Instead of making an adapter, I ordered "Skyview ADS-B 472 Bracket", p/n: F-00045C. Cost: $5.00

Updated SV-ADSB-472 and SV 15.3.3
I have flown a few test flights with Dynon's updated SV-ADSB-472 and SV 15.3.3, which should be out on Dynon's website soon.
From all indications, they have done an excellent job in solving the past issues, including the "no ADSB" message issue.
The updated SV-ADSB-472 is identical in size / shape as the original.
A user note - with SV 15.3.3, once you update the SV itself, you have go into the SV menu to the "ADSB status" menu and make an update to the ADSB-472 firmware, similar to how the transponder firmware gets updated. This is a new process, which I am sure Dynon will add to their user guides.
Special thanks should be extended to David DeLong at Dynon and their team for working this issue to resolution.

I have the 470. Will it need to be updated as well via the same procedure?

The update does not apply to the ADSB 470. It did not suffer from the issues the 478 had.

I Like it!!
I've been flying the new/improved Dynon Transponder this week and I REALLY like it. It displays MUCH more traffic such that I can see the various airport traffic patterns in the Atlanta Class B airspace. This AM I was seeing 14-20 targets at various times.
Really great performance in my opinion.

Issue updating firmware
"A user note - with SV 15.3.3, once you update the SV itself, you have go into the SV menu to the "ADSB status" menu and make an update to the ADSB-472 firmware, similar to how the transponder firmware gets updated."
I had one of the early 472s and when I attempted this firmware update I got an error message and ended up on a screen asking if I wanted to force the update or exit. It was business hours and I wasn't sure what to do so I called Dynon tech support. He hadn't seen this before and had me exit and reboot my system. Afterwards, my ads-b could no longer be found even though the serial port showed a 472 was present. I had to return my 472 to Dynon and they promptly sent me a replacement which appears to work well. If you get to this screen I suggest you try to force the firmware update since the 'exit and reboot' killed my unit.

So ... how long did you wait to get it? New or upgrade? Just trying to get a feel for how much longer before I see movement on my -470 to -472 upgrade request. Knew it would be awhile as the delays continued, but we're months and months past any original projections. THANKS

Exactly!
My question exactly - the original question I asked...
Dynon has stepped in a couple times during the meandering discussion, but never answered the question of WHEN.
Its coming up on a year and still no indication of WHEN the new units will become available.
So, I guess, since my current unit is working fine (I wish I could program the sucker to "ignore" my own aircraft as traffic) I will forget about replacing it with the upgrade and continue flying until this one dies.
Okay, I'm out off my soapbox - NEXT!

They have been shipping for weeks now. I believe the newest version of the software for the Skyview has a firmware update for the ADSB-472 unit, but I?m not sure what units it applies to.

I received my production version to replace the beta unit this past week. It just depends on where you name falls on the replacement list. I don?t know how many units are each production run.
