YV1 Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 I'm student pilot training in a CTLS. I'm starting to fly solo and I would like to know more a bout the CTLS. The one I'm flying has XM radio. I can turn it on but I have no idea how to switch stations. I'll attach a pic of the panel. Also, I've watched some youtube of similar CTLS with audio alerts and alarms. I tried every menu on the Dynons, I can't turn the audio alarms on. I'll appreciated any help. BTW i'm not planing on listening music while I'm training. I just trying to learn the plane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Jefts Posted January 6, 2021 Report Share Posted January 6, 2021 Looks like a Garmin 696 in the middle. Go to menus and tools in 696 and look for xm radio menue and if you have a subscription and an antenna - I think GXM40 or GXM42 on the antenna, you should be good. The xm subscription is tied to your antenna. There is a switch on your audio panel that may have to be switched. On the menue, I think the XM selection was on the lower part of the page in the center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YV1 Posted January 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2021 Duane, thanks so much. I can select xm radio on the audio panel a listen to the XM promo. But I had no idea that the G696 controls the XM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I had no idea that the G696 controls the XM. It does .. it also controls certain alarms ( obstacles, altitude etc ). I listen to XM on every flight - XM ends up with the lowest priority in the system and Aera automatically adjust volume by subtly muting down music whenever there is another input ( alerts, radio etc )- very smooth and non obtrusive setup.
