I agree. Shimano should be paying Shane for doing this stuff. Their documentation is pretty terrible...

@@jimhansen5395 Documentation and Software both are terrible. I have a mac and no luck with di2 s/w on it!

@jo gr 😂

I'm on the case. Stay tuned. :)

Thanks Chrisof. The tape is BBB Cycling BHT-14 FlexRibbon Gel Handlebar Tape: amzn.to/2Yzg6pF

No. It’s either a Di2 button for gear change or a D-Fly channel button. The latter type not able to change gears.

Thanks for your responce. I noticed it. It is set for the garmin now.

Me too

Garmin Edge units will record the data, yes. This information isn't used by Garmin Connect that I'm aware of. Services such as di2stats.com/ or axs.sram.com/ will parse FIT files from Garmin devices for Di2 information to display.

I’ll do a follow up with the Wahoo units soon.

I believe it’s the “climber” switches for di2. You may want to check Shane’s “install video” for those. In fact, I’d go watch all of his Di2 videos, as one of the other commenters mentioned, Shane does a much better job of demonstrating Di2 stuff than Shimano themselves.

Correct, its the climber switch SW-R600

Yes

No. Once the buttons are assigned a D-Fly channel, they can't do gear changes.

Not at the moment that I can tell.

I don't know, I was skipping through the setup to make sure the video was under 10mins :) Something to check though.

I’m with you!

No. There’s no way to configure this with these buttons.

@@gplama thanks Shane! Amazing response time for a 2 year old video. Your channel is awesomez taught me so much about zwift and lots of other cycling tips. I'm watching your Di2 videos as just ordered myself a giant propel with ultegra di2. Very excited! Such luxury!

Not sure. I'd check Edge 1000 firmware (sync via USB with Garmin Express).

These levers are the 8070 Ultegra hydraulic disc version.

@@gplama Wow fast feedbac thx~^~~^~

hahah. No. D-Fly won't change gears.

I use them all.

Benny Cornelissen Want buttons get a 530... it’s called choice, buttons 530 touch screen 830

I'm sure someone could program that. There's nothing that does this at the moment.

Nope.

@@gplama thanks! I hope someday they do as that'd be great

That’s the non XL mount I’m using. With the XL (the one I use with the 1030) the 830 is further forward of the bars.

@@gplama Thanks, good to know. That was my backup plan in case the standard Garmin mount that comes with the 830 is too short.

For those who are still wondering: My fears were unfounded. I am having absolutely no issues accessing the buttons on the bottom when using the standard Garmin mount that came with the Edge 830. Even with the bulky Hussefelt stem on my bike (www.sram.com/truvativ/products/truvativ-hussefelt-stem).

Interesting! I'll be getting into the new(ish) Di2 soon with my 8170 upgrade.

@@gplama Maybe it’s due of my two levers that are not up to date. What they didn’t tell me (Canyon) is that levers can not be firmware update trough the wifi E-TUBE app. The only possibility is through a specific cable right to the battery or with that same cable and an adapter to the front or maybe rear derailleur . Just for you to know ;)

Similar. I’ll do a follow up video with the Elemnt/Bolt/Roam.

No idea sorry. Likely. I don't have a 955.

@@gplamathanks for your response, I’ve managed to connect the two but cannot seem to connect to the d-fly system, only viewing battery and cassette.

@@gplamahave you ever had the shifter buttons work with a Garmin watch?

Not something I’ve tried. One for Garmin support.

Any software could make use of these channels. Zwift had Di2 enabled in very early beta, it has been disabled for a few years though.

In your bike (if you have one). If you don't know if you have one, you likely don't have one. Online - Links in the video description.

The wireless module for Di2 isn't included on most Di2 bike builds.

Is the 830 paired to the wireless unit sensor? One for Shimano Support if this isn't working as shown.

@@gplama thanks for the follow-up! Found another guide that suggested using the derailleur button to connect the 830 after have set the shifters to D-Fly first - and it worked.

Yes: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/qJd4fYqcaJWAsmQ.html

SRAM groupsets don't have any D-Fly style auxiliary buttons at this time.

Yep. Stay tuned for that video.

and Zwift power-ups!

Not at this point.

It's usually OK these days.

You have the wireless module installed and configured?

@@gplama yes I do - it recognises is on the 520 and I can edit the buttons to perform different actions. But when I go to my main screen it doesn’t scroll through.

Although di2 is flashing on my connections screen so I assume it sees the di2 but isn’t connected to it?

Hmmm. Do the Di2 battery info and gearing fields show as expected on the 520?

@@gplama I have the fields ready to use, at first I managed to find the di2 and then connected it, but when the hood buttons didn’t work I removed it and tried reading the di2 to the garmin, now it won’t find it, even when I am trying to wake it up with the gears.

A lot of that was me not tapping the screen correctly due to the angle I was on with the overhead camera. I'll give it a full analysis when I've had more time with it, and I do a video about the 830 itself.

@@gplama we really owe you guys a lot, the times were manufacturers can just sell you whatever they want are definitely over

The lag looked tolerable to me but the screen sensitivity seems worrisome. Too many false positives and false negatives in such a short amount of time. Scrolling seems to be the worst offender as it twice registers a false tap instead of a swipe. Doing all this with sweaty fingers on a bouncing unit as you're riding your bike would not make this any easier. Ironically, I went with the 830 over the 530 because of the complaints about the physical back button on the latter. Oh, well, there is no winning here. Looking forward to Shane's full review of the 830 (or the arrival of mine, whichever comes first).

@@atanasg Please let us know if you like the touchscreen. :)

@@dwilmer1980 TL;DR: Yes, I do actually! Just got mine yesterday and did my first ride today. Still getting used to the Garmin ecosystem but regarding the screen, here are my impressions: Yes the lag is there. It just does not bother me. The response is slow enough not to get unnoticed (esp. compared to any modern smart phone) but it's also quick enough that it does not seem to be annoying (at least not to me). The touch screen also occasionally misses taps. My experience so far has actually been quite like Shane's in shown in this video. The worst offender seem to be the soft buttons on the bottom. Not so much with swipes. Amazingly, pinch to zoom on the map feels smoother and more responsive (not scrolling though) -- go figure! Again, this happens rarely enough that I am not too bothered by it (yet?). I have not seen any signs of over-sensitivity though (falsely registered unintended taps or swipes) -- I would definitely be less tolerant of those. Haven't tested how it handles wet / sweaty fingers or gloves, yet, so I can't comment on that. My biggest disappointment about the screen (and the unit as a whole) is the freaking fonts -- they look fuzzy. Maybe the underlying screen resolution is too low or the anti-aliasing algorithm Garmin uses is crap but I honestly thought the screen was blurry when it came up for the first time. This felt like a bummer because the biggest reason for my switching from my Wahoo Bolt was that I couldn't quite make out the small letters in the navigation instructions on the Bolt. Today's ride squashed my apprehensions though. The Edge shows the navigation instructions on the top of the screen in large enough letters that I had no problem reading them. Also the slightly larger screen and colored display make up for the lack of crispiness. The brightness on auto was also great. Basically, I had no struggles seeing what's on Edge's screen. So I am keeping it :) YMMV, HTH

Wifi MUST be turned off on your phone/tablet for firmware updates. If it's left on, that's what crashes the update.

.....?

Wifi needs to be turned off on your phone/tablet for Di2 firmware updates.

Foye Troute WiFi and Bluetooth are not using the same frequency in MegaHertz. So no interference possible between WiFi and Bluetooth. It won’t change nothing to turn WiFi off unless Shimano put a bug in its software. But you could turn off Apple Watch if you have it and uses Bluetooth for less interference !

Update your firmware over mobile, bricking the Di2 system, problem solved! :) (Wasn't there some battery drain fw fix a while back?)

@@gplamaGPLama it's on the latest firmware actually, still hasn't solved it.

Also very very important, if you connect to it via the etube app on the iphone, make sure you disconnect it when done. The iphone will maintain the connection and can kill the di2 battery in a matter of hours! Do this before a ride, drive an hour to trail and find a dead battery.

@@JeffreyGordonTheTankGordon yup, always disconnect it. But I had the problem on a previous D-Fly unit, before Bluetooth was available. It's even been into a Shimano dealer and they said it was fine. The only thing they changed was moving the D-Fly unit from between the rear derailleur and stuck it in the bottom bracket. Which was tidier, but didn't solve the battery drain issue.

Sorry old thread but I'm having same issues. Was the battery drain ever resolved? Thank you
