Avidyne IFD alert audio not working & seat foam cushions are ready for the upholsterer.

 I'm not getting alerts from the Avidyne IFD 540 and suspect the alert audio pins aren't connected to the audio panel's unswitched audio input #2.   My audio harness was built by ACS in order to get the warranty on the audio panel.  They did mis-pin one wire but is looking like they didn't pin the alert audio wires from the IFD to the audio panel.  We'll see.


I found this on line that I'll try.   If the audio is connected, I should hear chimes when I change volume.

If there's no chimes, the audio isn't connected.   Bleh.  That will probably take a good 1/2 day to remedy.

- Update....  The alert audio was not pinned from the IFD to the audio panel.  It's connected now and can be verified by adjusting the alert audio and hearing a chime sound.


I got all the seat cushion foam cut last night.   Forgot to take photos before putting it in the box, so will try to get some for the blog and post them.  -Update - a separate blog entry was started for upholstery.
