    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!

    Very handsome in a climb tour - to know if there is still one gear left or not 👍

    I would love to have the Karoo 2 "beep" when you hit min/max gearing, like my Garmin. It is super handy and lets me know without looking that you can't shift in that direction any more.

    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).

    The "chainring next shift" alert is the one thing I really miss from the gamin setup.

    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.
