A detailed Installation Guide It is included and is also available online. How to access your Connecting TRIG TY96/TY97 to SkyDemonOur buying guide shows you how, step by step.

For experimental use only!

Not every radio allows a PnP adapter – that’s why we have responded to your requests.

Many of you also wanted to use our adapters with Mounting trays (GARMIN/TQ) or Binder bushings (funke) – but the plug-and-play adapters do not fit here.
This is due to design reasons, as an adapter simply does not fit between a socket permanently installed in the mounting tray and the plug of the radio.

The solution: PigTails – tailored to individual wiring requirements to easily solve complex installation situations.

Available now:

Proven in the avionics workshop. Our PigTails offer the necessary flexibility for individual installations – and bring our adapters to places where they previously couldn't fit.

We listened to you: Our new adapters are here!

We call it dual-source.

Many pilots have asked us: "Can I use SkyDemon even though my EFIS is already connected to the radio?" – From now on, the answer is: Yes, you can!

Our new Dual Source Adapters make exactly that possible:

➡️ SkyDemon / Sky-Map / VFRnav / XCsoar – integration via Bluetooth®

➡️ Continue using the existing EFIS connection at the same time

Whether Garmin G3X , Dynon SkyView , Nesis , or other systems – thanks to the dual-source principle, the existing data line is split by the adapter and the data from the second source is mixed in. No reprogramming, no configuration required.

Developed, tested and improved based on customer feedback – for maximum flexibility in the cockpit.

💬 "Finally I can use my EFIS AND SkyDemon without compromise – a great solution!" – Feedback from a beta tester

We are pleased to present another highlight in the SD-Link portfolio:

The new SD-Link adapter for the uAvionix AV-30 Multi-Function Display (MFD) is here!

This adapter allows navigation data for the autopilot from SkyDemon to be displayed directly on an AV-30 MFD via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) – without any manual input or complicated wiring. The AV-30 is thus transformed into a SkyDemon-synchronized HSI, displaying the planned course, course deviation, name, and distance to the next waypoint.

Advantages at a glance:
✅ Plug-and-play solution for AV-30
✅ Navigation data transmission of the active leg via Bluetooth BLE directly from SkyDemon
✅ Consistent display of the real situation and the planning – simple and precise
✅ Compact design, easy retrofitting
✅ combinable with uAvionix AV-Link

We are pleased to announce that our SD-Link adapters are now compatible with the Sky-Map navigation software.

All adapter models are fully supported – now also the adapter for the Becker AR620X.

We are pleased to introduce a new version of our proven SD-Link ATR833 Bluetooth adapter: the angled version!

Especially when space is limited behind the radio, as is the case with many ATR833 installations, a space-saving solution is required.
To ensure optimal adaptation to the different radio devices To enable this, we now offer two options:

• SD-ATR833-A-LEFT – The front Sub-D connector widens downwards
• SD-ATR833-A-RIGHT – The front Sub-D connector tapers downwards

Since the orientation depends on Radio model varies, we have a Assignment table created.

As usual, the adapter works without any additional wiring or mechanical modifications . Simply plug it in between the radio and the Sub-D connector – that's it! Naturally, this version is also compatible with SkyDemon, allowing standby and active frequencies to be conveniently transmitted via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).

Key Features:
✔ Compatible with ATR833-S, ATR833-A and ATR833-II OLED 
✔ Space-saving design, ideal for tight installation situations
✔ No additional power supply required, supports 12V & 24V avionics bus 
✔ Stable seat thanks to Molex Latch Systems 
✔ V24 data interface for optional extensions (e.g. autopilot, AV-30 displays)
✔ Compact design: 46 x 61 x 17 mm, only 60 g 
✔ Simple installation – no soldering or modifications required

This new variant gives pilots even more flexibility during installation – without compromising on stability and functionality!

The SD-GENERIC-E V1.2 universal adapter is the first SD-Link product with Bluetooth® 5.0 Low Energy . This new technology enables not only fast frequency transmission to radios , but also stable and uninterrupted transmission of navigation data to autopilots.

Previously, Bluetooth versions could experience connection drops because the limited data packet length was insufficient to fully transmit larger amounts of navigation information. Bluetooth 5.0 eliminates this problem thanks to unlimited data packet lengths and significantly improved signal stability.

The advantages of Bluetooth® 5.0 for SD-Link adapters:

• Stable connection without interruptions – no limit on data packet length, ideal for navigation information to autopilots
• Doubled range – reliable communication even in demanding environments
• Higher data rate - up to 2 MBit / s for fast frequency and navigation transmission
• Lower energy consumption – more efficient power management for longer operating times
• More reliable signal transmission – improved immunity to other radio signals

Our other products will follow soon.

Important note: The mechanical dimensions, installation process, and handling remain unchanged . The proven SD-Link quality is retained – now with more powerful and stable communication technology.
