You have to have the Gateway to get the info back and forth with the HDS. The Gateway must have magical components in that little box, to be worth what they want.

I guess you could call the Gateway free, if you buy the Xi5 from Universal Mania for $1285 shipped and the gateway for $225 and get the $100 rebate versus buying them at Cabelas or BPS . It'll be $1410 after rebate versus about $ 1650 + tax at the stores. I bought my Xi5 and the removable mount from Universal Mania, and highly recommend them.

cajun fryer, you can control your Xi5 from an HDS Gen 2 or 3. Not sure on a Gen 1. I love my Xi5 for what it's worth, and will put it on my next boat also.
