Yes, I'm not having issues with the SI or DI, only 2D. And I'll also say that removing the Y cable and just plugging the supplied Mega+ transducer kinda works. It'll read bottom, but have to crank the sensitivity all the way up, and it's picking up nothing at all in the water column.
tried all on my solix's today, no more problem with the SI. all is working properly. all h-bird ducers

This is not the answer to your question, but while you are waiting I had a question. Did you use the HB HW supplied 2D transducer prior to the Airmar and the update? I have been very pleased with the 2D I get with the "Y" cable and HW transducer. I have not loaded the latest update yet.(Solix Gen 1). Bob
Tell me where has a slow movin' once quick draw outlaw got to go
After the update, I have to reset my sonar defaults each time I power up otherwise my 2d, Mega down and SI don't work. Frustrating.

I did the update in the house without any TD's, when I hooked up in the boat it didn't see any TD's so I turned off auto and manually set the TD's. That didn't work and I had to default the sonar settings, then the Td,s came back up in auto mode. Something is weird with this new update

Had another sonar lock up again after this update
At least its a quick fix - place in standby for a couple seconds and all works again

I did do a factory reset and after the next power up the same problem. However after one power up, I switched to SI and there was a banner at the bottom of the page that stated “Pinging Disabled”. Instead of doing a sonar reset, I went to the Sonar Source Select page and saw that 2d pinging was off. I turned it on and now I no longer have the issue when I power up the unit. Just wanted to post this in case someone else has the same issue.
Update on mine, Humminbird reviewed pics I sent them, and my unit is off for service as of today. I'm pretty sure I had an underlying problem with the unit to begin with.
Finally tried 3.75 today. No issues at all. No lockup’s. Everything worked besides the battery dying in my RC-2.

Has anyone figured out how to receive Mega 360 with a Solix 12 at the console and a Helix 12 G3N at the bow? I know they wont share but looking for some sort of work around to view 360 on both.
