Navman smartcraft gateway problem

[Miller]

Right, any navman experts here?

I have a navman 8120 and have just had a optimax fitted..I decided to fit the smartcraft gateway( for the bling factor) but cant get it to work!

There are 3 lights on the gateway, one for power, one for talking to the smartcraft and one for for talking to the Navman; I cant get the Navman one to light up.

I have gone as per the instructions and set the Navman to talk to the Smartcraft but to no avail

Anybody offer any suggestions?

Check it's the right lead - I struggled with one of those for ages before I realised they had sent the wrong one!

Hi Cookee

Do you mean the smartcraft gateway? This is the only thing i can see that is the problem, the two lights are on - power and smartcraft but the yellow light which indicates that the gateway is talking to the Navman will not light up.
Is there a part number for the correct lead.

Cheers

They only do one that I can see; the single engine gateway which I got!(admittedly, they do a double engine one if any is being picky!!)

Hi
I have the same set up, my engine being the Mariner Opti 115. I have to say I had no problems at all.
However is there any evidence that your engine is already "talking" via the Smartcraft gauges? All the info that can be displayed on the 8120 should be accessable on the gauges when scrooling through.
If this info is present, then you can start to examine the Smartcraft gateway to the 8120, if not then the problem will lie elso where.

Just a thought, do the spare unused terminals on the hub have blanking caps on them?

There are or at least were two different gateways, and despite telling the suppliers which one I had they sent the wrong one and it didn't work at all. One is for the smallest Navman unit and the other is for the larger units.

ok, better look into that, according to the fitting instructions, and a multitude of online sites one gateway fits all the different navman models, just has to be set up differently in the head unit

[Miller]

so, can anyone tell me what the right model number is for a gateway to fit the 8120? I have looked on t internet and all it says is Smartcraft single engine gateway!

I have the AA 005020, I think and from what I can see this should work
