For problem #1, If the status icon in the AIS/RADAR panel remains yellow that means there is no AIS NMEA data present. Specificially you would need to be receiving !AIVDM NMEA data sentences. These NMEA data sentences will only be present when your AIS receiver is receiving AIS transponder transmissions from other vessels. You want to make sure that the Multiplexer is in "AIS" mode using the Miniplex Configuration Tool.
Now this relates to problem #2, if the 42 BT is in "AIS" mode, then Channel 1 output will only be the RS232 input receivied (i.e. AIS NMEA data).
You would need to split output #2 into two and send it to both the autopilot and the VHF. Any NMEA data output can drive up to 4 receivers.
If you do not already have the Miniplex Configuration Tool, then contact GPSNavX for the latest version that supports "AIS" mode.
In the future for quickest technical support email GPSNavX directly.
