Default Hooking up Lowrance Sonic Hub

I'm installing the Sonic Hub on my boat and ran into a snag

Instruction say must "Enable Audio" on the HDS 8 unit
Going thru the menu that's not an option

Go under Settings/Page and at the bottom is the switch to turn it on. Remeber this location, because if you are not listening to music, turn this off and it will shut off the sonic hub amp and you will not drain your battery.

I have power to the plug that plugs into the hub but the unit will not power on if I have the yellow wire hooked up or not

Default menu menu

Hit the menu key twice and then the pages key. There will be an option to active the sonic hub. I believe it's the bottom choice.

All yellow wires need to be hooked together to activate them. I've put a separate toggle switch in my wiring so I can shut down the Sonic Hub as to not drain the battery when I want the Ipod/radio turned off.

See attached image.

This will turn power of amp on or off, no need for power switch.

I think I have a networking problem.
This is the first device that I have tried to hook up.

What is the Network starter kit?

Make sure you have the latest software installed and I promise you that the enable audio button will appear. That's what I needed to do to get mine working.
