Just a heads-up before you cut your panel!
The actual dimensions of the Dynon Intercom that I received were different than listed on the Dynon support documents and the actual template that came with the unit.

I had already cut the big hole for the Skyview and the weird hole for the Com, so this one should be easy, right?
The template shows the intercom needing a 3.36"x1.24" hole in the panel for installation, so I measured twice and cut the panel accordingly (without triple checking the actual dimensions of the unit, of course...)
Unfortunately for me, the unit delivered to me was only 3"x1" :
After a couple hours of swearing and brainstorming, I made a fix with a spacer and backing plate for the nut plates, it all came out looking fine after all.
I did contact Dynon, apparently I am the only person to have received a 3"x1" intercom![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Not bashing Dynon, everything else has gone together great- it just seems strange that I would be the first person to notice this.
