Howd, New Evo pilot is installed, and just got my ST-STNG converter, however it's and old software version. Spoke to Raymarine and they say the only way to update software is via a MFD. They gave me a number for a place that does it, and charges for it, not sure how much as no one there.
Anyone got any other ideas? Or got a MFD laying around home that could do it from a SD card?
Should of just brought a new version and not a Gum tree special... though there is no way to tell what software is on new ones either!!
Any help appreciated

Be happy to do it for you if you were in Qld. MFD needs to be at least an A model.
Update, got most working, 2 different cables supplied....one must be NMEA as pin out was different, anyhow, the other cable worked and I've got wind speed, and depth data converting to the P70s/Evo1, SOG is blank..guess no data out on Instrument, and wind direction is sometimes close to ST50 instrument, other times 180degrees out... gotta love Raymarine tech....
i borrowed a converter up to the 2nd last software update and no difference from old update interms of of my issues.
Now at a lost end, will contact Raymarine however the ST50 is officially not compatible with STNG.. guess some strings missing or head unit instrument output on ST's is the issue....SOG I can live without, however wind direction when using Wind vane mode does a 360degree tack until I take stop it..
Any Raymarinese translators out there? 
Hey Carbon are you connecting your st50 tridata to the st-stng converter & ensuring you only have power from one source - the blue ray marine stng connector into the converter.
When I recently updated I initially did not disconnect the original power and it played up.

Yep, cut off the 12v+ red wire from ST1 circuit, just ground and signal connected... just odd some work, and some don't.. wind direction is a black hole, might tape a piece of string/tell tail to my P70 for wind direction...
