 |
|
I have installed a GDL-69A Satellite Weather/XM Radio unit in my aircraft and I have the Garmin 530/430 setup.
The current software of the 530/430 does not allow for the display of XM Radio information on the units’ screens. There is no way to know what channel you’re on or any of the other information XM usually sends out over the signal such as song name etc. Apparently, this issue will be addressed in Garmin’s long delayed WAAS Upgrade where the units have to be factory upgraded.
My local avionics tech who helped me with the install says the GDL unit requires discreet switch “toggles” to switch channels, so we put a rocker switch in the panel and for each click up or down, the channel goes up or down. My first question is, is there a ROTARY switch that can accomplish this discreet single point signal? If I am being unclear please let me know as I am not sure of the precise terminology.
My second question is, has anyone figured out a way to use a commercial Roadie or other XM Radio display unit as a display for their GDL installation? I would love to be able to use the Roadie channel knob and be able to view channel info on a display.
Thanks in advance.

Couple of things...
Where did you get the information that the 430/530 will eventually control GDL-69A XM Radio?
And whatever might happen in the future, wouldn't the simplest short-term solution be to simply tie the XM Roadie into your audio panel?

Garmin gave me that information.
That might be the best, simplest solution, and I am considering it. However, before I went through that, I thought I would ask the forum to see if anyone had any ideas.
Thanks.
