Do as Jetguy suggests. My upgrade working fine. One other suggestion. Have battery charger on aircraft battery, and have the laptop plugged in. Dire consequences could be the result of losing power in the middle of the operation.

Upgrade 5.5.0 works well
Did mine in Oct and have had no problems since. NAV function now works as it should without dropping out. The altitude hold is more accurate. The overall autopilot operation seems smoother than before the upgrade.
As stated in several posts, preparation by taking pictures of all of the screen setting will be a big help. Also, a review of this thread.
Dynon provides excellent support if needed. And if you ever have to call them with a question or problem they will want you to install the latest software. So, I would certainly go for the update.

More Woes
Started to update my 180. First thing I noticed was that when I went to the setup menu there was blanks in the spots where I should have seen UNITS AND CLTTR. I called Dynon support and they said it was Van's lock outs. Well I went ahead with the upgrade to 5.5 and I still don't have these menu items and of course I cannot finish the upgrade.
P.S. I had no issues with the unit before the upgrade.
Is there some way to get these item back up?

I just walked in from performing my upgrade. Did you get your upgrade from the Dynon site or from Van's? After learning the hard way, as usual, I found that the data has to come from Van's to deal with the locked settings. The servo's and the AP74 will accept the data from the Dynon site.

Dave,
I downloaded the 5.5 files both from Dynon and Vans.
Do you have any blank menu items?

Did you download and use the most recent locked settings file?

That thought did cross my mind. Just to be sure I will try and reload 5.5.
Hope that is not a problem. Guess I should check with Dynon before I try.
I will dump all the old files as well so that won't be an issue.
One question--is there more than one lock file that is down loaded?

If you did a backup when you started you should be able to restore the old software. If not, you may be screwed (technical term I learned from IT guys).

Yes, in the setup menu I am missing the IASCLR. I also had to re-calibrate my fuel tank. This time the fuel gauge reads 15 gallons. Just wondering if some others read 15 gallons when full. It seems I have heard of this.
