    Thanks for the video. It's a nice addition to the switch. I was wondering if the parts list you show contains everything needed (besides hardware) for what you had in the video. I read where you had something already installed at the dealer and I was curious if that was one of the parts you had listed? Thanks, James

    In getting to the final set up of the Engine gateway for my 2023 21' 230 hp supercharger I have found the Bi-color LED on the Device to blink red rather than green. However; when i turn the garmin on, the device light flashes light green then back to red then back to green then back to red and so forth. I believe I have set the wiring up exactly as you showed on the video. Just wondering if you would have a solution. Also I was wondering if I set up the SD card correctly by copying and pasting the text as follows: BRP_ROTAX=ON ENGINE_CAN_SPEED=500 ENGINE_0=1 ENGINE_1=OFF FUEL=GASOLINE

    Copy and paste the code I provided below the comments. Re-flash the Engine Gateway. Make sure your NMEA2000 network is powered. Did you use the adapter cable? The first color flash indicates the Engine Gateway. Green indicates that the data from the engine has been received by the Engine Gateway. The second flash indicates the condition of the NMEA2000 network. A red flash indicates that no data is sent or received to the network. I'm going to assume that the red flash is the second flash. So you need to check the NMEA2000 network for proper installation and that it is powered. If you connected everything as in my video, then you'll need to make sure the ignition is ON so that the network is powered. Double check with a meter that the network is indeed getting power.

    ​@@letsrolldiyauto1532 Hi Frank, thank you for your quick response!! I have copied & pasted the code in it's entirety that you provided below the comments to the SD card starting with the Bold words: "If no data displayed then change CAN_SPEED to 250" and ending with the last code just prior to "End of File". Should I have copied the code text only rather than copying the bold statements as well? I then checked with my meter the voltage coming out of the red wire that I had plugged in to the lower left corner of the fuse box and then to the yellow NMEA 2000 cable. I checked the voltage inside of the red cable where I could pull apart the small black twist apart fuse holder. The meter showed 12 volts with the ignition on and showed no voltage with the ignition off. I then re-flashed the SD card to the device with the ignition on. Device blinked red. I then turned on the Garmin. The device showed 2 blinking green lights, 5 seconds apart showed 2 blinking red lights then repeating itself. I did connect the adapter with the female end of the adapter to the mail end that I removed from the dummy port on the front of the coolant tank which left a male end that I put back to the dummy port. Obviously I connected the other end of the adapter to the in line connection end of the device which left an unused male end. Honestly I couldn't see any other way it would connect. I did try to add a photo of how everything is connected in the engine compartment for you to view but my computer would not allow me to do so. Is there a way I can send the photo via text message or email? You could DM me at 435-630-6155. Thank you in advance.

Only the port(s) coming out at 90 degrees from the backbone should have devices connected. In the basic one device network, there should be a terminator at one end, then a power connector on one 90 degree port, the device at another 90 degree port and then a terminator at the other end.

  • @letsrolldiyauto1532
    @letsrolldiyauto153211 күн бұрын

    Good question. I have looked at the website and read the User Manual. Here's my thoughts. The Engine Gateway will give voltage readings. The Battery Monitor shows voltage, amperes and temperature (with an additional external temperature probe). I don't think the amperes is going to give me any real additional information. If I look at voltage, before starting, it needs to be 12+v. While cranking, it should not drop below 9.6v. If it does, it's a bad battery. When charging, it should read 13.5+v. For normal operation, that's all I really need to know. If I suspect a bad battery, I'd go for the battery tester anyway. It will fit into the NMEA 2000 backbone, but I don't know whether or how it would display on the Garmin EchoNap. And finally, at a cost of $189, I'll pass on it due to the limited information it gives. The battery tester at under $100 is my preferred route.

    Frank, thanks I installed a battery switch last year in my 2022 Switch 230hp, worked great. This year my dealer replaced the IBR Module under warranty after it failed to go into reverse with "IBR Module Error". Tech said they've had problems with all 2022 IBRs. But it keeps "locking" and tech says he has to use his laptop with connection in engine compartment to software reset and unlock IBR. Realized that every time I turn battery switch to Off, the IBR ends up "locking". But worked great last year before this IBR replacement. You have any idea why? Is there a way I can access whatever the tech uses to reset/unlock IBR?

  • @letsrolldiyauto1532
    @letsrolldiyauto153214 күн бұрын

    Even though you turn off the battery, check the battery voltage. A battery tester might help. (I did a video on a battery tester I evaluated.) I've read that low voltage can cause the IBR error. Also, for me, a low voltage kept my IDF from working. But for the software reset, you'd need to get the software and dongle attachment to get into the ECM. CanDooPro.com has the decoder and software, but I think it's a little expensive at $429. Plus, if you decide to go with that, call them first and make sure you get the right product.

  • @letsrolldiyauto1532
    @letsrolldiyauto153219 күн бұрын

    Yes. That is normal. The depth finder is sonar and does not work in air. It neds to be in a liquid (water). When you start getting to speed, there's cavitation under the boat and these air bubbles interfere with the sonar. Also, the latency (time between the signal sent and signal received) may have an effect on the accuracy. The more expensive transom mounts will read depth under speed much better.

    First, you need to make sure your Command (Infotainment system) is version NTG5s1 or later (manufacture date of 01/2016+). If yes, you can get an OBDII activation tool off of Amazon for under $25. But if your Command system is earlier, don't try it as you'll screw up the Command system. My GLE has Apple CarPlay. My wife's 2016 GLE does not. She has an early one with a manufacture date of 12/2015 and cannot get CarPlay.
