Does Shimano EP8 need a display to function?

[Machine5555]

The display was damaged and I don't have $220 for a replacement. Is there a way to bipass this? I can only get it to turn on while the display plugged in by using the battery power switch but not the power button on the frame.

Hi Welcome
No bypass that i know of as the bike communicates with the display to operate

yes you can. but it needs a replacement cable. you can still connect to the bike with the replacement cable via Bluetooth to Garmin.
