Thanks for the reply. It sounds like it’ll be easier to let Skyview do its own dimming and I’ll control everything else (Garmin) with the MaxDim. I’m ok with that!

Auto or Panel mount? I’ve already got a MaxDim dimmer that will control my audio panel, radio and GPS. It wouldn’t be too hard to add the HDX screen to it…. just not sure if I should. Pros/cons of each? Thanks!

For your consideration, there is a policy statement that allows for the permanent installation of PED (portable electronic device) mounting hardware in certificated aircraft as a minor alteration requiring only a logbook entry. PS-ACE-23-01; Installation of Mounting Devices and Wiring...

This whole thread is super helpful as I‘m designing my own HDX installation… I see a 5A breaker for “USB” and a 15A for “AUX POWER.” I’m assuming the 15A is for charging ports, but what is the USB breaker powering?

One the mounting tray, I see the EMS, ADAHRS, ARINC modules stacked. On the left I’m assuming the ADSB IN module? Great idea with a network hub on the side of the radio tray. What’s the connector in front of of it (pic 3)? I can’t quite make out the brand of the avionics mounting rails…...

Thanks for posting, Bryant. I'm in the planning stages of my HDX install for my 182 and love seeing how others are getting it done. Keep the updates coming!!

I’m not sure what’s available on the Skyview side, but the G5 Installation Manual I have says RS-232 inputs on the G5 should be set to MapMX (WAAS Units) or AVIATION (Non WAAS Units).

I am in the planning stages for an HDX system in my Cessna 182 and having an iPad training app would go a long way in answering a ton of questions. I’ve downloded and used some of the GPS navigator apps (Garmin GTN, GPS/GNC/GTX, Avidyne IFD) and it has really helped me decide which I want to...

Today I went to a local avionics shop and played with their HDX demo unit and came away with a couple questions. 1. Is there a way to have the split screen on startup display the Engine page? I’d like to have a big round Oil Pressure dial to see on startup, then once verified, switch to Map...

Is there room in the radio stack for the COM panel, knob panel and AP panel side-by-side?

Excellent!! I like your magnetometer mount. I was thinking about it being in the wing tip, but was concerned about it being so close to my wingtip lights. Yours is a great solution! Thank you for taking the time to answer all my questions! Super helpful!

Hello all, I am in the planning stages of installing a Skyview HDX system in my 182L (as well as a total rewire). I’m an A&P and will be working with an IA who has installed several HDX systems. He’s a busy guy, so I thought I would ask all my dumb questions here! I would like to be well...
