I've got a 660 with the GDL 39 3D power harness dock mount. I have been unable to receive attitude information via serial connection provided by the dock. However the ADSB information is passed perfectly. In order to see the attitude info on Syn Vis page, I must connect the 660 to GDL39 3D via Bluetooth, only then will the attitude info appear. Is this normal? Or am I missing a setting? The only inconvenience is that the GDL occupies the single Bluetooth connection that I would rather have available for the iPad.
Thanks,

Hello Matt,
You will want to
update to V2.60 whenever possible since it removes this limitation.
Some more good news with V2.60. This is the last software update most of us will ever do using the USB cable. After installing V2.60, subsequent software updates will be delivered over WiFi from FlyGarmin automatically.
Each time your aera 660 powers up with a WiFi connection, it will quickly check with FlyGarmin to see if there is new software available for the aera 660. If so, it will ask you if you want to update now, or wait until later.
Another nice new feature is TargetTrend traffic information on the Map and Charts pages just like previously provided only on the Traffic page.
Thanks,
Steve
