Doug, you need to make sure the "Out" from our GPS device matches the "In" on the AV30. I had an issue on mine trying to get the AV30 recognize data from Garmin 660 until I matched up the serial data format on the Garmin with that same that was available on the AV30. I believe it was NMEA out for me that worked.... not sure I'm not close to my hangar. But be sure they match. The installation is only 1 wire so that should be easy to troubleshoot.

Default Av-30 Install Configuration Access

How are you all getting into the Install Configuration? Just received 2 AV-30s to replace vacuum AI and DG/system. Quick reference card shows menu button has 3 options, 1) Edit Fields 2) Setup 3) Install. Both of mine only provide the first two options edit fiellds, setup. No install. I'm not seeing a lot instruction on the setup. Maybe I'm missing something?
Thanks
P

Turn the unit off, push and hold the knob as you turn it back on and you’ll get the third menu. Also, get a hold of Trevor and have him email a rewritten operating manual.

Thanks

I just got mine yesterday and am planning to put it in today but for some reason the Stein D-Sub extraction tool won?t extract any of the pre installed terminals from the serial connector. Has anyone else had this issue or more importantly found a solution? That tool has worked for everything else it has touched so something must be different.

Thx!!

I had the same problem, but finally got it. Keep trying, it will work. The pins that are pre installed are like a crimp terminal if you will. Kinda Like the bendix king ones from a few yrs back. You have to get the tool past that and it will unlock it. You?ll see what I mean when you get one out. If I go to the hangar today I?ll take a picture for ya.
