I just finished packaging my Lowrance Elite 5 HDI, which I use on my boat, in the Lowrance PPP-18I Ice Pack. The PPP-18I Ice Pack equipment is not directly configured for the Elite 5 HDI but all the parts are available to package the sonar unit in the ice pack in a clean installation. I will be putting together and posting a guide for this, hopefully in the next week.
Can you get the flasher function with the elite 5?
Reeds sells them on ebay for between $66-$70. I used a 10% coupon to get it for an even 60 all in, couldn't see the logic in buying an ice pack that come doesn't come with the adapter cable needed for blue plug head units(which tacks on another $30 on top of $150).
Thanks a lot, I actually just have the basic lowrance elite 5 unit . Would it still work with that? Also I am a bit confused by reading through what I would actually need it make this possible. What is the quality compared to a unit actually made for the ice? Thanks for all the help
Cabelas, Kevin you will love the Lowrance on the ice. I don't even use the flasher mode anymore the split screen option in graph mode is great or zoom your whole screen in on bottom.
THank you all I ordered the kit. One more question, how do you actually get the flasher dial to come up on the elite 5? I've never seen that option when using the device in boat.Thanks
Oneshotonekill I just ordered and received this Description PPP-18I Travelling Kit 000-10209-001 Travelling Kit. It and with everything I needed and also Included the blue plug connector (even though I didn't need it) works great and that's all I needed.
Oneshotonekill you are correct but the uni plug adapter was in mine and also was in my buddy's that ordered the same kit. He actually ordered the Uni plug adapter at the same time as ordering it and sent it back because it came with the unit.
