Good Afternoon,
It has often been requested that we make software updates available for owners and operators of Experimental aircraft who have our transponders installed in their aircraft. We are happy to announce we have made a GTX 35R/GTX 45R/GTX 3X5 Series transponder software update tool available for download for experimental aircraft owners and operators.
These software updates have always been available for free, but required a trip to a Garmin Authorized Dealer to perform, which was often associated with a labor charge for performing the update. The release of this tool will allow owners of these transponders to update their system software without requiring a visit to your local Garmin dealer.
This link contains a folder which includes everything that is required for the update. A detailed users guide is included in the folder which will explain how to perform the update. We recommend opening the users guide first and reviewing it closely before attempting an update. Here is an overview of the files contained in the folder:
Please contact us at [email protected] if you have any questions getting the tool up and running.
Thanks,
Justin
