So, does anyone know if this is ready to go on Dynons side, or do I need to ask Dynon directly before buying one?

They announced it in April.

Bought it and the second comm radio for my RV-9A last month. Keep being told that other bug fixes are holding up next firmware release and that audio part is done. At Sun n Fun, Dynon said this season which was Spring. Just 2 more weeks so maybe by Oshkosh.r

I've also learned it's expected in the next couple weeks... Imagine that. But, the other thing I have learned sounds more concrete; it will be software version 17.6.0 for experimental.

Uggg, 2 more weeks huh. Guess I won’t be ripping up my audio panel at the last minute before leaving out for Oshkosh

On a positive note I already have the second Dynon transceiver mounted and a pigtail wire harness made and ready to go to comm head. Haven’t started on Pma 450 wire harness since I could use some official Dynon preferred wiring details.

Looks like it, but Dynon advised me they were assembling a "Dynon" version. Also AFS has this:

which states it's not for Dynon HDX. Perhaps it's because the harness is different? Perhaps it's because Dynon 17.6.0 isn't released yet?
Do we need the "Dynon" version or will any PMA450EX work?

Technically, AFS is Dynon. But yes, I'd want those questions answered before buying anything. You should ask them to Dynon.
