NXi Upgrade and fly.garmin.com?
We had the NXi upgrade done and was wondering if we have to do anything in fly.garmin.com for the new avionics? I tried to add in the new "device" but since our system ID didn't change it says it's already loaded up. I also couldn't delete the device without contacting Garmin which seems weird. Is it the same DB downloads and doesn't really matter?
Thanks!

Thank you, I reached out to Garmin Aviation Support, hopefully they can square it away. The databases did update fine except for Obstacle for some reason.

So is there a different way to do CMC downloads with the NXi upgrade? I've looked through every menu item and can't find it anywhere. I hope it's not something Prostar missed.

12-14-2021, 09:57 AM #7I think it's actually an additional file they have to upload during setup. I didn't get it either, then had it fixed. Then I installed the GWX75 radar, which required a reinstall of the system, and they forgot to add it again.
The worst part is that I am literally at KIWA right now and Embraer is evidently "too busy" to spend the 0.5 hours to load the missing software. They want me to come back in 2 weeks. -

12-22-2021, 08:03 AM #8What's the file that needs to be uploaded to fix the CMC issue? I have the same problem on the NXi on my P300. Embrear maintenance at FLL claims to have never heard of the problem and don't know how to fix it.

12-22-2021, 08:48 PM #11To get AUX - Maintenance Logs to show, the Service Center or Garmin dealer needs to follow the CMC configuration procedure listed in Garmin SB 1999 Rev B.
If they have any follow-up questions they can reach out to Rodrigo Soares ([email protected]), Garmin Field Service Engineer (OEM).
I goggled Garmin "SB 1999 Rev B" but the only match is... lol https://www.phenompilots.org/threads...-update-gotcha where Jared Gowlis explained the issue just over a year ago. -

04-29-2022, 02:49 PM #12Pratt & Whitney keeps sending me emails wanting me to upload CMC data. Since I switched to NXi, I'm not sure how to do that anymore. I tried to export it to SD card and it just sat there and did nothing. So I assume I'm doing something wrong.
Does anyone have a cheat sheet for pulling whatever files they need off of the NXi systems and uploading it to P&W? -

07-17-2022, 04:53 PM #13To convert a straight G1000 P100 to NXI, I understand that new displays are provided.
Anything else as far as hardware?
is it required to change the audio panel during conversion?
what exact benefits does the NXI provide? -

07-17-2022, 07:15 PM #14Two safety features:
- Visual approaches (Garmin computes a virtual 3 degree glide path to give you vertical guidance/situational awareness)
- Onboard Weather Radar displays on moving map or HSI. Legacy (pre TXi upgrade) systems only display the radar returns on a dedicated weather radar page without being able to overlay on anything.
Other features: higher resolution screens, faster bootup after initial aircraft powerup, faster scrolling/paging user experience.
(Username Protected) did this awesome overview video:
I think the two safety features are worth it alone. Better screens and faster system seem like 'nice to haves', it's not a big deal not to have them. The visual approach in particular, because one of the Phenom's biggest safety threats is coming in too high/fast - there have been several overruns. Ideally everyone is committing to the stabilized approach concepts and going around when necessary, but having the 3 degree advisory can help you verify a stable approach well before having the airport environment in sight, even in VFR conditions. But since you're flown an Eclipse, this likely isn't a new concept and as big a challenge for you, so if you don't spend a lot of time trying to navigate thunderstorms, the Legacy G1000 might be suitable for you. I operate in California where I am rarely using the weather radar, and most airports we go into have approaches with vertical guidance anyways, so I am making do with the legacy system for now. -

Thats a very concise video of the features that come with NXi. Thank you
you are probably right. It’s not essential but sure would be nice to have those conveniences.
Would I want them?….absolutely! But, you are right, don’t necessarily need those features.
all in due course! -

07-22-2022, 03:25 PM #20Hi (Username Protected),
What’s the new keypad for NXi? I did the NXi upgrade in my Phenom 100, but it still has the original keypad, I believe. Is that a Phenom 300 thing perhaps?
