Garmin, Wahoo and iPad

Seeking some advice on a setup for my friend’s training setup. Can anybody confirm that the Wahoo Fitness Key for iPhone will allow his iPad to:

  1. Connect all sensors for his workouts (Garmin HRM, Cadence, Wahoo KICKR)
  2. Upload his workouts from his Garmin Forerunner 910XT to Garmin Connect/Trainingpeaks
  3. Work with Trainerroad app for iOS

It’s an older iPad 2 so Bluetooth is only 2.0 which limits his options for Wahoo sensors using Bluetooth Smart. With ANT+ as his only option at the moment will this setup work?

Thanks for the insights on this.

From my understanding, Yes. As long as you have the key it will make everything ANT+. I use my Garmin 500 on my wahoo kickr as well as custom workouts on Trainer Road, which I then download to Training Peaks.

Not trying to highjack the thread, but does anyone use the Wahoo computer and BT for racing? I use a laptop and ANT stick for Trainer Road, but not sure if it’s worth the investment into the Wahoo bike computer and sensor. Thanks.

Will the above setup allow him/her to perform the initial setup?
