The AD claimed only 800 units total were affected. Of course the AD also claimed the cheapest way of compliance was to just disconnect the navworx box.

Thanks, I was told just a few days ago they had not issued the AD yet, guess I ought to look for myself next time.

I will be awaiting the announcement on the EXP fix. If the answer is an approved piggyback receiver than my two questions would be:
1. Will the 1090 in receiver internal hardware finally get the promised software to make it functional? 2. As per BM at the time of install I have a non WAAS Garmin antenna mounted and feeding my EXP. Will I also have to pay for a WAAS antenna upgrade which would add another 300 or so dollars?

1) I still think it will happen "finally" someday. I just don't know when that day will come. I don't think they're taking that on under the current initiative, so I continue to look forward to it in a future software (but before 2020). 2) The certified system works with the Garmin non-WAAS antenna, so I don't see why this new version would differ in that respect. NavWorx always considered their ability to use that old antenna as a point of pride and marketing advantage. David |

Gps
The $299.00 was for an additional "Faa approved" gps.
To make the system"2020" compatible. That in combination of a software update. I would hope that would be the only Additional hardware cost for the EXP. I seriously doubt there whould be additional costs for an antenna. |
Is Navworx still alive?
The AD has been a reality for over a month and still Navworx refers to it on their opening page of their website as the "proposed" AD. Back in the spring my Navworx's wi-fi went out. I called Scott Edwards about it and sent it to him. It came back promptly with no documents or comments--just the unit in a box. But at least it works again. I am curious to know if any Navworx victim has done the hardware mod that the AD calls for, or the software change. I would like to do the software mod which ostensibly will keep the unit legally ops until 1/1/2020 but I have no idea how to do that and Navworx isn't providing that information. As to the hardware mod, I think I'll hold off until I'm more sure that I won't be throwing good money after bad. I need to hear how others with this problem are handing it.
