New Striker 5cv Vivid question.
« on: Oct 16, 2021, 09:23 AM »
Just received my Striker 5cv ice bundle in the mail and noticed I do not get the ClearVu options on the home screen when I'm out of simulation mode.

Simulation mode for ClearVu only works when your transducer is connected which it is...the transducer remains connected when simulation mode is off but then the ClearVu sonar options disappear from the homescreen.

Is this something that needs to be in the water to be detected and will show on the home screen then?

Ive only had my striker 5cv a few seasons but when using the gt8 ice ducer that comes with the ice pack i dont think its compatiable with the clear vu feature,thats a open water feature that needs the appropriate open water transducer.i can only use traditional sonar,ascope or flasher using the gt8.i dont like how i cant run traditional and flasher split screen but can use zoom and regular view split and ascope.like i said im not all that great with the features yet but know ive never been able to select clear vu with the gt8.
