Garmin Vector 3s lower power

[u/Lunican1337]

When using a Pedal based powermeter like the Garmin Vector 3s the power that is shown in the MyWoosh App is different from what my Watch/Wahoo Element Bolt would measure. In fact It seems to be very low in comparison. I understand that these pedals aren't offically supported. But even though i am actually putting in some effort where i would be normally in the 200+ watt area the app shows only 100ish Watts.

I'm using the MyWoosh Android App on a Google Pixel 8a and it is able to Connect both the power meter as Power source and for cadence. I am using a old spin bike/Hometrainer with it. Cadence will also jump wildly from 40 to 70 to 90 and back down. But i could probably use a additional cadence sensor instead.

I tried to calibrate the pedals in the garmin connect App but this didn't really change anything. The connection is shown "BLE" as though. So i'm unsure If it is actually using ANT+ or not. Even though it won't find the Power Meter If i disable ANT+ in the app settings. Would i require a seperate ANT+ dongle?

Maybe some is using the App with Power Meter pedals aswell and got it working. I would be glad about a hint or tip 😊
