Humminbird 360 and 1199 software requirements

[indianabasshunter]

I plan on installing a new bow mount 360 and hooking it up to an 1199 this weekend and didn't know if the software on the 1199 would need to be updated in order to make this function. The 1199 was purchased new around Christmas of 2015 and has the software that enables jigging mode. 

 

If the software does need updated can you please provide some tips on doing so? I've never attempted this before. 

 

Thanks for for your help.

I believe I've found the answer to this on Humminbirds website.

The 1199ci HD SI Combo got 360 software when it was made.

Register the 360 so you get the software for it, install it so you will have the reverse offset setting that is opposite the transom version that the unit has.

Thanks for your help Wayne. 

 

Ended up hooking the 360 to an 898 instead of the 1199. Need to order an Ethernet adapter for the 1199.

Yep, need a AS EC QDE Ethernet adapter.

If you have a Gander Mt. near you, they have those in stock.

That's good news, next time I'm home I'll pick one up.
