Tony,
As I recall there is a set up option to control the dimmer between the dash control and the Skyview panel , worth confirming you are on the right one?
Happy THanksgiving to all
Ben,
I found that the SkyView does not switch control of screen brightness to the Van's dimmer knob when you change the SV setting to "EXTERNAL". I am pretty sure that function will only work if you have a Dynon dimmer control knob installed. It is a Dynon optional part for $45. The Van's dimmer pot controls the intensity of the switch LED's, the AP disconnect LED, and the cockpit light on the roll bar. The switch LED's come on when a switch is activated. The cockpit light and the AP disconnect LED illuminate when the NAV lights are on.
don't forget to carbon fiber wrap your dash...
Thanks Brent.
My Bro Bogey thinks there is something wrong with me...
Tony, your wire bundle/tunnel look amazingly tidy. Textbook. Thought I did a decent job, but mine looks like a mess beside yours. Well done...as usual.
Your pictures are worth putting into the Van's installation instructions.
I agree it is the cleanest install I have seen. Looks very nice! The only thing I could suggest is the use of the non-beveled nippy cutters to get a clean edge on the cable ties cutoff....and that comes from an IA friend who hates those sharp edges on the cut off ends of the cable ties.

Great suggestion - thanks for the tip, cactuspilot. Those sharp edges are killers. I'm going to get one of those nippers or grind down a hardware store side cutter.
When Tony offered his Dynon D-100 Dual Display Kit for sale back in October I jumped on it. I just finished the install and set up the screen rotations per my liking. Very clean installation. So I?m running two Dynon EFIS/EMS, Garmin 296, and a mini iPad with ForeFlight.
Doesn?t get any better than this. Thanks Tony?

Jim...how/what are you using for your tablet hanger...and how mounted?
You buy one of these? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Slim-PU-Lea...hash=item4d28ad9425:m:maCA5-7cix2q4nEIBOgG_xg and strip the plastic holder out. Then bend 0.062 aluminum at a 45 degree angle. The plastic holder is held to the aluminum with double-sided foam tape. Then the whole assembly is held to the bottom of the instrument bay with three strips of self-adhesive Velcro. Works great and can be easily removed. The iPad covers up three switches that are not used on my 12 ? Nav Lights, Landing Light, and AP. I have all three switches marked INOP. Three rubber bumper thingies keep the holder from vibrating against the instrument panel.
