RTX-345 & Aspen Avionics Integration

[Marauder]

Hi All,

In case you didn't catch this news. The RTX-345 will now talk with the Aspen products for traffic and weather. Looks like $795 unlocked code required (even for the MFD).

I recently had GTX 345 and FlightStream 510 installed. It would be great to get weather and traffic on my Aspen PFD/MFD. Here is the quote from my avionics shop:

The unlock card from Aspen is $795.00 each.  You would need one for both the PFD & MFD.  A couple of hours to update software and programming.  I could do this sometime in the Middle of January.

 

Pobably around $1800 total out the door. I'm glad Garmin and Aspen are working together but wish they would have made a cheaper path for this integration to happen.

I read that recently as well. My 201 goes in next month for its biennial IFR and I'm getting the unlock done at that time.

Do you have the Aspen 2000? I know the MFD is unlocked for most things (like my WX-500) but I suspect it isn't for the Garmin solution.

No I don't, just the 1000 but this has me thinking about adding the MFD.
