Furuno FA170 Initial Password

[Arthurc]

Hi,
I'm in the process of installing my FA170 AIS transponder but hit a snag, the dealer I bought it from is closed Saturday and I need the initial password to unlock it and enter my MMSI, etc. if any of you knows the password can you PM me?

Thanks!!
Arthur

In other apps they use 123 but that's just a guess

Here is another link...you have to read the joking but to me it might mean that the PW is PASSWORD .....but see what you get out of it. This is for the earlier version http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/f13/change-mmsi-on-a-furuno-fa-150-ais-169309.html

It was my understanding that the dealer must program your MMSI number.

I was able to get this so if anyone ever has this issue in the future you can DM me.

Not sure if the same but on my Furuno FA150 the default password was
Menu - Ent - Disp - Dim - Nav Status - Menu (see attached photo for key layout). You’ll note it’s in a row pattern so if the FA170 keys are different it might be a similar pattern. Hope this helps.
