    US2 adaptor for a LIve unit

    Just purchased a Lowrance LIve unit, and I'm having trouble finding an adaptor cable that will go from my MInnkota US2 to the 9 pin Live unit at the bow. Are these even available ? Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Google is your friend. I did this exact search last night and must have found 2-300 different sources. With Ama…… being the first

    Thanks for doing it for me but, sadly, that's not the right one. My us2 adaptor has a small, steel, knurled, 4 pin connector.

    Something is not right. You probably should call Minnkota with your serial number and find out what the deal is. The link I posted is for connecting a Minnkota US2 to an HDS Live and provides only 2D sonar. I have set up multiple guys with Fortrex and Ultrex and this is the cable they used.

    That is not the US2 adapter which is a 83/200 kHz 2D transducer.
    The Quest adapter is for DSC (Dual Spectrum CHIRP).

    The US2 adapter has a title of MKR-US2-XX. The XX would be the number for the Lowrance connection.

    Ok, then it’s this one but I believe this will also require a 7 to 9 pin adapter to be able to connect to a Live unit. The Live only has 9 pin connectors.

    Found it!...I think. Says its good for Elite Ti2 and HDS. Looks like a 9 pin. Just hope it works on a "Live" unit. Thanks guys. https://minnkota.johnsonoutdoors.com...-elite-ti2-hds
