GARMIN GAD 13 CONNECTOR KIT
I installed this with the Dayton temp probe in my RV6 that was equipped with dual G5s and the Garmin magnetometer and well worth the effort. Having instantaneous wind data alone is worth the investment. Density altitude is a added bonus!
This thing does zactly what they said it would. Git you one, youll be happy ! Better un ice cold beer on a hot afternoon.
Fairly easy to install unit and probe Once installed and configured Worked like a charm Well worth the money for the extra info now displayed on the two (2) G-5 units Highly recommend
Save some money. The GAD-13 will work with the Davtron probe. You don’t need the Garmin OAT probe.
At first, I was going to pass on the temp probe and interface option. Who cares about OAT anyway? Im a VFR pilot. Well, now Im starting to work on my IFR. And while its helpful to know if Im in danger of picking up ice, the real benefit is you unlock TAS and X-Wind information on the G5 and that alone is worth the extra 1/2 AMU for this option.
Great product
Had a glitch having the item released from Calif for shipping. Problem started in Peachtree City store not notifying that the item needed to be shipped.
Installing now but please be aware IT COMES WITH THE CONNECTOR KIT if you get the full kit. I thought, like most Garmin Experimental products where they try and extract as much flesh as they can from you and give you NOTHING as standard I would need the kit. Well there goes my $40 to Garmin. Credit to Aircraft Spruce, it says it comes with connections but it isnt totally clear. Just dont want to give Garmin any more of my (or someone elses) money. They already have too much!
