    Hi All,

    first post here and not sure if this is in the right section however I am having a (possible) problem following an update to my Ultegra Di2 with view to add the syncroshift functionality. I have updated everything, however when clicking on Shift Mode Setting button via E-Tube software I receive an error saying the FD & RD is not on the latest version? I then try and update everything  again and it tells me that everything is on the latest firmware? 

    So, my question is – do I have an issue here or are the FD&RD just too old or not compatible?

    The fullsystem details are as follows;

    SM-BTR2 – 3.0.10

    SM-EW90-A – 3.0.4

    FD-6870 – 2.6.2

    RD-6870-SS – 2.6.3

    ST-6870-R – 3.0.0

    ST-6879-R – 3.0.0

    Thanks everyone

    You do have to have the new

    You do have to have the new battery BT-DN110 in order to use synchro shift on road bikes.  The battery is where the operating system of your di2 is.

     

    If you want to do it wirelessly via the app then you will need the new di2 transmitter EW-WU101(external) or EW-WU111(internal).

     

    Everything is in place for Udi2 6870 and di2 9070 to make synchro shift work.  However as someone noted the firmware for the front derailuer has not been updated yet.  That is the final step if you have all of the other equipment upgraded.

    Is the bluetooth module

    Is the bluetooth module really required for the synchro shift to work?  I am more than happy to plug my bike into my laptop and make changes that way rather then pay £75 for something i probably wouldn’t use.

    The plan is Syncro-Shift will

    The plan is Syncro-Shift will work with Ultegra Di2 11-Speed just as it will for DA Di2 11-Speed and combinations of the two.

    We have the new BT-DN110 battery that has the processing power required for Syncro-Shift and the EW-EW101 Bluetooth module we can talk to the new Syncro-Shift enabled app with.

    But the final piece of the puzzle is a new FD & RD firmware. They need to be at 3.0.0 or above and that has not yet been released by Shimano. So just keep checking for the update.

    The only FD and RD with this newer firmware are the new DA9150 ones and these are only just coming into stock anywhere so my guess is that the 3.0.0 firmware for the older Ultegra 6870 and DA9070 won’t be too long now.

    I have similar setup on one
    I have similar setup on one bike. It doesn’t do synchro shit but multi shift. Afaik synchro shift is only available on XTR, XT and 9000 series Durace system, not ultegra. With XTR, you need the MTB thumb shifter to have synchro shift.
