WiFi 0200 Error

Garmin is continuing to work to fully resolve the Wifi 0200 error that some users are seeing.  We expect to have a software update in the near future that fully resolves this for all impacted devices. 

In the meantime, we have a workaround that we can recommend.  This workaround will work on the following devices:

  • vívoactive 3 Music
  • vívoactive 4
  • Venu
  • Forerunner 645 Muisc
  • Fenix 5 + Series

To complete the workaround, use the following steps:

  1. Visit http://download.garmin.com/pub_cert/root_ca/general/general-ca-bundle2.pem
  2. Right click the page and select Save As
  3. Save the file to your desktop as general-ca-bundle.crt
  4. Connect your watch to the computer*
  5. Put the file in the Garmin folder
  6. Disconnect the watch from the computer and the file will install

This workaround will not work on Forerunner 245 Music, Forerunner 945, fenix 6 Series, or MARQ Series.  The fix for these devices is still in progress and expect to have public beta in the near future. 

*Mac users will need to use Android File Transfer to get your watch to go into mass storage.  You will need to fully Quit the Garmin Express program to run the Android File Transfer program. 

  • When will there be an option for garmin 245?? 

  • For those of you that still keep getting either the 0200 or the 0105 error (I also got a new 0705-error after this workaround, they all seem similar): try connecting tot a 2.4Ghz WiFi network instead of a 5Ghz network. I'm now using my phone's tethered WiFI connection and it's synching beautifully. I did have to remove my home (5Ghz) network first as the watch would preferably connect to this network, resulting in any of the aforementioned errors. Thank you Garmin for this (temporary) fix!

    1. Doesn’t work on my vivoactive 4... I have 14 days to return my device, in case there is no fix, unfortunately I have to return this device. I bought it because of the Spotify feature.
  • For me (Venu, and in NL) it is not working after the workaround. I hope it can be fixed soon, or else I will return my device.

    Same here, can't get it to work, even with the workaround. Might return it as this was one of the key features to me.

  • Omg you are a genius!!! Did this and it synched my spotify beautifully!!! THANK YOU! 

  • This is BS. The bug is now known for almost more than a month. I find this out after I buy the watch. How come the retailers are not aware of this problem? Is there an ETA of the new software patch?

    works for me now! Make sure you do the workaround correctly. Do not only change the extension (PEM to CRT) but remove the “2” as well;-) 

    i couldn’t believe it, but Spotify is finally working now.

    having other problems now, I can’t seem to switch off the vibrations....(off topic)

  • I just received my new Garmin 945... and i have the same "0200 error". When will it be fixed for the 945 ?

    I bought this model especially or the Music (Spotify) feature.... and i'm stuck ! VERY VERY disappointing

  • I had a similar issue with WiFi and after a lot of trial, I tried connecting to my mobile hotspot and it worked.
