It works perfectly with the Road Di2 components. The display comes on every time you shift or touch the mode button. I have the display timer set to 30 seconds ( via e-tube-project configuration). I was having problems with my Di2 battery being run down by a Shimano Di2 inline Bluetooth module, it wasn't shutting off at times. The MT800 connects to my phone or Garmin 1030 with no problems. Firmware updates are easy via e-tube-project.
The SC-MT800 System Display is the brains of Shimano's XT Di2 electronic mountain groupset, allowing you to view data, control settings, and connect to the E-Tube Project application to customize your shifting preferences. Bluetooth and ANT+ enabled, the MT800 system display wirelessly connects to smart devices and cycling computers for seamless operation and control anywhere you go.
Details:- Displays system status of: battery level, gear position, shift mode and FOX iRD suspension position
- Toggle audible shift notification chimes
- Toggle between three Shimano Synchronized Shift modes available (S1/S2/Manual)
- Digitally adjust front and rear derailleurs and provide numerical adjustment indicator
- Wireless ANT / Bluetooth communication for customization and data utilization in the field with a smartphone, tablet, and other mobile electronics
- Battery charging port
- 3 E-Tube ports
- D-Fly compatible
hah, nice - I installed one too (bought to help a user that was having problems pairing theirs).
Personally I don't see the use of this unit on a road bike, but that is just my opinion (I already have my Wahoo that displays the same data). It is perfectly fine to have a different opinion
That said, there are a couple of things I do like:
- The audible shift notification chimes are pretty neat.. It beeps when I'm at either end of the cassette and also right before a (full) synchro shfit.
- The button seems to work better than the one on my SM-EW90-A (not installed the EW-RS910 yet... soon..)
- Because it's a display it is easier to tell the battery level, current shift mode and 'adjustment mode'. It also tells you the current RD / FD adjustment value
It'll probably stay on my second bike, because my EW-WU111 is moving to my new bike (Bowman Palace 3) soon.
The "D-fly compatible" in jmess' list means that this will do the same as a D-fly (BluetoothLE and ANT) - you can
not install both this
and a D-fly on the same bike (only one wireless capable device per Di2 bike allowed).
