ANT+ dongle and cable

[Neville Bailey]

Whereabouts in the Durban area can I buy an ANT+ dongle and cable?

 

I want to connect from my sensors to my MacBook while using my indoor trainer and Zwift.

Ah, so not to connect the trainer, just the speed/cadence.

 

Sportsworld has three:

I would imagine any better place selling Garmin watches might have, not sure if the newer watches need them though, so they might not stock them?

OK, so I ordered an ANT+ dongle from Sportsworld and it arrived today, and it works perfectly with Zwift on my MacBook Pro.

 

However, when I tried using the Zwift app on my Apple TV, I discovered that the Apple TV does not work with ANT+ and only works with Bluetooth Smart. The trouble is that all my sensors are only ANT+.

 

I then read DCRainmaker's review of Zwift on the Apple TV, and he said that one can buy an ANT+ to BLE convertor called "CABLE (Connect ANT+ to BLE)". Amazon stocks them but they don't ship to SA, and I can't find any local suppliers that stock that device.

 

Does anyone know where I can order one locally?

This one can act as a bridge, I believe:
