I've got an AV30C which works great. I really like it, and it provides a backup airspeed and altitude indicator.

Luckily, this was an easy fix. You can see a slightly corroded pin in the picture. I’m fairly certain that’s the audio output one. I got it cleaned up a bit, and now I enjoy the sweet serenade of dings when things go wrong.

Thanks all!

Lol. Missing the acknowledge button would definitely be irritating

Thanks for the input! I might pop the glare shield off and look around in there to see if there's a loose wire. It's also really good to know about the volume adjustment! I'll have to play with it.

I've got a 2003 DA40 (pre-G1000), so it has the White Wire annunciator panel. When an annunciator goes off, like low oil pressure or low amps for instance, I'd really like an audible tone through my headset, but my annunciator gizmo seems to disagree with that sentiment. It will flash, but it doesn'...

Get a 2003 like mine! No G1000 to worry about, so you have total flexibility with avionics upgrades. The only issue is that the KAP-140 is the only available autopilot, and it's getting pretty old. Parts and expertise to fix it are more difficult to find.

I worked with Take Flight for mine as well. Ryan was great to work with and found all sorts of things that needed fixing. If I hadn’t done that, I would’ve been on the hook for a rather large maintenance bill.

Apologies for resurrecting an ancient thread, but if anyone has unneeded winter baffles, I’d love to buy them off you. Thanks!

Hey all, if any of you have an unneeded set of the 40’s winter baffles laying around, I’d love to buy them off you. Now that I’ve got my 40, it’s very difficult to keep the oil temp above 170 or so when it’s cold outside. I definitely need the oil cooler baffle, but I’d also like to have the cabin a...

Nick, I really appreciate it, but I've actually just closed on a 2003 DA40. I got a very good deal on it, and I can't wait to go pick it up!
