XM weather activation question Garmin 3/496
I have one of the Awmap PDA-based systems that preceded Garmin's
396/496 series and have recurring trouble with the Wx download de-activating if I don't fly for a month. This time I can't re-activate at all for some reason. Have any of you 3/496 owners had a problem with involuntary de-activation? |

There were several when the 496 first came out that had the problem but there hasn't been any mention of it on the group lately. I assumed they fixed the problem. Your problem is different if you can't get it reactivated at all. |

This time I can't re-activate at all for some reason. Have any of you 3/496 owners had a problem with involuntary de-activation? I didn't use my 396 for almost 3 months during my interior renovation. I had no problems when I fired it up for the first time after that period of time. Then again, I didn't have any problems with the WxWorx box and AWM deactivating either, but proper shutdown of AWM appeared to be key. I suspect that the WxWorx box had something to do with it also. The GXM30/GXM30A receivers are a Garmin design, so they wouldn't necessarily have the same hardware problems of the WxWorx box. JKG |

When they do this involuntary deactivation, they stop charging you for the service too, right? hahahaha, I'm funny sometimes |
