Disable Audio/XPDR panel? - AngelOfAttack - 03-20-2025

Hi, just bought this and it works great to replace my "old one".
However one thing it seems not able do compare to the old one is it can't disable Audio Panel and XPDR panel (for both 750 and 725). which can free up 6 user fields for GPS if I already have other audio and xpdr panel in the cockpit.
According to Garmin's menu it requires GMA LRU to have these panel. but in System-External LRUs page, there is no GMA connected.
The "old one" could enable/disable them easily in setting menu, or in it's ini file, use "UseTransponder = false UseAudioPanel = false" to change.
Is there anyway to change it for now? if not, if there is any plan to add this function in the future? thanks!

Hello,

Thank you for your feature request. At this moment it is not possible, we are looking into these features now, as well as in which environment to integrate this(Professional/Consumer)

I had made this same request of the TDS team a long time ago.  Was told it would be “looked into”.  Never heard anything further.  This particular issue make the Reality XP GTN a better choice than the TDS.  Also shows that it is very much possible to do…

Hello,

Indeed this feature is still being looked into. However, it is very unfair to judge a product by just one feature, as opposed to the many others that make the TDS the best GTN Xi GPS choice available on the market. With emphasis that the TDS GTNXi is under continued development!

+1 for this feature! I came here looking to see how it is done.
