Di2 Integration
Not plannedWould it be possible to add Di2 notifications/beeps?
Example:
- An audible beep when reaching min or max on the cassette
- An audible beep/notification when in S2 mode and a front shift is next
Additionally could you add the ability to enter chainring and cassette sizes to the Di2 sensor so that when adding gearing to a layout in profiles it shows the actual gear combo.
These are both features that are available on Garmin devices.

Hi Sam,
Interesting feature request! Something we have seen for the first time, from our community. We could certainly do with the beeper, as well as adding details manually. The first and foremost issue that we need to solve on the Di2 integration is the connectivity, robustness and reliability of the information. The next addition would be the ability to recording the shifting details on the FIT file for analysis.
I would love to understand the value of each of these request, so I can forward the priorities to the product team. I would also love to hear other users input on this post.

I'd be interested in this as well. Particularly the 2nd example above which previews or announces the front mech auto shift.
If you do add a last cog alert, please make it a sad sound!

I second or third, or fourth that request. Actually, I just got my Karoo2 and have been very disappointed that the warning beep that announces the front mech auto shift on the next shift is not possible. Disappointed to the point of considering returning the unit. I, like the other commenter, depend on that beep in the middle of a hot climb to warn me what's coming. Please do it! Otherwise, it's pretty good (I'm a long time 1030 user).

I just started riding outdoors with my Karoo 2 at the weekend and overall the device is awesome and really appreciated numerous benefits over the Garmin 1030 I had before.
The one feature I really missed was the chainring alert for the front mech that the Garmin 1030 has. That alert has really made me lazy when it comes to understanding what gear I'm in but with my Garmin 1030 I never had to look down at my rear cassette where as now i think i need to add the gear information to my main data screen in the Karoo 2.
The audio alert for Di2 chainring shift would be a huge benefit to me and the main improvement you can make to the Di2 integration (I only ever need this audio alert - I don't are otherwise to know what gear I'm in).

Went out yesterday for my first time with Karoo2, all these years have been using Garmin (800/1000/1030). I would totally agree with the aforementioned posts, I was negatively surprised to see that Karoo 2 does not notify on front ring shifts using Di2 S2 mode. Is a very useful feature.
Would also be good to get some Di2 button customisation, like Garmin does, e.g. long press for Map view, or Start ride etc.

First ride today with my Karoo 2. Lots of things to like about it, the routing is very good, the screen is great but 2 things were missing for me. Firstly the lack of notification about a chainring shift and no auto lap. Of these the front chainring shift notification is a big problem for me especially the warning for the shift to the small chainring.
