True Wind, FI-501 Wind & FI-504 Multi

I’ve a new sailing boat from 2010 and I wish to be able to configure one of my FI504's to show the True wind in degrees to assist with passage planning.

I get the apparent wind angle relative to our heading on the FI-501Wind. So I’m assuming we can also get the True wind angle for display on the FI504 Multi.
On the FI-504 when I cycle through the displays I don’t see the Wind angle display?
Can anyone advise on what I need to tweak to get the Wind Angle display as mentioned in the manual?

Many thanks

Nick

Configuration info..
I have the following old school setup with a mixed NMEA 1803 and CAN bus configuration.
The FI-501 Wind and FI-504 Multi’s are shown as CAN bus devices, as are the RD-33, Log sensor and GPS. For info PG-500, AutoPilot, VHF and AIS have NMEA 1803 port connections. See device list on NN3D MFD12 below
As shown here.

You must be moving 3 knots or better for SOG (speed over Ground) to be considered valid. As long as you are moving that speed or better you should be able to also see TRUE wind speed and direction.
