My elite 9 I will turn on when it is parked in my garage at home and it is set up with my home wi fi so it will do new updates if available when they come out ...it has been so long now when I set it up I cant remeber if I had to go into the menu and settings on the Elite 9 and open the gateway to talk to the trolling motor ...I will go look at mine and fire it up and see when I get a chance and get back to you ....does your elite 9 even recognize your motorguide motor when you turn it on (the motor) ...it should show on top of your screen when in trolling mode or anchor mode ect in little words ...then hit navigation from your menus and open motor controls ...does your Elite 9 fs2 have gps in it (mapping) ? My Elite 9 is a Ti2 with gps navigation , I can touch my map and make a mark and have my motor navigate to it and I can touch the fish making a mark on my sonar screen when trolling and have the motor take me to that fish or mark ...it is pretty sweet when working right.
Do you have any problems controlling you xi3 with the Lowrance.
No ...It is a really sweet set up ...
I have mine linked with the motor guide nmea gateway but I cant get it to control the motor
What unit do you have it linked up to ? You might have to do a software up date ..

What did you have to buy to connect the ti2 to the xi3??
You need the motorguide NMEA gateway kit to network the two together th-cam.com/video/nVkztApaAvw/w-d-xo.html
