Updating instrument software from e7

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

CB,

Should the MFD be updated with the v17.45 software update, then there would be no need to update the MFD's software again, unless later a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFD software update is released in the interim. No update should be required for the equipment to recognize one another. With respect to updating the system's other components, you may want to simply wait until you have fully assembled the system. Should the location of the vessel not support high speed Wi-Fi Internet access, then you will need to bring a microSD memory card containing the software update files to the vessel. Alternatively, should none of the equipment have yet been installed, then you may want to consider interfacing the MFD to the i70, p70, ACU100, EV1 and ITC5 on a bench to permit the software within the devices to be updated prior to bringing it to the boat.
