How do I get a Garmin Cadence Sensor 2 to pair with an iPhone?

Bicycles Asked on April 26, 2021

I have bought a Garmin Cadence Sensor 2. After installing it on the bike and rotating the cranks to wake it up, theoretically I should be able to pair it with my iPhone but it doesn’t appear in Bluetooth Settings. The documentation is abysmal and doesn’t go into any useful detail on the pairing procedure. What’s the trick to get it to show up?

(The iPhone is a 12 Mini running iOS 14.2, but I couldn’t get it to work with my iPhone X on iOS 13 either.)

The Garmin Cadence Sensor 2 will not pair with an iPhone via the Garmin Connect app, nor directly from iOS Bluetooth Settings. You need to use an entirely different app—I have successfully paired it via Cadence and the Wahoo iOS app.

It seems like it could work using their Garmin Connect App.

See Page 5 below.

See this snippet too:

However, I think optimally this thing is designed to be used with a bike computer Garmin Head Unit vs. a phone as I am not sure how it will display the cadence info as you ride. Note I never used my phone as a bike computer so perhaps there is a way to do that.
