I have now installed a Mini using a Smsung LCD/TV combo on a swing arm. So far computer and monitor are dependent on the inverter. I have a CNX-P1900 DUAL OUTPUT 140 WATT INTELLIGENT DC-DC POWER REGULATOR on the way which will give me the 18 volts required for the mini. Still contemplating the LCD and 12 volt as the converter is built into the unit.
I have installed the Shipmodul BT41 Bluetooth multiplexor. My Seatalk network received its NMEA signal from a Garmin 120 fed into the ST7000 Autopilot control head. I installed the BT41 between the GPS and the A/P Control head. GPS talking to Multiplexor by wire then Multiplexor talking by wire to the A/P and Seatalk network. Autopilot now receives its info from GPSNAV/MACENC, if computer fails the Multiplexor will change modes and use the Garmin 120
The Mini receives its GPS signal via Bluetooth, GPSNAVX can use the GPS signal MACENC receives the GPS from GPSNAVX.
Am working at getting the instrument signal to GPSNAVX, connected the Course computer seatalk connection to the #4 listener port which is switchable to Seatalk mode, but was only able to receive the compass info. So back to drawing board.

I'd rather be sailing…
