The Karoo is a stand-alone android bike computer. Similar to most current smartphones, you will not have the option to tether data via Bluetooth.
You will be able to connect the Karoo via Wi-Fi to your phone's hotspot, although we don't recommend it, because it will increase your mobile phone's data costs (if applicable) and is an inefficient use of Karoo's battery power.

If I do not run with a SIM card installed, will connecting to my phone's WIFI hotspot give it the same functionality as if I was using a SIM card ?
I don't understand why Bluetooth to Smartphone for Data access (ride uploads/weather etc) can't be enabled?
Hot-spotting to my Smartphone(s) is a tremendous drain on battery.
This seems to be a no-brainer, why the lack of feature?
One of the great features of WAHOO and GARMIN is the connection with smartphone via bluetooth, knowing who is calling or sending a message is a great value, whether it is necessary to stop to answer or answer. With each passing day I am more disappointed with this device. Not to mention the constant blocks, or go to pedal and this one is divided in two parts. Do not give to set more than one wheel size, I have 4 bikes, the remaining three are left out. I wanted my money back and nothing, I was denied By value is nothing but nothing special even completely disillusioned.Please sign in to leave a comment.
