Just a few weeks ago, I have installed a dimmer for the hardtop lights. Works perfectly. I bought this one: https://camperelektrik.de/products/dimmerkabelsatz-inkl-dimmer-kaby" rel="nofollow - https://camperelektrik.de/products/dimmerkabelsatz-inkl-dimmer-kaby

There should be a micro-c slot at the back of the DC panel, connect it with empty simnet slot around nav.table area and then go to chartplotter->network to see if the Wurth panel is recognized by MFD

| Only see an empty nmea2000 connector. Uses a proprietary can bus to communicate with its relay panel. I guess I'll try adding it to the nmea network and see what happens. |

Hi. Following up on this. My simarine panel is connected to ethernet already. I bought a micro-c cable to hook up the simnet but there isn't a "T" anywhere close by. Shouldn't the chartplotter see it already on the ethernet network?

| Not sure on the layout of your yacht but I bought an in line NMEA T connector and you should find an NMEA cable behind the FM radio (in that area) just connect it there and then run a cable to the back of the panel …not sure what you mean Ethernet cable |

| Hi, there was a bug on Simarine firmware that they updated 2024 June. You will need to update it to get rid of resets. |
