Any local MN Humminbird owners have the AS PC3 USB Cable they could borrow out?

I have a Helix 5 sonar that can’t update to the latest Humminbird software update because it doesn’t have an SD card slot. The only way to update it is via the Humminbird proprietary PC Connection cable (AS PC3) that costs $50+ online. I can’t justify paying that for a quick 30 second 1 time software update, but if any local Marinas/Dealers/Humminbird enthusiasts have the cable and would let me use it to update, I would be most graceful. I have a spare 12v battery I could use to power the unit, so I just need the USB cable..Shoot me a pm if you have one you would be willing to let me borrow it.

Here’s a link to the cable – https://www.humminbird.com/Products/AS-PC3/

I think I have one

Isn’t there a micro sd card slot?

no sd slot on the Sonar only models…

I know it’s alot of work to purchase/find a cable to use, but the software update I need allows you to remove the big white data boxes off the screen and use the preset overlays instead, this gives you alot more usable screen space, important on a small 5″ display…

Same ? Anybody upgrade & still have the cable?

If you have a cabelas close by they used to do the update for you if you brought your graph in, at Owatonna anyway they did

Hi,
I am in need of that same cable to update the Software/Firmware on my Helix 7 CHIRP DI G2. I contacted Humminbird and they no longer carry the cable. Does anyone have one they are willing to sell or borrow?
I verified with Humminbord there is no MicroSD slot on this unit.
It is the AS AC3 Cable.

Thanks,

Mike

wow, hard to believe a 7″ DI unit doesn’t have GPS and therefor an SD card slot for a map chip…That cable is super hard to find, ebay is probably going to be your best bet nowadays…

here’s a site to try, not sure if its still valid – https://www.windlass-anchor.com/humminbird-as-pc3-usb-pc-connection-kit-p/42469.htm

Thanks for looking but looks like that site is defunct or non working. I tried to add that to the cart and nothing happens. I went to the site and it says it can’t be reached.
