Hello Zwift developers and BU,
To begin, I have already submitted my “Idea” to Garmin about requesting to add this support, I also opened another Topic in Garmin Forums requesting answer (there’re several topics there about the same request) and they replied the following:
Garmin answer:
"Thanks for reaching out.
There have been several threads on this topic since the first rollout of Zwift’s virtual shifting function. We are continuing to investigate bringing more compatibility and more features to Tacx trainers, and will share more details when available.
Some 3rd party apps can bridge smart trainer connections and allow virtual shifting support in Zwift. A true integration of Tacx hardware with Zwift software involves both parties, and it would be equally helpful for Tacx users to ask Zwift about expanding their virtual shifting support.
I appreciate your patience, I will be updating several threads regarding this feature request when more info is available."
I am user of Garmin TACX Neo 2T and Neo3M trainers which as most of cycling users know are by far the best indoor trainers in the market, that’s why I am not going to purchase wahoo or any other brand. Instead, I am kindly requesting to expand Virtual Shifting support to Garmin TACX trainers, we’re several users of this brand waiting for this feature to be supported, and personally I’ll purchase the Zwift Ride bike as soon as it is supported in my trainer. I have also contacted Zwift Support the other day and they said they were going to communicate this idea to the zwift BU, however they also advise to open a topic in Zwift Forums and here I am. As you can see, per Garmin’s answer there should be a collaboration in between Zwift and Garmin to make this happen.
Could you please comment on this request, I will really appreciate it.
Thank you.
