  Howard GambleAug 19, 2025
  If your Avidyne Car Navigation system unit starts up in Maintenance Mode, it could be due to a USB fob installed at power up, or the IFD was last shut down in Maintenance Mode. Ensure the fob is not in the USB slot and reapply power to the IFD. Alternatively, press the left or right side of the AUX page until the “DONE” Line Select Key is visible and press that LSK to force the IFD to restart into flight mode.
