Welcome to the Raymarine Forum JJRocchio,

Please click here to view a FAQ addressing this subject. As SPX autopilots will block MDS, switching the autopilot OFF or unplugging it from the backbone will permit use of the MDS feature. With respect to use of SPX autopilots with MFDs running LightHouse II or LightHouse 3 software, it is recommended that the ST70 autopilot control head and SPX course computer be updated with the latest available software (the currently installed versions may be verified via the ST70 autopilot control head's diagnostics feature. Should these components require a software update, then it may not be performed via an Axiom MFD. MFDs running LightHouse II, C/E-Series Widescreen MFDs and A/E-Series Classic MFDs may update the software within SPX autopilot devices.
