    i-Pilot Link Controller Update (Version 1.160)
    Release Date: 06/12/2013

    Description:
    Version 1.160 IMPORTANT NOTE: This software update must be performed with the lastest Humminbird software updates of 6.640 or 6.680 (model dependent). This update includes the following: Enhancements to advanced autopilot for better tracking, Changes to cruise control to aid when sharp turns are encountered, Bug fixes for Spot-Lock to resolve an issue where the prop speed was ramping too aggressively, Fixed a bug that was causing some icons on the fishfinder to change to the wrong icon. Fixes an issue where if the footpedal is used for steering while in autopilot, i-Pilot may stop making automatic steering corrections

    Prerequisite:

    Prepare the Equipment
    Turn on the main power source.
    Power on the trolling motor. If you have a Terrova or Riptide ST trolling motor, deploy it into the water.
    Turn on the remote by pressing the OK key. Ensure the battery is well charged. If the battery charge is not sufficient, you will be prompted during the process to plug in the charger.
    Turn on the Fishfinder by pressing the POWER/LIGHT key, and follow the on-screen prompts to start Normal mode.
    Press and hold the Fishfinder VIEW key. Select System > Accessory Test.
    Confirm that i-Pilot Link is listed as connected. It may take a minute for the equipment to be detected. You will refer to this view throughout the update. Note the current software version number shown next to i-Pilot Link.

    NOTE: If the Accessory Test View is not shown in the submenu, select the Main Menu > Views tab > Accessory Test > Visible.

    Instructions:
    After updating the software in your Hummionbird unit to version 6.610 or higher, save this Controller software to an SD card and install the SD card with the updated software files into the Fishfinder card slot.
    Fishfinder Update: The Fishfinder will recognize the new software. Follow the dialog box instructions to confirm software installation. i-Pilot Link Update: The software will be updated automatically. It may take up to two minutes for the software to be detected on the network, and the Fishfinder will display on-screen dialog boxes to indicate that the update is in progress. NOTE: You may notice that the i-Pilot Link will disconnect and then reconnect during the software update. This is part of the update process.
    When the i-Pilot Link software has been updated, the new software version number will be displayed on the Fishfinder Accessory Test View.
    To finish updating the remote and controller, proceed to the software update information for the i-Pilot Link Remote.
