Description
TRIG TY96/TY97 Bluetooth adapter (Dual Source) for SkyDemon, Sky-Map and other navigation apps — SD-TY96/97-DS.
The SD-TY96/97-DS is a compact Bluetooth adapter that connects to the existing TRIG Sub-D connector and the mounting tray of the TRIG TY96/TY97 VHF transceiver without any additional cabling. You can then transmit standby and active frequencies directly from the app via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). The adapter also works when an EFIS (Dynon, G3X, etc.) is already connected — Dual Source . The buyer's guide shows you how to connect your TRIG TY96/TY97 to SkyDemon step by step.
Screw & Play instead of Plug & Play. This adapter attaches to the mounting tray with two screws; the existing connector's two screws are replaced with the mounting clips. No soldering or modifications to the existing wiring are required. In SkyDemon, select "Garmin GTR225 Compatible" as the radio type.

Our TY96 was already connected to the built-in GPS. With the dual-source adapter, I can also transmit frequencies from SkyDemon without interrupting the existing connection. Since the installation, both have been running in parallel without switching.

I use the adapter in the club aircraft together with Sky-Map. It was important to us that the existing avionics could remain connected unchanged. Installation was quick and the frequency transmission to the TY97 works reliably.

The TY96 in our aircraft was already connected to the panel navigator, so the standard adapter was not suitable for us. The dual-source version solved that neatly. EasyVFR now sends frequencies to the radio while the existing GPS connection remains in place. The instructions could be a little more detailed, but support answered my question quickly.

I installed this mainly for use with XCSoar. What I like is that it does not replace the existing navigation source — both connections remain available. Frequency transfer has worked every time so far, and nothing needs to be reconnected before a flight.

The TY97 has a built-in GPS on the board and there is no need to modify this installation. This adaptateur permet d'ajouter VFRnav tout en preserves the existing connection. Après quelques vols, je peux dire que le transfert des fréquences fonctionne très bien.
