The gen 4 units are updated through a USB stick. The flash card was used on older units. You can also use FTP to update.
The programming/technology/formatting to get Jep data into them is available it is just a matter of BMA letting it go to new ownership.

The pinout for the Pod is on page 22 of the downloadable Pod manual. Only one wire goes to the EFIS; on my G4 it goes to pin 9 of the 26 pin HD connector but it may be different on whichever version you have. There should be a connector diagram in your EFIS installation manual.

Looks like the possibility of database updates for BMA equipment is close. I suspect this is for G4 units only.

The website is paid up ,I believe, for the next year or so. There is just nobody minding the store.
One individual is working with Greg to take over distribution of databases.
It will be ,as always, a matter of cash flow and at the moment the question is, will there be enough subscribers to fund the project?

That 'For Sale' notice has been there quite awhile now, nothing new or sudden. I get the impression Greg is exploring options to keep BMA alive, Anyway, as mentioned above, someone is at least attempting to pick up the database support and has mentioned that they might be interested in going further depending on how things go.

That could have an easy solution.
Make the database available for other EFIS systems and GPS navigators. That way you instantly expand the membership - most likely many times over.
It would not be the first "garage operation" to suddenly become viable...

Just to resurrect this thread from the dead, I have an almost-new G-4 EFIS in the 80% size which has come out of my RV-8. It would be a great, cheap, VFR setup. It's for sale for those so-inclined to keep on keeping on with BMA.
Right now, my target market is for those planning to buy a Dynon EFIS so they can use it for the rebate. But if anyone wants it for the unit, (I'll also throw in the engine monitor and probes if you're going to put it in an airplane) it's yours for a grand.
