Hi,

can I connect EV100 to Axiom 9" RV?

Just made a purchase but saw someone posted a note on Amazon
Raymarine Axiom review saying this is impossible.

Please HELP! Thanks

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum ray18,

Axiom MFDs are indeed designed to be interfaced with Evolution autopilots such as the EV-100. In a nutshell, a powered and properly terminated SeaTalkng / NMEA 2000 backbone having sufficient spur sockets to interface the MFD and each of the Evolution autopilot components will need to be installed. As the SeaTalkng / NMEA 2000 communications plug of the Axiom MFDs features a DeviceNet (M) plug, an A06045 or A06075 DeviceNet (F) to SeaTalkng Spur Adapter Cable will be used to interface the Axiom MFD's DeviceNet (M) plug to a spur socket with the SeaTalkng / NMEA 2000 backbone which has been constructed from SeaTalkng networking components.
