PlaneSync
Has anyone looked into adding PlaneSync to their G1000 NXi system? I wonder if this would work with a DA62. https://www.garmin.com/en-US/planesync/ On the compatibility page they mention: PlaneSync technology is compatible with select Garmin integrated flight decks.

Re: G1000 for Android
I just purchased this too. It’s the DA42NXi Garmin G1000 trainer.

It’s nice that they finally have a diamond twin with power setting like my 62.
