INTRODUCTION
The Garmin GDL 69A receiver interfaces with the
G1000 to bring XM Weather and XM Digital Audio
Entertainment to the cockpit. XM Weather and XM
Radio operate in the S-band frequency range to provide
continuous uplink capabilities at any altitude throughout
North America.
NOTE: Before the GDL 69A can be used, it must
be activated by XM Satellite Radio. The GDL 69A
XM Satellite Radio Activation Instructions
