It doesn't ever have to be "disconnected," just make sure that anything it is connected TO is turned off.

If you don;t have a GPS or SL30, then there should not be anything connected to this pin, so there is nothing to disconnect.

Ok I am geting ready to wire. I have a FlightDek 180 with 496 and SL-30. If I read this correctly I do not need a switch or db-9 that needs to be disconnected to do updates or downloads as long as the SL-30 and 496 are turned off for these operations. Please correct me if I am mistaken.
Thanks

Dynon suggests you disconnect anything hooked to this wire when you do updates. Having two devices on this is not a great solution.
Some people have done what has been mentioned, which is to just turn off the 496 or SL-30, and it seems to work and doesn't seem to hurt anything, but it is not our recommended method, given that we do not know how the other devices work internally.
