Feature Enablement - Garmin G1000 Nxi System Maintenance Manual

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, PFD1, PFD2,
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 the ChartView-only display feature. This feature disables
display of Garmin FliteCharts. If Dual Charts feature is desired instead, go to Section 3.9.2.
The required ChartView databases are subscription-based and need to be
procured by the installing agency from the Garmin or Jeppesen website. The
ChartView database is not present in a new display.

configuration mode.

knob to highlight "Configuration Files" and press the ENT key to select it.

Press the ENT key to acknowledge the "Upload Complete" box.
Open PFD1 circuit breaker and remove the ChartView enablement card.
Dual Charts Enablement
Follow this procedure to enable the Dual Charts display feature. This enables the pilot to switch
between Garmin FliteCharts and Jeppesen ChartView products on the MFD.
Insert the Dual Charts Enablement card in the top slot of PFD1 and power on PFD1 in
configuration mode.
On PFD1, select the "System Upload" page using the small FMS knob.
