Hello.

A friend kindly gave me his old Garmin Edge 800 so I could see my power and cadence when riding outdoors.

Unfortunately I can't get it to connect to my 4iiii Precision 2.0 LH Crank PM (nor will it connect to a old wahoo tickr or new lifeline speed and cadence sensors) via ANT+. Have tried factory reset and firmware update, and the alternative method of connecting - by entering the sensor id, but with no luck. Have also tried away from the house in case router was interfering with signal.

Is it likely that the antenna is bust? If so can I do anything to fix it?

If not I will sell it as a nav and recording device only and will buy something else cheap to do the job. Any recommendations? Not fussed on maps etc. Just want that sweet, sweet data!

Many thanks.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
