You need to upload the .fit file from your Garmin to ZP. ZP knows about the 4iiii data but is unaware of the Kickr data on the Garmin. Does this answer the question?
thank you for the reply, my Garmin is not paired with the 4iiii, as I thought this would bring in another data field, does the power meter need to be paired as well as the KickR. Next question, how do I upload from my Garmin to Zwift power, please? Sorry for not being the tech wizard here.
I have read that. The data I am looking for. Does my garmin need to be paired with 4iiii power crank, do I pair of the zwift pairing screen with my KickR or my crank
I seem to be uploading two identical files which are the same I think. I have dyslexia which makes this super tough also
You can also do the opposite if you like then you will pair the 4iiii with Zwift and your smart trainer with the garmin. I prefer to use the smart trainer as power source and controllable on Zwift.
one power source should be paired to the garmin (your secondary power unit, whichever one you’re not using as a power source on zwift) and your primary power unit pairs to zwift. it’s up to you which one you want to use as your primary and which one you want to use as your secondary, it doesn’t matter. if you are having problems, make sure:
GPS settings are turned off on the garmin
you haven’t paired 1 source to both zwift and your garmin
other than that, it should be fine. just make sure to actually press record on the garmin before your event starts
no problem. i was wondering why i couldn’t dual record too when i first started. I use an old garmin 510 for dual recording and you have to turn the GPS off manually every time you want to record an indoor activity… i think newer head units have an indoor function
still cannot sort this out, in zwift power, it is showing power meter and Kickr with same id, is there a way to clear this. Therefore both data sets are identical. I have downloaded the fit file from garmin connect but its the same as the wahoo kickr on zwift which I downloaded form zwift activity
These files can’t be the same if you paired Zwift to the one power source and the Garmin to the other. Are you sure you are not taking the fit file that zwift sent to garmin connect? If Zwit and garmin sent to garmin connect you will have two fit files.
try uploading the .fit file to zwiftpower from the garmin manually by using a USB cable and pulling it out of the “activities” folder. if it’s still giving you two identical power files then you’ve probably just paired the same unit to both the garmin and zwift
I deleted my kickr off the garmin 820, the only thing that is on the comp is HRM and Power meter, I then set power source on zwift to Kickr, cadence still comes from 4iiii but that should be fine. When I took the original file off garmin connect, it is a zip file and needs converting to a fit file, before uploading to zwift power.I just dont know where I am going wrong
