Important Notes and Prerequisites

Know before you update

NOTICE! To ensure a smooth update process, please keep the unit and MEGA Live TargetLock powered on until the update is fully completed. Interrupting the power supply during the update can result in system instability or data loss. It is crucial for the integrity of the update that both the unit and MEGA Live TargetLock remain operational throughout the entire procedure.

  • DO NOT power the unit off during the update!
  • You will need a Class 10 SD or Micro SD (depending on Humminbird model) no larger than 32GB, and 60 MB of available space. 
  • Head unit software MUST be installed BEFORE installing any accessory software.

Download and Update Instructions

  1. After installing the appropriate update to your compatible Humminbird unit, download the update file to an SD card.
  2. Go to the Accessory Test view and confirm that MEGA Live is connected and that the version is 1.130 or newer.
  3. Insert a SD card with the new MEGA Live software.
  4. Respond to the two prompts that appear to start the update process (Select Yes and then No).
  5. During the update process you may notice a few “lost source” notifications. This is ok. You do not need to respond to these prompts.
  6. Wait until the MEGA Live disconnects and then reconnects with the new software version displayed on the Accessory Test view. This process could take up to 8 minutes! Do not pull the card out, restart the HELIX, or restart the MEGA Live.
  7. Remove the SD card with the update once the update is complete.
