Adapter Cables for MEGA Side Imaging+(MSI)

All Humminbird SOLIX model fish finders do not need an adapter cable. All Humminbird HELIX models will require an adapter cable. The Built-in MEGA Imaging (MSI and MDI) options provide MEGA Side Imaging+ and/or MEGA Down Imaging+ to select Humminbird models. All motors with a built-in transducer includes 2D Dual Spectrum CHIRP Sonar. All motors 2023 and newer include adapter cables in the box.

Built-In MEGA Side Imaging (MSI) Compatibility

Viewing MEGA Down and Side Imaging

You can only view MEGA Down and Side Imaging with a MEGA DI or MEGA SI HELIX G2N, G3N or G4N Series model and a required adapter, or with any SOLIX Series model. The built-in transducer cannot supply MEGA Imaging to Humminbird models that do not already have the capability. If you have a G2/G2N, G3/G3N HELIX that is not a MEGA SI or MEGA DI model, you will still get 2D Dual Spectrum CHIRP Sonar from the transducer. SOLIX G1 and HELIX G2 and G2N units need to be running the latest software update to view sonar from motors with Built-In MEGA Imaging. You can get the latest version of software for your fish finder here. Built-In MEGA Imaging is not supported by HELIX G1 models or other brands of fish finders.

The Built-In MEGA DI and MEGA SI transducers are only available on new models equipped from the factory and cannot be added to an existing trolling motor.
