Pairing Garmin 500 new cadence sensor
Does anyone know how to do this? Garmin technical support isn't available until Monday. The cadence sensor instructions say consult the computer manual. The problem is the 500 manual isn't updated for the new sensor. I think I should see options to scan or rescan but all that comes up are rescan.

Specify "speed and cadence" rather than "speed/cadence" when you go to pair them. you'll have to select "speed/cadence" at first and let it fail, but then the new menu items will appear under "speed/cadence" that will let you select the correct profile.

I used Windows 10 with Explorer and that sometimes doesnt work. I ended up setting up a new Garmin connect account and re-entered the Edge SN
