If anyone has this set up please help ...... the i-pilot link for ONIX and ION operations guide, I strongly suspect, is wrong.
under section 3 of the installation portion it gives two options ..... one connection directly from the i-pilot link motor to the unit and the other through a ethernet port (hub)
1) For a direct connection - If says use "AS EC QDE" and a "AS EC Chart" ..... here's the issues - I am certain they mean "cord" not "chart"which could be confusing and secondly - the AS EC QDE cord is NOT COMPATIBLE with the ONIX is it? The humminbird website list this adapter cord to cover a number of units and does not mention ONIX compatibility.
so - I'm thinking - no problem I will use my ethernet port ( the legacy version ) ...... so I go to the next installation row .....
2) For installation through a ethernet port use "AS ETH 5PS"
and two more of those AS EC "charts". Again, assuming they mean ethernet cords ...... as far as the AS ETH 5PS .... I don't see that part number available anywhere anymore .... the ethernet port for the ion/onix is the AS ETH PXG isn't it? That's what the humminbird website says ...... so ....If the AS ETH 5PS is the legacy port I used on the 800 series units and the minnkota will it still work with the ONIX?
Please help me ..... I have a headache.
All I'm doing is trying to hook up my minnkota to my ONIX what are my tried and tested options - I suspect trusting the operations guide (like I did last time) will lead me to more money spent and more confusion, frustration and delays.
I have a legacy 5 port ethernet, lots of ethernet cables and, for now, only the one onix unit on the dash ..... so I could do it either way.
