Has anyone added on the $950 Optional Skyview Autopilot Knob Module? Is it worth it? do you need to operate in Expert Mode?
I have a 496 center panel and only a map box in the right panel. To avoid redoing the center panel and losing the 496, How about putting the knob and ap modules stacked tall wise on top of each other between the map box and left edge of the right panel?
I have a skyview in the left panel and am interested in the auto trim that comes with the modules. Is there much rewiring when installing both modules?
I have the conversion harness. It was pretty straightforward.The SV Autopilot harness is replaced when you install the Knobs Kit. The new harness comes in the kit. However, I don't think it is long enough to reach the right panel where you want to install the modules. You could extend it assuming you are handy with wiring. If your plane has the conversion harnesses, that complicates it I think. The modules are not supposed to be compatible with the D-180/SV conversion harnesses but there are a few that have put them in successfully.
