Motor Guide Xi3 dongle Cable Guide - 03/06/22 10:29 PM

I have a Motor Guide Xi3 which has the dongle for built in Sonar. I have a Garmin Striker 4CV. Anyone know the exact cable I need to connect the two? The Garmin is a 4 pin transducer into the unit. I bought two cables so far from Garmin with no luck in the connection.

If anyone has connected these two before, any help would be appreciated!

Thanks for the reply...unfortunately I guess my xi3 has been upgraded as this is not the cable I have on mine. But I appreciate the help!

Assuming you have a connector that fits each of the ports e.g. one on the transducer and one on your head unit, you could always wire it up yourself. The pinouts are generally available from manufacturers website. Nothing magical about these cables so if push comes to shove do it yourself.
