What are you using for Zwift? If you don’t already have ANT+ it means you’re already using Bluetooth? The HRM-Dual works with Bluetooth.

Hello @Gaetan_Chauvin welcome to Zwift forum.
I work at Zwift HQ, and see that you are using a Tacx Flux trainer in-game connected to a Windows computer.

It appears that the trainer is successfully connecting using Bluetooth, yes? The Garmin HRM-Dual broadcasts in both Bluetooth and ANT+, so it should be able to connect to your laptop without a dongle.

If you must use ANT+ to connect the Garmin Dual HRM, you can use the Zwift Companion app on your iPhone plus a bridge like the NPE CABLE device. I am personally not familiar with the CooSpo dongle, but many members here use the NPE CABLE succesfully.

We have a support article with an overview of ANT+ vs. Bluetooth for different computers and smartphones. If you are a French speaker, the entire Support site is available in French: Présentation de ANT+ et BLE

I think and ANT+ dongle will be cheaper and it wont introduce another device in the mix.

From personal experience ANT+ is much more stable than bluetooth, especially with all the bluetooth devices around the house.
