Power and ground are fine, The GPS 175 unit continues to function normally, and the Power and ground wires for the ARINC-429 are on two of the DB-9 pins.
RV8JD,
In all the failures I experienced, the GPS175 continues to operate normally.. As far as Ican tell, it is unaffected by the failure of the ARINC-429 to communicate with the Skyview over the network. So I don't think the issue is related to the connection to the GPS antenna.
But...
I have been trying to diagnose and fix this for two months now. Any information or suggestions would be appreciated.
I have a Garmin GPS175, hooked up to my Skyview HDX using the ARINC-429. Initially, it worked fine, and I had no issues.
Then, it suddenly started acting up...
Could the issues I was having as described two years ago in the referencede thread
(https://forum.flydynon.com/threads/sv-ap-panel-mount-install.14614/ )
be caused by the problem described in the recently released service bulletin:
104808-000 Early SV-AP-PANEL Failure, Rev A ??
My AP_PANEL...
What I was wondering is if they've removed (or re-purposed) the pins on the DB-,37 connector on the back of the HDX that were used to connect that USB cable. Or just removed the cable from the harness and left those pins bare...
Looking at the latest Skyview Install manual, (Rev AM), the wiring...
Ahhh, thanks for that! I did not know that the USB port on the D37 harness was no longer there. Thats a change from four years ago. Is this change only on the harness, or have the pinouts for the USB port also been removed from the D37 port on the back of the HDX??
There are three equivilent USB ports on the HDX. One that is attached to the D37 Harness, and two others that are just just mounted in back of the HDX panel. You can attach an extension cord to any of the three.

I got a reply from a tech at Trig in Scotland...
Hi Charles,
The TX56 is fully compatible other than the volume control.
The software update will help with the following:
Improved interoperability with Dynon Skyview and Skyview HDX systems when using SL30 protocol. The HSI course is...
Does this unit use the SL30 protocol, Can it interface with the Skyview HDX using the SL30 protocol or the ARINC-429 ?,
i.e. without a dedicated CDI?
The installation manual includes this paragraph:
5.6.11 RS232 Input/Output The RS232 input allows certain third-party multi-function displays...
Thanks for including (explaining), what the difference is between the two kits. That makes sense.
Am I correct that this FI system injects the fuel into a common intake manifold, and not into each cylinder independently ?
And yes, considering what I'm going to be spending on the complete Skyview...
I have just purchased an new aircraft with a Lycoming O-360-A1A. I want to install a complete Skyview HDX with the EMS-220 Engine Monitoring System, (EMS), but the installation kts and wiring harnesses for this come in different variants depending on engine and type of carburation/fuel...
Please shoot me a private message at cbretana@areteind.com. I am interested in any of the Dynon components you might take out of your bonanza, including HDX, EMS, Autopilot servos, Com/ICS, transponder, ADS-B in/out, etc.
.. The fact that you mention that "... the two wires ...", makes me suspect that this may be wired incorrectly. I mad ethe same mistake when I installed my own dimmer rheostat. It needs to have three wires attached to it. I f you only have two wires, one from a 12 volt power source and the other...
I will check that. I confess that I did not put in a complete flight plan with 2 waypoints, I just entered a Direct To a destination airport, and activated it. It did show in the flight plan menu on the HDX scren, (as a separate tab labeled GPS 175 ). I will check again, and get a screen shot.
Tried this again yesterday. Entered a simple flight plan on GPS 175, Then went to flight plan menu. The flight plan was shown there, and I could select it, but there was no navigate option on soft keys.
Golly, Rhino, you're right. I should've thought of that!
Thanks!
On the other hand, here's a short multiple choice quiz:
