Software Prerequisites

Personal computer with Internet access, a formatted 32GB or smaller SD memory card, and a USB Memory Card Reader. 

In addition to this MEGA Live software update, users must first install the latest version of control software for compatible HELIX, SOLIX or APEX models.   Failure to install the head unit software first can cause issues with the MEGA Live update not successfully processing or could cause sonar performance issues that will remain until all updates are performed successfully.  The TargetLock features cannot be used without successful completion of these updates.   

Instructions

  1. After installing the appropriate update to your compatible Humminbird unit, download the update file to an SD card.
  2. Goto the Accessory Test view and confirm that MEGA Live TargetLock is connected and the version is at least 1.130.
  3. Insert an SD card with the new MEGA Live TargetLock software.
  4. Respond to the two prompts that appear to start the update process (Select Yes and then No).
  5. During the update process you may notice a few “lost source” notifications. This is ok. You do not need to respond to these prompts.
  6. Wait until the MEGA Live disconnects and then reconnects with the new software version displayed on the Accessory Test view. This process could take up to 8 minutes! Do not pull the card out, restart the HELIX, or restart the MEGA Live.
  7. Remove the SD card with the update once the update is complete.
