When i m using Aero pod with a DFPM ...my garmin will read DFPM power or Aeropod power?...if I will set from isaac to forget DFPM..whats happen?..can i see slope, wind in profile 1 for exemple...because i calibrated my aero with a DFPM for cda and reading too low...same like old power meter (DFPM) and i don t want to see my old powermeter power on my garmin because it s not accurate

1) AeroPod rebroadcasts DFPM power. Select Aeropod in your Garmin

2) Do NOT "forget DFPM" in Isaac. If you do you will no longer receive CdA information

3) You are seeing DFPM data on your Garmin. Post a ride file and we will take a look.

If something is wrong with your DFPM, do a new sensor pairing in profile 4, making sure that your DFPM is off. You will see AeroPod power data in your window.

Should Wind display in profile 4 with Garmin IQ (1030) without having or using a DFPM?

I rode today in rain and was some problems after a descend... wind - 0...power data 0 or 20-30 watts..later was ok, but i m guessing i have to make a new calibration, even in my room wind is -3 m ..slope also not so good..what s happen when you are in a heavy rain?

Rain can be a problem if there is enough of it to block the wind port. Please post your .ibr ride file.

Once the wind port is cleared all will be well and you won't have to do a new calibration.
