Has anyone else tried to load the Dynon software upgrades into their units? I found that mine wouldn't accept them, giving me an indication that this procedure is locked out through Dynon and to go to Van's Download page. There are no Dynon upgrades on the Van's site. I called Dynon and their tech guy said that this had to do with the ELSA cert and that Van's had to maintain these upgrades. He told me to contact Rian at Van's as he is the go to person for Dynon questions. I put a call in to him but haven't heard anything yet (he is at Sun & Fun).
Has anyone else had a non working pressure altitude input on their Garmin 327? I know the 327 is set up properly as I checked the set up called for in Garmin's installation instructions and this WAS set up properly by Van's or their supplier. I traced the wire from the D-180 to the 327 and I have continuity. The D180 Altitude Encoder Set Up menu is another thing blocked by Van's (because of ELSA, says Dynon tech) so I can't check the output at the D180 going to the xpdr. This is another question for Rian.
Do you other 4 or 5 people who bought the Dual Display know that there is a Dynon Service Bulletin for multiple D100 series EFISs plus AP74 DSAB? (that's us, if you have the autopilot also).
It pertains to a problem of the screen/s rebooting in flight and is supposed to be complied with before further flight (check Dynon's web site). There are two proposed fixes, the more simple one being to upgrade to software version 5.3 which is on Dynon's site but NOT Van's. This and the non working altitude out to my xpdr are what prompted this whole thing.
