The d-fly unit is purely a plaything. It adds no speed, power or aero benefits. The information it gives is like the froth on a cappuccino - nice but of no use whatsoever. Set up is not straight forward. It should be plug and play but unless you have done one before, I’m sure you’ll have to rely on YouTube to set it up. Even then I had to go through the process 2 or 3 times As others have said - it should come as a standard part of the Di2 kit but Shimanos accountants have no doubt seen the opportunity for another profit centre. You’ll need what may be the worlds most expensive cable - £20 or so for a 6” lv connector which probably cost them a matter of pennies to manufacture.
Product Details
The Shimano E-tube Di2 Wireless Unit - 2 Port is minimalistic, discreet and sits 'in-line' between the cables. It provides transmission via ANT+ of Di2 data to compatible cycling computers so gear and battery information can be displayed on your device.
E-Tube programming is enabled through wireless communication and is a platform for transmitting signals and power supply to all components through the 'plug and play' connection. It will not rust, stretch or freeze and is extremely low maintenance. With E-Tube you are able to customise settings and update firmware by connecting to your smartphone, tablet or PC.
The wireless D-Fly component connects riders to their Di2 data and adds another dimension to using Di2. There is no need to connect your bike to the PCE1 interface for carrying out important updates.

Reviews
Great addition to fully utilise my Ultegra Di2 groupset. Allows me to integrate my bike with my head unit and also not worry about the amount of battery I have left. The only downside is that I am not sure why it isn’t included when you buy a bike in the first place

Hi, I have a 2018 Specialized Roubaix expert di2 can you advise the best place to mount the module and will I need any other wires or tools to do so?
Hi Abe, This is designed to work from the Di2 cable coming out of the frame to the junction box, You will need an additional 150mm Di2 cable with this, Many thanks Joe W
Hi. I have a Tarmac with Dura Ace 9170 it has a Shimano EC200 connector by the handlebars can I replace this with the di2 wireless unit and expect it to work ok at this location? Thank you
Hi Ian, This will work no issues at all, Many thanks Joe W
Where would you recommend fitting this on a Cube C:62 SL 2020? It doesn't seem like the junction A box is in the seat post so not sure of the best position for it?
Hello, We typically recommend running this between the shifter and the frame to allow for the best connection. Many Thanks Liam
About Shimano
Shifting the way the world rides.
From a single Osaka workshop in 1921, Shimano has grown into the world's most influential component maker. The brand's relentless engineering — Dura-Ace, Ultegra, GRX, XTR — has shaped the way the world shifts, brakes and rides, on the road and off it.
Shimano's flagship groupset, Dura-Ace, has been the benchmark for top-level road components for more than five decades. Every refinement that lands on Dura-Ace eventually shapes the entire Shimano range, all the way down to entry-level drivetrains.
