I have been using the RTL500 since it was first introduced and it has worked flawlessly. When I first got it I was concerned I wouldn't like the horizontal shape of the unit with the seatpost...

No doubt, I'm mostly talking about my personal use case where the BT would be completely useless. I have one of the higher end computers which has mapping built in and works excellent, and...

Everybody here often drifts in thought while riding, and then suddenly there's a car behind you because perhaps it's electric or you forgot to check the mirror.
These are one of those things you...

Yes, and I bought two of those combos ... Just sold 1 of the radars for $152 and bought the RTL515 for $180 for smartphone compatibility

It doesn't work with a smartphone, so you need a cycle computer. The review I read said it works as advertised, but it shoots through the battery like crazy when it's connected. But seriously, how...

For an additional $35, you were getting a $100 headlight + bar mount. That was the better deal for most, but you can't turn back time.

How do you find the smart headlight functionality? Debating going for this sale or holding off till the combo price drops again.

RTL500 = Varia 1
RTL510 = Varia 2 (the one in this deal)
RTL515 = Varia 3 (the new one with Bluetooth)

Yes, noticed that as well... also, this one is the Varia Radar 2 RTL510 Rear Light. The one in the Amazon deal is the Varia, and not the Varia Radar 2. Not sure if there actually is a difference as...

I had purchased the RTL510 with UT800 bundle from Amazon but realized that the Garmin Varia app on my wife's Samsung S20 was Bluetooth only, even though the S20 supports Ant+. Rather than spend...

You also didn't say it wasn't. In any case, it wasn't directed at you, so much as anyone else who might be reading. I can't stress enough how important it is to have a real mirror. I usually...

I don’t recall suggesting it should be the only option. It is absolutely a solid addition to a safety net.
Also I’m not as worried about cars matching my speed (it’s a good problem to...

Not so gimmicky... the new bluetooth feature is pretty useful, even with the rather new/flawed varia app. I usually have a phone mounted for directions, and it works best with googlemaps in a mini...

It is really useful, but it should still only be used as a supplement to a good helmet or barend mirror. The RTL doesn't always catch everything, especially when you've got cars slowly following...

I used to use the original 5x with the RTL500 (RTL510 is gen2), so I'm sure it will work. The audio alert was loud enough that I'd notice it 90% of the time. Unless you've already got an RDU to use...
