    Live Sight - Source Not Found

    I have Carbon's with the installed LIVE software update. Just purchased a Ghost with the 3-1 active imaging nose cone. The bow unit now has the Live Sight icon's but when I select them, it launches but says "No Source". I cannot find where to change the transducer setting in that screen. Do I need to go elsewhere? Down, side, sonar all work great.

    Do you have it plugged into the correct port on the unit? It should be plugged into the black port. Also need to make sure the channel is turned on under settings.

    Correct, you also cannot have any unit under Gen 3 on your Ethernet, you must be sure Multisource is turned on and both Channel 1 and Channel 2 must be active.
    The Ghost will plug into the Sonar port (Channel 1) and the Livesight will plug into the Structure port (Channel 2). If you have a unit older than Gen 3, Multisource will not be available. To check these settings go to Pages, Settings, Sonar.

    You need the ps-1 module with the carbons if you have the module you will have to use the yellow wire when you install.

    Ah, good catch. So the OP will need to select the module as the source rather than the unit. Sorry for not reading more closely

    The ghost had the black and blue(?) plugs and they are in the bow unit. The console unit is the same. It does NOT have the live scope icons so I assumed the bow unit recognized the upgraded transducer. I will look to see if channel one and channel 2 are on.

    Do I still need the PS-1 module someone referenced below?

    Yes, the Carbon will not be able to use the Livesight transducer directly. It must go directly through the module and then connect by Ethernet to the Carbon. Not sure what you mean about two plugs from the Ghost. There is only one transducer cable that connect to the unit from the Ghost.

    Well CRAPOLA! That nose cone doesn't do Live Sight. Still need to purchase the $1000 transducer.
