FAQ (EFIS UPGRADE 2008) Why? New technology! New computer, faster, smaller, less power, more capability, better audio fidelity, digital autopilot, more data! What motherboard? EPIA VIA M II (Mini-ITX form) Does that thing have enough power to do all the tricks needed? Yes! 1 GHz processor easily drives the map, and a DVD simultaneously, in fact he processor runs at 35% using this load. XM Weather? How much $$ YES! Using the WX Worx Dual ensemble receiver. This receiver detects both weather and music. The music is outputted by the receiver at the its audio output connector. The music is controlled by the Anywhere XP WX moving map software. The used need to have two subscriptions, one for weather such as the Aviator Lite ($39.95.month) and then the audio subscription which is an additional $7/month. How did you do audio? This is a bit complex because the new system generates five types of audio signals:
1. Comm radio
Comm radio signals are sent to
the intercom in a traditional fashion.
Using this technique, all
distracting aural alerts can be muted by selecting the intercom mode switch
to ISO (isolate). then only the passenger has to listen to them!
It drives the passenger
repeater screen so they can watch the movie and map too.
