We have just updated a 540 440 combo to 10.2.
We have been through and double checked all settings per the SIL and then went back into config to re-connect the bluetooth remote, set the Wi-Fi to local and change the SSID / PSK as neither Bluetooth or Wi-Fi appeared to be working.
Neither are options in the user settings like the pilots guide shows and neither option has a green box around it on the software status page on the SYS tab.

Am I missing something?

Have you ever seen WiFi/BT on those units?

If not, there is a simple enable procedure by loading a file from the USB. This is not part of the 10.2 upgrade.

Bluetooth was definitely working before as we had the remote working fine (in it's limited pre 10,2 sense), Wi-Fi i'm not too sure.
I did just see there was a seperate SB for Wifi and Bluetooth activation which i'm struggling to find on the Avidyne website at the moment.

Thanks

I was told by tech support that if I did not enter the airplane N number on page 3 of the config pages, those features, wifi and bluetooth, would be disabled.  I entered the N number and I have those features.  I have used the wifi and bluetooth for the keyboard.

Thanks everyone I had some amazing customer service from Michael Clifford at Avidyne and after a little trial and error we are all up and running.

Yes I did see that note in the service bulletin and made sure the rego was set.
I don't think i'm the only one to see this fault but one of only a couple.

I have sent through the logs so hopefully they may be able to see where it went wrong to stop it happneing again.

Love that SVS page!!
