I have that setup and I updated mine yesterday with no apparent issues. Plan to go out in the morning for a test flight.

That link is broken for me also. Google, "Garmin: G3X Software Update Collection" Should be the first result. |

Hooray!
Now I can see the best way to update my Dynon D100/120 based panel. This news is timely, as I was about to pull the trigger for a pair of Skyview HDX touch displays along with a corral full of remote accessory units. I?ve decided instead to go all-Garmin.
I?ve learned(from a Garmin tech rep who used to work for Dynon)that nearly all of the engine sensors feeding the D120 will work with the Garmin G3X EMS module, including all temp, pressure, and fuel flow sensors, and that the Dynon AOA pitot should work with the G3X adahrs.
My new shopping list will be one 10? G3X touch, two G5 touch, a GTN navigator, a garmin autopilot, a GTX345R transponder, and assorted add on items.
The G3X Touch has bluetooth, which will talk nice to ForeFlight Pro on my iPad, so no need to add pricey Garmin FlightStream so long as I?m willing to update the cards from my laptop PC.. The thought of having everything on my panel be DESIGNED to work together flawlessly, all using the same symbology and ergomonic strategy is just too hard to pass up, and the cost of this whole setup will be right in the same ballpark as trying to marry Dynon HDX, a Garmin GPS navigator, and Foreflight. Ongoing subscriptions for IFRwill actually end up costing less.
I cannot wait to get this project rolling!- Otis

No links are working to provide the new software
I don?t know why, but the original link does not work, the secod link provided only has the instructions, and the google search proposed also only has the instructions. Is it me? Thanks for all the hel, though!

I flew behind the new software for 3.5 hours today with no issues seen. Can't wait until the g3x software is out too take advantage of the new features.

Brian,
The only link I see for the GTN650 is a service bulletin, no software included.

Sam, thanks for the response. Glad to here it seemed to all be working properly on the ground. Did you run it through all phases of flight? Approaches, etc?
Jeff

Sorry I am traveling and only have my phone.
The link I posted should take you to this page where you should see the link I circled above.
Hope this helps! |
