Q: I have a Stratus ESG already installed in my 1969 Cherokee 140. Does this kit have everything that I will need to have ADSB in, and to hardwire it to my transponder?
Yes, this comes with all components needed to connect to ESG transponder.
Q: Will this 3i slide right into the connection where a 2i currently sits? I just installed the ESGi with the 2i and the 2i has three red lights indicating that its fried.
So, Im ready to go with the 3i if there are no special installation requirements over the 2i.
If the 3i slides right in, is it possible to get JUST a 3i without the install kit?
Thanks!
