This is interesting, my Elite-7 HDI has an NMEA socket on the back, will it work with my Xi5 and if so what functions will work? I've been told I need an HDS gen 2 or greater to work with the Xi5? Elite 7ti will but an Elite 7 will not. Thanks, I kinda figured that but was excited when I read about the NMEA plug.... The NMEA is used to share waypoints. So, the Elite 7 can connect to your NMEA network to do that. As for doing anymore with the xi5, I don't think so. For the HDS gen2 and above, the integration to xi5 is much more extensive; controlling it from the HDS, go to waypoints, follow routes, etc... I have mine hooked up to HDS gen3 (2 of them). Good luck, Tim

Is there a way to set up the Hook 7 2 with gps up with an XI3 or XI5? I looked at the posts above but am a bit confused with the adaptor cable that David posted.
Hawg, so you are saying you have been running the XI5 with the Hook series unit?

In order to control the Xi with the Lowrance unit via the NMEA network, you need an Elite-7 Ti or above or an HDS-2, HDS-3 or HDS Carbon. The cable described earlier in the thread is to connect the Lowrance unit to the Xi5 built in transducer for 2D sonar.
