Even if you already have a Varia device connected to a compatible Garmin device or head unit, the Varia app provides supplementary awareness and peace of mind during your rides.
- The compatible Garmin Varia devices include the Varia RVR315 Rearview Radar, Varia RTL515 Radar Tail Light, Varia RCT715 Rearview Radar Camera, and Varia eRTL615 Rearview Radar Tail Light.

I am an editor at UpdateStar. I started as a support engineer, and am now specialized in writing about general software topics from a usability and performance angle among others. I telecommute from UpdateStar’s Berlin office, when I am not working remote as a digital nomad for UpdateStar. When I'm not analyzing the latest software updates, you can find me exploring new cities, immersing myself in local cultures, and discovering innovative tech trends across the globe.
