About this app

When paired with a compatible Garmin Varia radar device¹, the Varia app has the tools you need to ride with confidence. Using the Varia app, you can:
• Be alerted right on your phone when approaching vehicles are within 140 meters behind your bicycle.
• View color-coded alerts based on surrounding traffic: Green means you’re all clear, yellow means a vehicle is approaching and red means a vehicle is coming at you quickly and you should take caution.
• Receive tone and vibration alerts for approaching vehicles even when you’re not looking at your phone.

With a compatible Garmin Varia Radar Camera Tail Light or Garmin Varia Vue Camera Headlight, you can:
• Set the camera in the best position for capturing videos and photos.
• Record videos or take photos and save them while riding with a simple button press on your phone.
• Automatically record videos of incidents and save the video footage with the Incident Recording feature.

With a Varia Vue Camera Headlight, you can:
• Configure light mode configurations for your headlight.
• Add an optional Vault subscription, which automatically backs up your Varia Vue videos and provides easy access in the Varia app for searching, filtering and sharing.

By adding the Varia eRTL615 Radar Tail Light for eBikes, you can:
• Configure and edit light mode configurations for your tail light.

Easy to Use
Pairing your Garmin Varia devices with the app is quick and easy. Once you set them up, the Varia app will automatically recognize your devices.

Even if you already have a Varia device paired with a compatible Garmin device or head unit, the Varia app provides additional awareness and peace of mind while riding.

¹ Compatible devices are the Varia RVR315 Rearview Radar, Varia RTL515 Radar Tail Light, Varia RCT715 Radar Camera Tail Light, Varia eRTL615 Radar Tail Light for eBikes and Varia Vue Camera Headlight.
