XM weather on ipad with GTX345

[milotron]

Hey,

 

I recently had a GTX345 installed for ADSB and bluetooth traffic out. I am in Canada so there is no ADSB weather.

I would like to get XM weather added, but don't want loose the traffic in as well. I don't believe that an ipad will take input from two bluetooth sources at once, but can't find confirmation on this.

It looks like the only option I have is get a GDL52 with ADSB and XM and not use the bluetooth traffic from the GTX. I also have a GNS430W and would like to get the XM weather on it as well, due to ADSB not being available.

What is the best option here? Will a flightstream 210 consolidate all of these signals? Any better solutions?

The GTX345 is not part of any XM solution. You’re looking at a XM receiver connected to your GPS with a FS to provide the connectivity - for an installed solution. The FS will pass the traffic and ADD-B and then you can toggle between Wx sources on your iPad.
But there is no problem with your iPad connected to 2 Bluetooth devices. I do this normally. I connect to my FS510 and my GTX345 for backup ADHRS in case I was to loose the G500.

1) Somebody was selling an XM weather receiver around here recently...

2) IPads continue to evolve in the area of number of inputs allowed... both blue tooth and WiFi...
