I’ve spent about an hour on the website trying to figure this out but failed! I will put a Skyview with Dynon engine monitoring accessories in my RV8 when the time comes. I will also put a D-6 as a backup (D-10A if necessary).
My question is:
Can I routinely display the engine instruments on the D-6/D-10A during everyday use and call up the ADI only if needed? The size of the RV-8 panel and what I want to install is forcing me toward the 7” Skyview vs. the 10”. It would be nice to move engine functions full time over to the -6 or -10A.
Thank you

The Skyview cannot communicate at all with the Legendary D?? products.  There is no way to share Skyview engine data with a D10A or D6.

The D6 does not have any ability to share data with any device.  It is a stripped down version to keep the price low...

Bob,

I have quite a bit of equipment in my 8, including a 10" skyview, a D10A, a D6, an EMS D120, two radios, a GPSMap 396 and a GTX330 transponder. The fit is tight but it works.

I know you must be managing quite a bit of space on your panel, but it can be done. Can I be of help in trying to fit your equipment in there?
