23813575 Joystick Driving Software for Auto Pilot, EVC2 | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Joystick Driving software licence for the Auto Pilot, enabling the Joystick Driving function introduced with EVC 2 on Gasoline engines. With Joystick Driving, the operator can steer the boat without using the steering wheel. Depending on whether the joystick is tilted or twisted, it is used to change the heading of the Auto Pilot or, when twisted, to change the steering angle. Thanks to the integration of the Auto Pilot, Joystick Driving keeps the boat on a steady course while making it possible to change the heading without reaching forward and pressing Auto Pilot settings on the display. Must be ordered together with the Auto Pilot reactor (22793140). Identified on the VMM box label as JDRV.
