Locked Settings on Dynon

[DonFromTX]

A discussion has come up about the Dynon (Skyview or D180) that Van's sells as part of their Avionics kits.  It is my understanding that you lock certain settings for Vans as part of the sale for their ELSA program
I am building EAB, which happens to entail using a different engine and other parts, and the locked Skyview will pose some insurmountable hurdles for me the way I understand it.  Will you unlock the Skyview I received from them so I can use it for other than Vans intended use? Exactly what ARE the settings you lock for this customer?

Vans actually holds the keys here. They configure the D180 and D100 settings files that we then install when we manufacture units. As such, we don't actually have a complete list of which exact settings are restricted, and which aren't, on hand. So you'll have to ask them for a complete inventory of "what is locked". The other side of the lock is that basically all of the settings, like EMS sensor types, red lines, and IAS V-speeds, are pre-configured to go out of the box.

All of the above currently applies to D100/D180 units only. SkyView doesn't currently have a system that supports settings restrictions, but this may not always be the case.

Under no circumstance are we able to "unlock" a unit. That ability belongs solely to Vans, per mutual agreement between Dynon and Vans.

Thanks, that was very helpful information. Since I am waiting for the Skyview, apparently I will have no problems tailoring it to my installation needa.
