Dynon's adapter is WiFi not Bluetooth, so there is no interference there. We had to use WiFi since Apple doesn't allow Bluetooth connections for data to devices that they don't bless (and you pay for that blessing).
Joe,
Looks like a cool project. Let us know if we can do anything reasonable to make your job easier.
Don't forget, you can put two 10" SkyViews in a RV-8:

Not strictly true.. Bluetooth 4.0 AKA Bluetooth LE (low energy) is an open interface, built into all iThings for the last few years. I was using a Bluefruit LE Micro from Adafruit to build a seral port extender for Skyview. Unfortunately it is no longer available and mine died, so the project has been set back. Adafruit sells other gizmos that work, plus some free Apple Apps with source code for both ends.
This makes it quite easy to grab serial information, transmit it to an iPad or iPhone and make it into an auxiliary display.
Unfortunately, my time has been been drained advising/investing in a couple of aerospace start-up companies that will have a better ROI, so I hope someone else with more time can pick this up! Hopefully Joe will have some ideas.
Cheers.
