NW KS | What does it take to set up a nav with an ez-pilot motor? There was a thread a while back about it but there weren't a whole lot of details. |

|
Alberta Canada | If you have the SAM-200 and NAV already, all you need is a cable kit. Trimble part# 85000-02. |
|
| |
|
NW KS | What about the software side? What version does the nav box need to be on? What about the vehicle profile? |
|
| |
|
Alberta Canada | Ver 13 on the NAV is needed to get the newest list of profiles. There were quite a few added with this version. There are specific profiles for APMD.

Stanford IL | How much better performance do you get this way over the standard EZ-Pilot? Is it worth the extra cost of the NAV? |

northeast ohio | The current installation guide (china) on the Trimble website shows the special NAV to SAM200 cable. This changed from last fall when it showed using a standard NAV and EZPilot cabling joined by a short "jumper" cable which appeared to be the four CAN wires. It also used a wheel angle sensor which is not shown with the current version. I have no idea if using a jumper is still an alternative to buying the new harness.

Alberta Canada | It's performance is comparable to AutoPilot. It will engage at 0mph, it will work in reverse, the SAM-200 works as a steering sensor so it reacts a lot better when it is engaged, if you use it with a 2050 it will work with next swath. Line acquisition is tremendously better than EZ-Pilot. If you were to pay full price for a NAV it is a toss up if it is worth it but if you can pick one up used I think the performance is definitely worth the upgrade. |

Alberta Canada | The steering sensor is not used anymore. They use the encoder in the SAM-200. I've heard that jumper will work but you will need all the cables from a AM NAV kit to hook the NAV to the display and power so if you don't have that you might as well get the APMD kit.

NW KS | That jumper cable was my other question. Do you have the pinout? Looks like it is just the can wires hook together. I have a nav box and a full ez-pilot. I'm wanting to give it a try to see how much it improves things. Also I'm curious as to why the steering angle sensor is no longer used. |

|
Alberta Canada | I don't have a pin out for that jumper. According to Trimble the data from the SAM-200 for wheel position was just as good as from a Autosence so they quite using the Autosence. |

NW KS | I am still having trouble putting together the jumper cable (part number 100468). I more or less have it figured out. pinout for the jumper would be helpful but I think I could also get it figured out If I knew what the wires on plug 4 on the nav harness were. |

Central Illinois | Hate to but in , which consoles can we use? FMX, 750 and 2050 i'm guessing. |
|
| |
|
Alberta Canada | Officially only the 750. But since the NAV does the steering it does work on the FMX and 2050. |
