Ryinc Posted March 15, 2016 Share Not correct. Your Garmin can pick up the trainer via ant and display the watts, cadence and speed and therefor record your ride, but you cannot control the resistance from the Garmin as the Garmin is a receiving device only using ANT. The only info the Garmin can send out is to download a historic ride via bluetooth.No i think i am correct and i think you are wrong. Have you read the dc rainmaker review? It clearly says the 520 device can be used to control resistance trainers with Ant FE-C protocol ad a new feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThanksI am using the Bushido with a desktop computer. I am using ANt+ with absolute no problems. I use the TACX ANT adapter on my computor. On setup you select Tacx Smart Trainer and it connects with no issues.Also connected it to my Android phone via Bluetooth without any issues.
