This OAT probe interface is FAA-PMA approved and can be added to the CAN bus for an existing single or dual G5 installation and enable the display of Outside Air Temperature (OAT), True Airspeed (TAS), and Winds Aloft. The GAD 13 interface is available as a bare unit for usage with a 3rd party OAT probe, or as a complete kit including a GTP 59 RTD precision OAT probe and connector kit.
Installing now but please be aware IT COMES WITH THE CONNECTOR KIT if you get the full kit. I thought, like most Garmin Experimental products where they try and extract as much flesh as they can from you and give you NOTHING as standard I would need the kit. Well there goes my $40 to Garmin. Credit to Aircraft Spruce, it says it comes with connections but it isnt totally clear. Just dont want to give Garmin any more of my (or someone elses) money. They already have too much!

Had a glitch having the item released from Calif for shipping. Problem started in Peachtree City store not notifying that the item needed to be shipped.

At first, I was going to pass on the temp probe and interface option. Who cares about OAT anyway? Im a VFR pilot. Well, now Im starting to work on my IFR. And while its helpful to know if Im in danger of picking up ice, the real benefit is you unlock TAS and X-Wind information on the G5 and that alone is worth the extra 1/2 AMU for this option.

Save some money. The GAD-13 will work with the Davtron probe. You donâ??t need the Garmin OAT probe.

This thing does zactly what they said it would. Git you one, youll be happy ! Better un ice cold beer on a hot afternoon.
Ответ:The GAD13 comes as the unit only. The GAD 13 / GTP 59 comes as a complete kit with the OAT probe and connector kit. You will need the complete kit. The OAT probe can be added to the CAN bus for the dual G5s.
Ответ:No, The G5 will only display Density Altitude with the GAD 13 on the experimental version. The GAD 13 provides OAT and True Airspeed for certified aircraft.
Ответ:This OAT probe interface is FAA-PMA approved and can be added to the CAN bus for an existing single or dual G5 installation and enable the display of Outside Air Temperature (OAT), True Airspeed (TAS), and Winds Aloft.
Ответ:The connector kit has the backshell hardware, the D-sub connector and the pins. The GAD13 activates those functions once connected and configured.
