 Topic: Bluetooth keyboard failingPosted: 15 Aug 2020 at 6:08pm |

Has anyone else encountered problems with their Avidyne Bluetooth keyboard?
Mine has worked perfectly, but now suddenly freezes after a few keystrokes. Turning it off and on usually solves the problem for a few more keystrokes, but then the problem reoccurs. I have charged it out of plane, also tried the power lead to it in the plane, and have re-paired with IFD 540. None of these things made any difference. It is a great little device, particularly in turbulence, so I don't want to lose it. Does anyone from the Avidyne company have any suggestions? Regards Jeff |

I'm not from Avidyne, but when my remote keyboard started getting laggy, they just replaced it. Give tech support a call. It is a fabulous and unique device. I use it for 90% of my interaction with the IFD.  * Orest

Another possibility is that many Avidyne owners do not use the keyboard, might be able to buy one of those. I agree that it enhances functionality.

Thanks for the above replies and suggestions.
I have contacted Avidyne support, and received a promising reply within a couple of days, but nothing has happened in the weeks since, despite further contact from me. I am rather surprised considering the good support other people have mentioned at various times on this forum. Jeff

If your time is worth anything, buy a new one for $30 on Amazon.

I checked with tech support today and they reported to me that a new keyboard was authorized. I'll follow up with them to be sure it has been sent.

Thanks to Avidyne tech support for arranging a new keyboard to be sent to Australia for me.
