    I have a new Humminbird 859CI HD DI with a new Terrova that has iPilot. Both are iLink compatible. What all do I need to do to make these two devices talk to each other? Do I need the ethernet box from Humminbird or can I just plug the Terrova into the 859 directly???

    Thanks guys!

    Depends if the terrova has I-pilot or I-pilot link?

    If you are only connecting those two together you do not need the Ethernet switch. You terrova I pilot link should have come with the Ethernet cable.

    Do software updates if they are brand new. Update humminbird unit first then erase as card to update head unit on terrova and remote

    Thank you, It looks like I will still need to buy an adapter cable to plug into the back of the HB? The “AS EC QDE” cable…does that sound correct?

    Yes. Sorry I forgot that you need that as well. Those are fairly cheap but it’s ridiculous that we have to buy it with the amount invested already!
