Feature Enablement

This section describes how to unlock or enable optional features. The installer will only load the
sections for the features they require. For installing all feature enablement cards, the PFD and
the MFD must be in configuration mode.
The G1000 has various features that require the use of unlock/enable cards to activate the
feature. Throughout this document these cards are generically referred to as 'enablement
cards'. In some cases, the actual label on the physical card may say 'unlock'.
If uncertain what SD Card to use, the technician must verify the card part number on the
General Arrangement drawing prior to use to assure the correct feature is unlocked.
ChartView Feature Enablement
Follow this procedure to activate Jeppesen ChartView. Enabling this feature, allows the pilot to
switch between Garmin FliteCharts and Jeppesen ChartView products.

procured by the installing agency from the Garmin or Jeppesen website. The
ChartView database is not present in a new display.
