On the latest version for both app and bike . Have double checked both ,Garmin has sent me a beta firmware will load that up if that is what’s need to make it function
Thanks’
You need to be on version 4.5.0 which is the beta. If you’re on 0.0.46 that’s not going to enable steering

I appreciate the update for steering on Tacx neo Bike plus. I also have the Zwift play paddles. They are not playing well together. Sometimes I have been able to use the paddles along with Neo bike plus steering, but most of the time it shows a conflict. Can you tell me how to solve this? I don’t know how to turn tacx Bike steering off. There is no option for that in their app. And when I simply try to click on the two paddles, it won’t allow it.
Thanks ,got the correct version. Had an issue, after downloading . the blu would come up on the zwift app and then drop ,my understanding is you have to use blu to connect or the steering will not work when you are using ant, that appeared the case, but what i found was on the PC the Neo was showing up as a Blu device i had to delete it as a device when i reconnected it no longer shows up on the devices list but everything functions as it should . in the interim i did try it with connect to the phone that did work , i guess if someone else is having an issue with the app connecting to blu then stopping that might be the issue . Could you confirm that the steering only works when your connected to blu and doesn’t when you use ant
Thanks for your time, I think this will add another cool layer to Zwift …

Found a device connection issue. I’ve got the bike paired on ant as FEC for controllable and cadence and power. Won’t connect as a steering device, just doesn’t appear in the list.
Pair any one of the three and then it can be paired as steering (over Bluetooth).
Change the device back to ant, steering still shows connected but no steering functionality despite the little blue steering on bubble displaying.
BTW, I didn’t see it above, but the link to install the 4.5 firmware is available in the garmin forums. Can’t post it here unfortunately, but if you search for it you will find it.
You can’t get the upgrade currently through the regular app firmware update tool.
I can report a similar experience to what @Steve_Clogg_PACK_LEA outlined.
My gear:
–Tacx Neo Bike Smart (Beta firmware 4.5.0, still the latest over a year after being released)
–Zwift 1.74 running on tvOS 18.0
–Bike is paired directly to the Apple TV, not through Zwift Companion
Results:
–Steering works fine
–Gear indicator works with 2x11 gears configured on the bike.
–Gear indicator does not work (nothing shown) with 2x12 gears configured.
Would be cool to see this fixed for 12 speed!

Zwift will not show the gears for Tacx Neo Bike Plus unless you are using a 2-11 setup. This bug has been present since very beginning and I am quite sure Zwift knows about that (@evan-zwift). Honestly, the gear display in Zwift is not very usable: it just shows indexes instead of the actual tooth counts, despite the bike broadcasting both of them. As a cyclist, you think in terms of 53/14 or 39/23, not 2/7 or 1/9. Thankfully, the bike has a display that gives you the info you need, but I get that some folks might want to capture their rides on video and showing gears could be helpful.

And this is why I hope they never fix the 2x12 issue, or have it user-configurable to turn off if they do.
