Bosch has provided an interface for external bike computers that makes all motor parameters available for display on the bike computer.

Garmin is now using this interface.

Can we expect this to be available for the Karoo as well?

  I've been waiting for this for over a year now. I almost ended up trying the Bulcan add-on chip just to “extract” the data fields to the Karoo 3. Hopefully the Hammerhead team finally implements full Bosch Performance Line CX compatibility, just like Garmin already did.

  Data transfer works very well with the Bulcan, and I am pleased not to have to wait for anything. There was a discounted offer back then, so I snapped it up.

  I second that request ... since it's kust a BLE profile it should be a not too big effort - which could also be a great improvement for the Karoo 2 ... I know that the development of new features for Karoo2 has stopped.
  
  I have the new Karoo 3 - but would love to just let the karoo 2 on the comuter ebikes and have the data there ... they keep up the good work there :)

  Since I exclusively ride e-bikes with Bosch motors, this implementation is a core feature for me. If Hammerhead doesn't implement that, my next bike computer will just be a Garmin again...

  And so di I, changed from Garmin to Hammerhaed but will return!
  Its easier to change the bike computer than the bike itself!

  Hammerhead told me, that the Api is only for Garmin and as long as Bosch doesn't realy open their system  nothing will be changed.
