Have had unit nearly three years. Runs on NMEA 2000, connected to Gen3-9 (bow), Gen2 Touch 9 (console), Gen 1-5 (dash), Point One.
Blue GPS light comes on when TM is dropped; immediately goes away.
Does not respond to remote commands
Lowrance units show “No Autopilot Computer"
Checked wiring inside TM; all appears OK
Checked NMEA drops; all appear fine
Got no help from Motorguide customer service rep. After describing symptoms, his lazy response was “There’s no way to know without troubleshooting” with no offer to discuss steps entailed.
Hoping someone here has ideas, since I already had to replace the damned Pinpoint module ($400+) between years one and two because the wiring pulled loose. I did upgrade recently to the Gen2 Touch at console, from a Gen2 non-touch, but that's the only config change I've made.
Thanks.

Idk if it matters or not, does the newer Gen 2 have the latest software version?

Same thing happened with mine. I took it to Boris and they re-flashed it and works great.
