    Our 2018 242 limited S E series is showing multiple communication errors. Joystick, gps, spu 25-15, stereo, depth transducer and something referred to as NMEA0183 connection.

    2016 242X connext "gateway comm error"

    So today my connext screen started alarming immediately at start up. I was able to silence the alarm, but it would return in 5 minutes or so. It also resulted in the fuel gauge showing nothing and no speed info etc. Both engines started and ran fine. @tek4fun any thoughts on where to start...

    Engine stop and restart...

    First 2 days of use have been a blast, we went from an AR210 (2007) to an AR240 (2016). Right off the bat one of the things I do not like about the Connext screen and start up is that when you turn the engines off you have to wait for the startup sequence and tach sweep before restarting, when...

    [Connext] - Removing a stored bluetooth device?

    On the new Connext system, does anyone know how to delete a device that has been paired via bluetooth so that it no longer shows up as a stored device?
