Recently upgraded my Varia Radar to the newly released Varia RCT715 with Camera. Since then I'm experiencing multiple lost connections to the radar as well as to the Garmin Headlight UT-800.
Support has guided me through deleting and reconnecting both sensors, ensured all settings are correct, etc,. however the same issue persists on every ride. The headlight will disconnect after 5 minutes, and the radar will disconnect and reconnect intermittently. Also of note is that previously it was never necessary to enable the Light sensor, it always remembered the previous session but now it must always be re-enabled to activate any connection..
For safety reasons riding without a headlight or radar now seems unacceptable but my Edge 1030 running 13.4 isn't getting the job done. The only work-around (until Garmin gets this software issue handled) seems to be leaving the sensors disabled so that the Edge will NOT try connecting, turning the headlight on manually to the flash sequence I prefer, then connecting the radar/camera separately through the Varia app on my iPhone mounted to my bike, This isn't how the Edge 1030 was marketed and designed to operate but repeatedly dropping it's correctly-paired sensors is totally frustrating, not to mention creating potentially dangerous situations while riding.
Maybe it's that the new RCT715 has an issue that conflicts when paired alongside other devices? Maybe it's that the Edge 1030 software version is too confused by multiple sensors? I'm leaning to the latter but PLEASE Garmin...address these issues asap! Too many of your loyal customers deserve better.
