Sirius XM

[Cdupuis]

Hi, I’ve got a question on XM weather. We purchased the plane with a new G345R (adsb in/out). The Sirius isn’t active at this point. On the maps-weather data link page, it says “detecting activation”. Is there a way to remove this from the display? Did I interpret this correctly? Thanks, Charlie

Hi Charlie!

You can press the MENU button on the MFD and somewhere in the menu there is a way to select the weather source - either XM weather or ADS-B weather. If you choose ADS-B that should solve your problem. I believe this is 'sticky' across restarts of the G1000, so (hopefully) you should only need to do this one time.

Go to MFD map page and hit the Menu button in MFD. toggle the selection the FIS-B weather. That will change the source to the GTX345 weather. Shouldn’t see the Sirius pages again unless you toggle back if you ever activate Sirius weather.

Thanks for the replies. Sent to an avionics shop and evidently our G1000 is too old for displaying the weather via ADSB.

Charlie, what software version is your G1000 currently running? And do you have WAAS or not?
