Hey Alex! They can be updated using the mobile app, actually! It is a pain, but it can be done - you just need to connect the shifter you want to update to the 'spare' port on the battery (or anywhere else). So you need an extra ew-sd300 wire, yeah.. that is a bit meh. You can indeed use the PCE02 with the ad305 adapter, but there is also a new link cable coming for the PCE02 - one with an sd300 end plug. The part number is Y79M9801T, but bike shops tell me they can't get it yet.. and if you search for it on Google you will find just my page. There is more on updating the levers here: bettershifting.com/update-the-firmware-on-12-speed-hydraulic-shift-levers/
@@BetterShifting ohhhhh!!!!! Uuuuuhhhhhh !!!!! Who are you???? Like , subscribe , kudos and everything for you!!!!! I need to do this upgrade, I can't see anymore these "!" On my screen. I will try to do this is I find this cable somewhere in Greece.
@@ioannidesalex haha, you can probably get an EW-SD300 somewhere - they are used on e-bikes too :). The alternative is to unplug the FD and use that wire to update each shifter.. but that means you'd take each shift lever off the handlebar and update it :(
Hi there thanks for the video. I had an issue updating my di2 using the sm bmr2 cable. It seems that all components have been updated but don’t know how it ended up with “master unit” blinking in red and say “undetected”. My system is dead! Now I have ordered the sm-pce1 cable to restore it. Do you think I’ll be manage to? If it is the master unit so do I come t it to the A junction box? Please help David
Hi David, I think you mean SM-BCR2 cable (and not SM-BMR2?). The 'master unit' it is referring to is (usually) the battery or battery mount, in case you're using the external battery. You should be able to restore the firmware on the battery/battery mount using the SM-PCE1, yeah. Keep in mind that it'll probably say "unit not recognized" or similar the first try, just like it did in this video. Eventually it should work though :). Send me an email @ terry@di2center.com if you cannot get it to work using the PCE1 (or comment here, that's fine too)
BetterShifting _com Terry Thank you so much for your quick reply. I have the di2 Dura Ace (but 6-7 years) and also I have inside the frame a Dfly connected to it (but also 6-7 years old). I think it is external batt (but I’m not sure) but yes the same cable I use for the E Tube I am using for charging the battery (that means it is external batt?). It is indeed the SM-BCR2 cable. So I have ordered now cause of the issue an usb SM-PCE1 cable. I believe on the other side of the USB the connection will get into the batt charger unit (and not directly to the A junction box, am I right?) Do I try to do first an error check and go from there or what? Thanks again really helpful. David
I have an R8050 rear derailleur who thinks It's on the 11T cog, while it's actually on the 28T cog. This means it can't shift up, and if I try to shift down it runs into the limit screws. Could I fix this with this tool?
Hoi India, no.... unfortunately not. I think I would first try the crash mode reset (without the wheel in) and possibly disconnect the battery for ~30 seconds. Now... if you're near Bleiswijk you're welcome to come and try it out with mine, but as far as I know this isn't possible.
@@BetterShifting Ik heb het trucje van de 5s junctionbox indrukken al geprobeerd, zonder succes. Ik ga morgen de batterij 30s disconnecten, als dat niet lukt kom ik graag langs! Ik woon zelf in Delft, dus met de racefiets ben ik zo bij je ;)
@@BetterShifting helaas, het heeft geen succes gehad. Wat ik trouwens eerder aangaf, dat hij tegen de L screw aanloopt, is niet waar. Iets anders houdt hem tegen. Je kan dus alleen omlaag schakelen, en als je dat doet hoor je een tikkend geluid van de servo, waarna hij het na een paar sec opgeeft. Ik kom dus graag langs! Hoe kunnen we het gesprek voort zetten, buiten RUclips?
What about r9200 di2 that they can't be updated with mobile app? Pce02 needs extra adapters for the new smaller cables of 9200 di2

(which is a pain of you've already built the bike)
@@BetterShifting I already feel a relief and I will sleep better. When I find the adapter and the cable I will do this and let you know .

@@SpicyAngler yep! The pce1/ PCE02 plug directly into the component you're trying to fix. I'll type a better reply tomorrow, is 23:20 here now :}

@@indiavandoornen4222 Stuur me even een mailtje (terry@bettershifting) en dan stuur ik m'n nummer wel even :).
Hopefully I never have to put this to practice
Let's hope so! :) It's different for 12-speed Di2 too.. you cannot just connect using the charger, and only the PCE02 will work.
