Hello all, and thank you for your participation on this topic.
As many users have pointed out, Zwift's virtual shifting feature relies on more than just the connected smart trainer (in this case, the NEO…
Garmin,
We need this update! Please update the Firmware to include virtual shifting.
thanks
As per the response from GPlama we as a community need to request this from Tacx...................... COME ON Garmin/Tacx get on with enabling virtual shifting
I have yet to try it but heard it’s a game changer. I have my Neo 2T up for sale and someone has put in a concrete offer.. I think I will accept the offer and try out a new setup. I don’t think I have ever turned road feel on and I have yet to hit 1000W.. never mind 2200W
Garmin asked me to respond.
Thank you for your inquiry. Garmin has carefully considered the request to implement virtual shifting into its smart trainers to address customer demand and adapt our products to be competitive into the future. Based on our research, we conclude that our customers should just be happy they are permitted own our devices. Therefore, we will not be making any updates to our TACX line of smart trainers to accommodate virtual shifting, even though Zwift gave us the blueprint and it would require one of our trained programmers approximately 2 hours to implement. To accommodate our customers who are unhappy with this decision, we are offering a 5% discount off the MSRP+5% of a new TACX trainer without virtual shifting so you have can two trainers that don't virtually shift. We will continue to not provide customer service to our valued customers by continuing to ignore this forum and any requests for product improvement. We thank you for your inquiry and believe our response demonstrates how much we care about our valued and loyal customers.
Love,
Garmin
P.S.
Screw you. Hahahahaha!
(This is parody in case Garmin's lawyers decide to take this seriously... I can't believe I have to write this to CYA...)
Garmin/Tacx: Please don't make me sell my Tacx Neo 2T and buy a Wahoo Kickr Move instead. Somehow make this Zwift feature of Virtual Shifting work. This is a Killer-Feature!
