United StatesAbout RayRemote RayRemote transforms your iphone into a virtual remote keypad for Raymarine multifunction displays. iOS Devices = Best performance achieved on iPhone 3GS or better and iPad 2 or better. Multi-Functional Display software requirement – v 3.15 or later. Compatible displays (MFDs) – e, c, ES, Axiom RayRemote emulates the keypad of Raymarine c-Series and e-Series displays, giving you control of all the MFD functions with large full screen keypad. The virtual uni-controller lets you rotate through menus and make menu adjustments effortlessly. The app also provides a viewing mode, which mirrors the MFD’s display. To use this app please upgrade your Raymarine c-Series or e-Series Multi-Functional Display to software version 3.15 or later. Software upgrades are available for free at www.raymarine.com/support. Note - RayRemote will also run on iPad, though it is primarily intended for iPhone. Getting Started Download the RayRemote app, and install it on your device. Next, connect to your Multifunction Display via Wi-Fi (see MFD operators manual for Wi-Fi setup details). When the Wi-Fi connection is established, launch the app. You should now see the same image on your mobile device as you do on your MFD. Simply touch the screen and a button will appear to switch to remote control mode. Note - autopilot activation/deactivation is not possible via a mobile device.
Unable to use
I am unable to use this Ray Remote app at all! I have successfully installed and connected to my Axiom 12 MFD, but the display on my iphone is not interactive at all! And when I’m connected to the Axiom MFD via WiFi, it blocks cellular data and makes my phone unusable!
United StatesCan see and control at the same time? Really?!
Did anyone actually test this? Totally worthless. Also, why can we not connect over Wifi when all devices are on the same network? Connecting to the MFD’s Wifi has no network connectivity. On a connected yacht, it’d be nice to remain connected.
United StatesUseless and can’t get rid of it
Set up this app and my MFD to connect by WiFi, but the app continues to say it cannot find my MFD. Raymarine technician says I did everything correctly, so puzzled why it wasn’t hooking up. But as an earlier reviewer remarked, once the app cannot find the MFD, there is no way to get it to stop looking. The only choice is to REPEAT the search. I tried to stop it by shutting my iPhone down, but when I restarted the phone the app was still searching. Deleting the app from my homepage did nothing, and deleting it completely did nothing; it is still “in the cloud” and when it comes back it is still in search mode. Presumably this would prevent me from trying to hook up by Bluetooth, which one must do in order to use the app while sailing and away from your WiFi. After reading earlier reviews, it appears the app is useless anyway, since you cannot both see the chart and the controls simultaneously (I can’t vouch for this since I can’t get that far.) Save yourself the grief of trying to get it to work.
United StatesWorthless
There is no way to close this app once it’s opened, you have to reboot your phone. Perhaps it has never been updated to work with a newer iPhone that doesn’t have a home button.
United StatesStill the Worst
On an iPhone this is only good as a mirrored device. On an iPad it is better but drops the connection if you minimize the app to switch over to weather or something else. Just give us an update please!
United StatesUseless
Agree completely with the previous review. For example, I can view the screen and see AIS traffic, but I can’t pull up AIS info without leaving the flying bridge and using the MFD. It is clear that Raymarine’s main interest is to sell me another overpriced MFD.
United StatesReally?
If the app doesn’t find your mfd, it’s locked in a loop of “do you want to retry?” There is no “no” option and no swiping up to force-quit the app. You have to do a hard restart of your phone. How did Raymarine or even apple let this get through?
