Cessna R/TR 182 Pilots and Owners

Our G5's have shown HW/XW since 2021 installation. Logs indicate our G5 software was updated 7/11/2024 to version 8.26 IAW SB 23047A

Advised Garmin shop about your version 8 and waiting for their reply. Late Friday PM here so not expecting a reply til next week.

Shop is asking is there a magnetometer, GMU, a GAD13 and OAT probe? Also needs a GPS connection to the G5 to receive wind direction info.

Saw this airplane and met Jason at OSH 2024 and it’s a well cared for, regularly flown excellent example of the type. Worth checking out for sure. Would be ideal to keep it in the type club.
