Flight stream in the G1000

[Schllc]

Well, it is now done in the US as well. 
we got the flight stream working on my acclaim. 
Brian Kendrick has the only install in the US under his belt. 
I can’t wait to have this feature enabled in my g1000. It was the only thing I really missed from the NXI.

This is great news!

I think he meant "It"

So in theory, could one stream internet weather to the G1000 via the FlightStream?  Would it know any different from ADS-B?

Good question. 
with the 3.7 software you get xm and Adsb weather so that is not something I care about,  and wouldn’t know how to check it, since I already receive it, but I would imagine the flite stream could send whatever info it had to an phone or a tablet. 
edit

but I am pretty sure you need 3.7 to install this unit.

You definitely need 401.37 to install the Flightstream 210.

No.. the Connext protocol interface is configured only for the flight plans.    the .37 software will already accept the radar mosaic from either XM or ADSB-UAT  (the previous software had a bug with ADSB)

For the FS210 to stream the ADSB data you need to connect it to the 345R (or 88).   this also puts the bluetooth point in the cabin, removing the delivery from the rear access problems.

Congratuations!

Any additional tricks in addition to the combined findings about cabling & configuration in the G1000 and Garmin Flightstream in the Mooney thread ?

Awesome, how much did it end up costing you if you dont mind me asking ?

[Schllc]

Not sure yet, haven’t gotten the bill.

Ok, it was approximately 3k to supply and install the flight stream 210.  I had an available breaker that was used for a CD player, and I had the .37 software. I’m sure there will be some variances for each plane, but I double checked with Brian and that is a reasonable budget. 
The best 3k I have ever spent for an upgrade. This was the single best upgrade that was in the NXI. 
If you don’t fly ifr much, you won’t likely see the value in this upgrade, but where I live involves a minimum of four reroutes regardless of how I file, and atc never provides transitions for airways which makes entering them in the g1000 a challenge. 
with the flight stream all you have to do is type it your phone or tablet and send it to the gps. MUCH easier!

Dang for that price its super worth it. I am going to reach out to Brian and get some time on his schedule to get it installed in my plane.

Very cool. Would this Flightstream bluetooth interface work with FlyQ EFB or just Garmin Pilot and Foreflight?

Garmin Pilot, Foreflight, and FltPlan Go!  That’s it.

After owning two NXI equipped Mooney’s. I can tell you that this is the only feature I really missed. 
the keyboard is useless with the flight stream and an impediment in the cockpit. 
the only other items I enjoyed but don’t really miss is the visual approach which is easy to mimic with approach fixes and the identifier in the frequencies. 
there are many other differences but most of them are nuanced, and with the flight stream 210, I would be hard pressed to pay for an upgrade to the nxi. It would probably have to be imminent ending of support, which isn’t likely to occur in my flying days.

@Schllc I saw your airplane when I was there on Wednesday. Your interior looks great and will be awesome when it is finished. Hector at Aero Comfort did another outstanding job. It's going to look as good as any Ultra that left the factory!

Cant wait to get it to paint!  
I didn’t see the interior installed but I went and picked it up in San Antonio. 
I was very happy. 
can’t speak highly enough of hector. 
anyone who uses anyone else is doing a disservice to themselves…

ps it will be nicer than the ultra!!
