Fenix 6 Gets Connect IQ System 5 – Latest CIQ Update now in beta

Garmin Fenix 6 Gets Connect IQ System 5

 

 

If you want to update your Fenix 6 to get CIQ5 support then you’ll need beta version 20.82 available here:

There are several other, small tweaks in this package, perhaps the most noteworthy being the inclusion of HRrest in True-Up which synchronises HRrest across all your Garmin devices.

 

Change Log for version 20.50 => 20.82

  • Added support for Connect IQ system 5.
  • Added the Resting Heartrate True-Up feature. RHR data now gets trued up so that all devices tied to the same account will have the same RHR value.
