FBCK Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 So I had my IFD540 updated to 10.20 this week and my first fight was today. I must be doing something wrong, I cant get the SVS tab at all and I still cant get FSR, I'm running the data base that came with the update, any ideas, I've never had FSR.

The update does not come with a database. Updating Nav, Charts, etc is separate from the 10.2 update. Go to the AUX button and then SYS and verify that it says 10.2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FBCK Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 The Nav data and obstacles reads Feb 2017 and yes I checked, up adapted to 10.20 in the setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LANCECASPER Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 SVS tab only shows up when you select MAP and you only get SVS when you have a good GPS signal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carusoam Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Double check what lance is saying... inside the hangar you might not be getting a decent GPS signal. Best regard, -a- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you get it figured out. I hope to do the 10.2 update this week Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FBCK Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 It turns out that even after 10.20 was installed in my unit, the WIFI, Bluetooth and SVS functions where not activated because they are add on services, paid extras. You can buy the unit without them, I had bought the whole meal deal and Avidyne is sending me the file to correct the situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing happened to mine when I did the 10.2 upgrade. Have you had a chance to update to the current nav data cycle to see what happens?

FBCK Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 No but I did install the patch today, took less than a minute and all the features call alive. I think you are going to have to do the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like whoever did the upgrade did not read and follow the instructions to the letter. It appears they did not input your tail number in the appropriate location before doing the update. From the 10.2 install manual: *Critical** Confirm the aircraft tail number has been properly set prior to performing this update. Failure to set this field may cause some options to become disabled following the update. Specifically ExoView aka SynVis, WIFI, Bluetooth and FLTA500. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution i found on google, put up by avidyne. Possibly sorted now as they were going to put out a bug fix. Not completely true. The IFD100 & IFD panel mount need to have the same version of charts. Every time you download the update for your panel mount go to the IFD100 app and update it with the Jepp login screen. Also, be sure to go to the settings on the IFD100 and select which panel mount you have. It will still work if the wrong one is selected but you will not have all the information (weather, traffic, fuel flow) on the app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to pin Joe Conte down and get him to admit they have shipped 10k units and he wouldn't confirm it. Which means they haven't. They would be boasting otherwise. 10k total combined 430/530 units...I know of a single shop owner ,who in 20 years thinks he and his father alone have done over a thousand...or 50 a year (many double installs)...Considering how many I have personally seen ,flown or owned ,I don't believe that 10,000 units worldwide for a minute!

xcrmckenna Posted June 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Pulled the trigger this morning to schedule my ADSB install. I'll be going with the AXP340 and the Skytrax100 and maybe a few other panel upgrades. I'm having Barry Foote do the install. I've been taking to him for the last month or so and anyone in the PNW that has used him say he is great. He will be coming to me so I save a lot right there. Chase at Avionics Source will be setting me up with all the avionics. I was originally planning to just install the Stratus ESGi for a quick and cheap upgrade. But the outlook for Avidyne, and their IFD100 app will make it worth it to me. "Hopefully"!!!!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, his quote was less than half of what Pacific Coast was in labor. And I save about $500 buying the avionics from Chase and not through PC.
