Here’s a very useful video from Lowrance that takes you through the software update process for an HDS unit in a simple step-by-step demonstration. You’ll need a blank SD card and an SD card reader for your computer (internal or external). Go to the Lowrance Downloads page and find the update for your unit. You should keep track of which updates you have already applied to avoid confusion in the future and to avoid unnecessary duplicate updates.
It’s a great video but they must have done this in the middle of the office because you can hear other people talking to customers on the phones in the background. Maybe next time they’ll go into a quiet room to make the video.

I bought the new Lowrance 9 Elite ti and was able to successfully download the Fish Reveal update by using WiFi. Here’s the post that goes over the steps I took to install the Lowrance Sonar FishReveal update. I decided to create a step-by-step video that shows the entire process from start to finish on my Lowrance Elite 5 ti. You can see in the video that I connect to WiFi and my Lowrance automatically detects the latest update. I then install to the sonar and the fish reveal update works! There are rumors going around that the FishReveal update won’t work on the Lowrance Elite 5 ti but in this video you will see that it does in fact work.
