Before installation
Frequently asked questions and stumbling blocks
What is the purpose of the mounting tray on the TY96/TY97?
The SD-Link TY96/97 is screwed onto the radio's mounting tray ("screw-and-play"). The tray is part of the standard TY96/TY97 installation – the adapter requires it.
TY91/TY92, on the other hand, are connected to the TC90 control unit; the tray plays no role there.
In which languages are the instructions for the SD link on the TRIG TY91/TY92 and TY96/TY97 available?
The installation instructions are available in 14 languages. If a language is missing for a particular navigation app, we link to the English version. A printed quick start guide is included with every shipment.
Does this instruction manual also apply to older adapters?
Yes. The current instructions (version 2.0) describe all adapters of this series that have been shipped. Older links to previous versions automatically redirect to the current instructions.
Which apps are the adapters compatible with?
The SD-Link adapters for this device have been tested and are compatible with the following navigation apps:
- SkyDemon
- Sky-Map
- VFRnav
- EasyVFR
XCSoar only has a radio driver for Funke ATR833 and TQ KRT2 and is therefore not included here.

Am I allowed to use the adapter on my airplane?
The plug-and-play adapters are simply inserted, not permanently installed – no modifications to the aircraft's wiring are required, and they can be removed at any time without leaving any residue. This is straightforward for ultralight and experimental aircraft.
The factual classification – also for certified aircraft (E-class) – can be found on the page Bluetooth adapters in airplanes: what is allowed?
