I see you have a 2007 so you already have SMART craft data going to your helm. I want the add this next year when more boat bucks become available. My question is you must have had to add This to your open port so I am going to assume the additional open port on the VV is what the tech can plug into?
I did not have an available port so I had to buy a 6 way port to replace one of the 2 4 way ports. I plugged the wires from the old 4 port into the new 6 port and put a dust cover over the open port. i have the SC1000 gauges.
Meant to say, “I just used the port on the starboard side”
The VV will read anything you want as long as there is a sensor already installed from factory. If no sensor, say on trim , rudder or fuel tanks... aka fuel level.... then you need to block those on the app so you dont get alarms. Fuel level and guage level are not the same.
My sc1000 gauges can be hard to read in the glare. I like being able to see the data clearly in my iPhone or iPad. Plus the fault codes.
I am getting these exact same errors, what’s is odd, the pitot sensor came up on my main smartcraft SC5000 as well, which is odd since I don’t have outdrives either, v-drives. However, once blocked, all works great. My battery life has been good as well, not noticing any significant drain on my phones battery, even though screen remains on the entire time and the brightness is all the way up.
The SC5000 hard unit was used in all installation versions of merc. If in an outdrive config then its turned on. If in a vdrive or direct drive its turned off. Yours may have been inadvertently turned on some how. Just go in and block the sensor.
