IPILOT remote issue

    I’ve had a powerdrive IPilot for about 3 months now. My remote only gives me all of the functions about 1/3 of the time. The remote only shows the prop, and the prop speed number. It beeps at me when I try to use any other features.

    Anybody seen this issue? It’s been doing it for a few months, and I’d hoped it was just me, but it’s definitely not working the way it should.

    You buy the right system?

    Yep, worked for a while, after a few uses it only shows the prop and prop speed.

    No idea why. I had it re-learn the remote also.

    I had a iossue with mine, called minn kota, they said to change the battery, sounds crazy but it worked. I only had it for a couple of weeks before i changed the battery. Hope this helps

    swap the remote out at an authorized service center or call Minn Kota directly. I haven’t had very prompt service via email, but on the phone they are quick. They will get you a new remote and a shipping label to return the old one.

    It can be done with a part swap.You will lose the foot pedal though.I’d much rather have the iPilot than the old style pedal.It was discussed on another board that a non-V2 can become a V2,thus allowing installation of iPilot(round plug).

    Well, changed the battery and still no good. Looks like I’ll be calling in tomorrow to get a new remote.
