The fairly unanimous opinion is it's not recommended. Apparently the reception is poor, the update delay's are extensive, and the data is frequently inaccurate. I have personally spoken with Garmin's VP of marketing about this product and they are aware that it has problems and plan to obsolete it soon and release an XM satellite based product called the GDL-69. Nearly all of the owners over at CPA would recommend that you save your money for something better. The most reliable datalink with the best data seems to be the WSI right now. It displays on the MX-20 and a couple of other devices but not on the GNS-530/430.
