Just updated Cerbo GX to v3.50. From Raymarine MFD app, trying to select 'Remote Console" produces a request for scanning a QR code. I don’t want to have to do this in normal use at sea: how can this be avoided? (It seems the Raymarine AXIOM MFD, which is Android-based, is being treated as a remote Android screen by GX v3.50 rather than being recognized as a marine MFD?)
It’s not your kit. I suffer it too on a just a pc. I’ve raised the question at a higher level, even tried some suggestions without success. Please be patient, you’re not alone.
Thanks for the report though, I thought it was just me… 
Hi both,
When running the New UI, the MFD App will not show the Remote Console as you are used to.
Its an unfortunate drawbacks of the New UI. Its using a technology that most MFDs don’t support.
To keep using Remote Console on your MFD, keep using the Classic UI.
For what do you need Remote Console on your MFD when at sea?
We tried to add all functionality into the MFD App, such that you normally don’t need Remote Console.

Hi Matthijs, Are there any advantages to using the 3.50 in conjunction with Raymarine MFD’s?
Is there more in the pipeline?
Personally, I can work around this, now that we know.
I live aboard, and have always liked the MFD App for it’s big figures, especially now with the choice of Watts display - that’s a winner, thank you.
MFD App also shows the correct Battery Temperature, rather than the incorrect ones shown in the GUI (both versions) and VRM. That issue I raised just yesterday… Battery Temperature Reporting
Thank you for your help with this.
Matthjis: it would be better to ask why we have a different format in the MFD App, rather than the Remote Console GUI ! The MFD App presentation is poor in comparison to both the old and the new GUI. I know many marine users go straight to the remote console GUI and leave this on so long as they have internet access…which is much easier these days than it used to be, even at sea. After such a long wait for GUI v2 and having seen through beta how great this is, what a disappointment to find we cannot access it. I’ll go back to GUI v1. I know the Marine segment is still important to Victron, so hopefully this matter will get further review.
Thanks
Hi @Alaskn ,
The requirements for the MFD app are quite different. That is why its different from gui-v2.
MFD app needs to be responsive: it needs to work on a small section on the MFD, and large section, and vertical section, and horizontal section. Numbers need to be easily readable from a distance.
gui-v2 / new UI needs to run on GX devices, fixed with, limited hardware capacity, Venus OS - as opposed to some OS or browser made by Raymarine, Garmin and so forth.
Lastly, MFD App is mostly focussed on Marine; not ESS and not anything else; which allows more freedom and making it more specific for that use case.
