To work with SkyView, the NAV 2000 must have v1.10 Software (minimum). The Software
version is displayed during the NAV 2000 startup.
Connect NAV 2000 serial RX Pin 4 (Connector P1) to a SkyView serial TX. If you have more
than one SkyView display, make the same connection to all SkyView displays.
Connect NAV 2000 serial TX Pin 5 (Connector P1) to a SkyView serial RX. If you have more
than one SkyView display, make the same connection to all SkyView displays.
Ensure there is a shared ground between the SkyView display and the NAV 2000 – Serial
Ground Pin 3 (Connector P1). If you have more than one SkyView display, make the same
connection to all SkyView displays.
