Adding a NMEA2000 GPS and add an additional cable to E120
So what happens when You add a NMEA2000, N2K, GPS to the network ?
Nothing much actually. No conflicts. The E120 is still "hocked" on the old Raymaring RS125 GPS and the Garmin GMI 10/20 shows the info from the new NME2000 GPS with some additional data compared to the old GPS.
The chosen GP:s is Garmin GPS 17X because it was on sale for just 20 €. It is mounted behind the instrument panel.
The picture shows the GPS at the right and the ST converter in the upper part

Berker outlet lid
Improving the looks with a lid
The boat is equipped with Berker Minikombi outlets/switches. These are not sold anymore but the series Berker Integro Flow fits.
So to improve the looks at the helm I purchased a Berker lid with hinge to cover the 12V outlet. Much better looking, right ?

Streaming to an old car stero
Streaming audio from a device with 3,5 mm earphone jack to an old car stereo
The boat was delivered with 2 Alpine Radio CDE-9848RB. One in the deck saloon and one in the master cabin. Its a god radio but sorry to say it lacks both bluetooth and aux input.
So for streaming audio to these a use a Linocell FM transmitter from Kjell & Company
Linocell at Kjell & Company
Just charge the transmitter, select a frequency on the transmitter and match it on the radio, plug it to Your device and stream

USB charger
The boat is equipped with Berker switches and sockets. In the master cabin the outlets in the picture are placed at the end of the bed so its a god place to charge a mobile phone. You could use a charger with the cigarett socket but its nicer with a USB outlet
One way is to use the original Berker but it is both pretty expensive, just outputs 1 Ampere and have only one output.

Huawei unlock
Unlocking the Huawei E173 modem/dongle
When changing the SIM card to another operator, from Telia to Comviq, the program ”Mobile Partner” demanded an unlock code. There was a prompt with ”Unlock the data card”. After some investigation, Google with ”unlock huawei dongle free”, I found a site.
Link to unlock tool
Here You could get the 8 digit unlock code without downloading any software. Just put in the IMEI number, klick on submit and You will have the unlock code.

Huawei E173 and Mac
When installing an access router in the boat I chose the Dovado Pro AC, Dovado Products. One thing was that it uses 12VDC and an other that it can connect to a neighboring 2.4/5GHz WiFi network via SpotBoost®
For many years we have used Telia, Sweden, as a broadband-supplier and for several years ago, as backup, we also got a Huawei E173 modem, which i would like to use with the router. For some months ago I phoned Telia suport since the modem no longer ”talked” to my Mac OS X 10.11, El Capitan. The supplied software didn’t work anymore. The answer from the support was that the support for this modem was terminated.
Despite their statement there is a working software called ”Mobile Partner” which seems ?? to work with all Huawei modems
Link to the software
Otherwise just Google "Huawei Mobile Partner"
And a link to unlock the Huawei modem.
