The "offical" LXNAV V7 thread

Mike 0! This was the tip that I needed! Switching to COM7 manually did the trick. The installation when smooth as butter after that! Thanks!

Lane - Your MIO will work just fine as long as you select the correct COM port (!). I had used a MIO a year ago to upgrade my V7.

What is the difference between V7 and V7D? I did not find an answer on the LXNav website.

V7D is the repeater for a 2 seat glider.

Hi,

The V7D is the 2nd-seat repeater version of the V7. It is a display without
the vario sensors. It works only when connected to a V7.

Bastoune,

I assume I put the update utility and update file in the primary file directory? Do I create a folder for them or just place them separately in the the primary file structure? Any chance you remember the correct com? I suppose I can start with the com setting I currently have that is communicating with the V7 from the MIO.

Lane,
The easiest way is to create a folder in the primary file directory and save all of the files (LNNUpdate.exe, CeLxV.dll, the VINB and VSEV files) in that directory.

Starting with the COM port that you are using to communicate with the V7 is the right approach (and this is where I got off track as my PNA did not show that COM port as an option in the LXNav Update tool)

Good luck! B.

Bastoune,

Sent LXNav an email last night suggesting they add COM7 to the pulldown and Uros had a new PNA update tool file on their website by 7:30cst this morning! Now if we can just remember from one update to the next that COM7 is what we need to use!

This is fantastic. The LXNav team product support and responsiveness is second to none. This is another fine example!
