Reasonable upgrade path to WAAS for early G1000
Nose Wheel

Ask Garmin to install that for free based upon warranty since BT does not work. That is what my shop was going to do had the swap not worked.

Check out Garmin's latest 2000 dollar out solution.

Yes - I had that very issue with my 04 DA40. Have Garmin send your shop a replacement unit. That seems to have fixed my issue and others as well.

Cheers.

Currently I still believe you need the 345R with built in WAAS - even if you have WAAS G1000. I have a non WAAS G1000 and had 345R installed.

Condolences to Eduardo - you pay for the insurance - so use it !!!!!

I used the cobham for mine. What you have to be careful about is adding another antenna in a new location requires engineering drawings from Diamond at our cost. One problem (of very few IMHO) with composite craft is that you cannot just drill anywhere you want. Not sure if you can change one of the...

I continue to go round and round with Diamond on this. I do feel that this of us that bought into the first G1000 aircraft were not trea...

With my not having the TAS 600 and being stuck with TIS-A I can tell you I really love having all the traffic on my MFD/PFD now. Really is much better safety - from what I had. 978 is cheaper but no integrated solutions. And hits market value for any international sales or flying.
