Jorge, I'll resound the advice -- check "Menu => About => Connected Devices" and make sure you have selected the "Dual XGPS 170" for the wireless device. I assume you have already done this, probably, yes?

Also, after it fails, please do "Menu => About => Send Bug Report" and reference this thread so that I can associate the bug report mentally. I'll check it for warnings and errors.

Again today had to restart my tablet for it to work. here's a screen shot showing the GPS-170 is paired with my tablet. I also sent in a bug report.

Re: Connectivity with Dual GPS-170

Again, did you go into the IFly program and click About - Connected Devices - Select Wireless Device - Dual XGPS (ADS-B)? You need to do that after connecting your tablet to the Dual XGPS via bluetooth.

Yes. I wait for several minutes and check it and it still says selected device not connected.

Jorge - Here's an oldie but moldy post from 2014 where another iFly user had a similar issue resolved. 2014 was a long time ago in iFly age, so screen layouts etc. have probably changed. It looks to me like the key might be in setting the Dual to ADS-B mode and not GPS mode.

Good luck!
