    Megalink A1 or A2

    Anyone know where or how to hook up to these? I’d like to run my livescope box through one but not sure how

    A1 & A2 are under the console, paired and labeled orange and black leads. If they've never been used, they may have butt slices on them.

    Alright Reggie. My black and orange wires run to the bow of the boat. I hooked the power cord up to that. So now, when I turn my master power on on the mega link the Garmin automatically turns on. I have no idea?

    Make sure to turn off the A1 or A2 (which ever you used for your graph) prior to turning off the master power on the megalink touch pad.

    Correct, A1 & A2 are nothing other than switches to power accessories. They do not have power unless the MegaLink system is powered up with the red power button.

    I’m not sure I got it to the correct wires then because neither A1 or A2 have to be on for my graph to power up.

    They should have paper tag labels near the end of the wire.

    Well I hooked up the graph to the only orange and black wire I could find which ran to the bow. I ran the livescope direct to the battery

    A1 & A2 end under the console, they run to the bach to the MegaLink controller.

    For the life of me I couldn’t find them under the console. I pulled the megalink touch pad out and the only orange black wires I found ended up at the bow. Maybe my boat got wired on a Monday

    Those A1 & A2 wires are coming from the back of the boat off of the controller and dead end under the console.

    If you unscrew the main megalink panel you should be able to find those wires. Like TX Champ said they run from the back of the boat to the Drivers side console.
