Default Tuning NAV radio thru G3X touch

I am curious if/how I can tune my NAV radio thru the G3X. Currently I have a G3X and 650 and I am receiving VOR/ILS information just fine but I do not have the NAV interface, like the COM1, on my G3X to change frequencies.
Looking under the setup, I have COM1 and COM2 but the NAV1 Radio is grayed out.

I am currently running 8.4 on G3X.

Any help would be appreciate it.

Hello Mehrdad,

You can tune the NAV frequency on your GTN 650 from the NRST and Airport Frequency pages on your GDU by selecting a frequency there.

As mentioned in this posting, the new NAV radio tuning support provided in G3X Touch V8.40 is currently only available for the SL 30 VHF/COM radio, but as soon as new software is available for the GTN 650/750 and GNC 255, those will also be supported.



Thanks,
Steve

Thank you Steve, I was convinced that I was missing a config in my setup.

I should have searched this forum sooner! I was having trouble getting my G3X to control my GTN650 nav radio. Everything else is working and that was the last thing. I debugged all of the wires, all of the software configurations, and after reading this I feel so much better!
