Interested in fitting this remote but there still seems to be a lack of consensus as to exactly what cable(s) is/are needed. Can anyone enlighten me please? (Bike is non canbus - Transalp)
Thank you.

For motorbike and 6" devices (XT2 and Tread 2) you need just the REF: 010-13985-00.

Not a lack of consensus
@Triplog Its a Garminism.
The controller was released and the online manual said that the high current cable was required.
The diagram showed a single cable
The text described two cables. Both were required.
A few of us bought both.
Since then, a new cable has been announced - the 010-13985-00.
This does the same job as the two cables, and has the xt2 cradle built in.
No one at tech support seemed to have any idea
My two cables will be going back.
Go back to post #1 - the confusion will make sense. I edited the first post as soon as I discovered the new cable

There is several weeks waiting time for the single cable...

Thanks for the clarification @jfheath! Been looking online last night and there does seem to be a waiting time for the cable. It appears to be such a new addition that no-one has them in stock! (that I've come across to date anyhow!)
"Estimated" availability on the Garmin site is now 1-2 weeks.

Estimate for one of mine was 5-7 weeks, It wouldn't arrive until next week. But it got here well before Christmas. I think that they will quote maximum, so everyone is aware. Still no price listed though.

It is listed on Garmin Europe for 79.99Eur
But you can't add it to the basket

Looking at this continuing thread, I'm surprised at the lack of outrage towards Garmin about releasing a Controller with so little clarity about what cables were needed and how to hook them up, and at such a high price.
Have we gotten so inured to Garmin's low level of support for the XT2 and the Tread app that this is now what we accept?
