E-TUBE PROJECT Cyclist

My first experiences with STEPS 6100 are excellent, connection works fine and I can update language and the menu settings for example. Happy so far! One request for enhancement: the display unit shows MANUAL in the middle of the screen, this is useful for bikes with automatic shifting, but my bike is manual only, so why not offer the option to use that part of the screen for something more useful (like a permanent range or odometer?

Buggy SW, confusing UI. Connected with new app to reprogram synchro shift. Got hung after initial connect. As others wrote, bricked it. App couldn't connect, no response from bar end button. System in limbo, thinks its connected, and never times out or recovers. To recover, I removed the EW-WU111 and connected the PC-link SM-PCE1 with my laptop. I was able connect and reactivate the Di2. I put the EW-WU111 back in and reprogrammed the connect password. Afterwards, it all worked. There may be other ways to recover such as disconnecting the battery, but not sure. The App is still confusing. The fact that unless you disconnect from the phone the system remains in limbo and nothing works forever is unconscionable.

This app is absolutely awful. The latest version doesn't release my Di2 when I finish and click Disconnect to leave the app. After disconnecting, the bike remains absolutely non-responsive to any button, reconnecting or charging. After some hours it appears to time out and begins working again. This is terrifying and unusable. I just can't.
