doesn't have Radar Threat mode switch

Tim_B34 11 days ago

Last winter Garmin updated the RTL515 firmware and the Varia Mobile App to allow users in France and other countries to disable Radar Threat mode (flashing when vehicules approach - forbidden at night in France since November 2024).

Instructions for how to control this are posted here

RE: Varia rtl515 forbiden in France

These instructions required Varia Mobile App v3.3.0

The current version (5.0.0) no longer has the "Radar Threat Mode" switch

New app:

Can you put this back please?

In the absence of any official responses I have uninstalled the latest version of the Varia App and manually installed v3.3.0 (APK file downloaded from apkmirror and auto-update then turned off on Android - I don't really like doing this but it gives the Threat Mode switch back)

I can confirm the option is available with both the RTL515 and RearVue 820 using app version 5.0.1 (IOS).

Thanks.

I will check again when 5.0.1 is available for Android

We are planning a update that will resolve this shortly. We will post once this goes live. Thanks all!
