Brand-new NGT9000 unit never installed, and never opened except to take pictures. Antennas are also brand-new, never installed. Unit contains the below elements...

**REMOVED** Active Traffic unlock code (about $1550) - PRICE ADJUSTED TO REFLECT THIS.
* Sensor Systems NY156 TCAS antenna (about $2500)
* The "expensive" Sensor Systems WAAS antenna (about $750)
* A new CI-105 transponder antenna (not pictured here (about $130)
* Mounting tray
* All connectors

Asking $8,950 for the entire kit or best offer.

I'm taking my new-to-me Ovation's project in a different direction, so am selling this unit. Message me with any questions and I'll reply as quickly as possible.

Regards,
Steve

Just a heads up the enablements are tail number specific so if they've already been activated you probably cannot transfer them to a new tail number. Since it hasn't been installed maybe you can get an exception but just be aware.

Thanks Derek. Although the airplane is new to me, the "different direction" we're taking is to likely sell the aircraft given a change in my career path, so we're putting several projects on-hold until we determine whether it will be put up for sale.

I've reached out to Carmen at L-3 for clarification on your comment. Appreciate that you raised it.

I, too, sold my NGT-9000+ earlier this year, and I confirmed with L3 that my TAS enablement certificate was not valid for the new owner. That was an unpleasant surprise, but it's their policy.

Otherwise, the Lynx is a great unit, and the integration of active traffic and ADS-B traffic always worked very well.

Thanks to Martin and Derrick for your input, as I was not aware of this issue when I made the listing so I appreciate you bringing it to my attention. The last thing I want is an upset buyer resulting from something I didn't disclose - whether I knew about it or not. It's my responsibility to know.

My shop is working with L-3 to determine whether the TAS enablement certificate has been implemented (we're pretty sure it has NOT been used), so when I have confirmation, I'll post that here and continue with the sale.

Again, thanks all.
Steve

JOOC, what prevents the new owner from using the TAS feature in their airplane? I suppose that since the ADS-B out needs the mode-S code for the airplane they could restrict it that way but this seems like a really stupid policy.

ADSB transponders all need the tail number programmed into them.
The enablement's in the NGT (TAS, Diversity and voicecall outs) are tied to the tail number.
So when you reconfig the tail number, it drops the enablements.
Only work around would be to change your tail number to match the tail number programmed in the unit (that is a joke).

I'm going to guess you simply contact L3/Harris provide them with the N-number change paperwork and they'll reissue the activation keys.

I also asked them about using the FAA's PIA (Privacy ICAO Address) program and they have no way of supporting that yet either.

I expect more and more avionics vendors doing the same type of N-number restrictions to prevent the sale of used avionics without paying $$ to get activation keys. Welcome to the world where you don't really own stuff you purchased.

This is correct.
I have done it before when I was hired to "restrap" a plane after paint/tail number change.
I provided the unit SN, the old tail number, the new tail number, a snap shot of the activated items and they sent me a new config file.

All,

I finally received word from my shop about this a bit ago. As I figured (and as several folks suspected), L-3's response is that the TAS unlock code in my possession has been applied/used, and cannot be reused with another tail number. It would have to be purchased separately and applied to the next tail number.

To that end, I'm leaving this listing up, and have adjusted the asking price downward by $1550 (the average cost of the TAS unlock feature). All other elements will be included in the sale as I've listed them.

Price is reflected at the top of the listing, so again, please let me know if questions, etc.
