I have a mint condition PMA8000 Audio Panel / Intercom for sale, 

including a brand new never opened install kit and mounting tube. It's a 

fully-functional working pull that I bought brand new and started flying 

in 2/2006. It has the option for separate front/rear music inputs, and 

up to 6 seats for the intercom. It's for sale for $1200. More pictures 

available upon request.

Nah, selling it all off piece by piece. 

Just kidding.  Yeah, I spent some more money and bought the

newest one from PS Engineering.  Costs a bit more for

Bluetooth but being a complete geek I'll always have

more toys than money so I went for it.

I've been trying to decide whether to go with the 8000B, the 5000EX, or the 9000EX for my panel.  I've got some time before that choice needs to be made.  I'll be interested to read your comparison between your old and new audio panels when the time comes.

Nope, that's why the new audio panel....I already had non Bluetooth headsets.  Now I don't need one.

I flew behind an 8000 in my last airplane (182) and can attest that it is a fine audio panel. I might have been interested if I wasn't planning to attempt to build my own. OTOH, you're competing against PS's new 5000EX, which is less expensive (who needs Marker Beacons?).

If I was to upgrade my GMA-340 to a PS system, what are the things I need to consider?  Does the PS series fit a Garmin rack?  Are the pinouts the same on both units?  Or is there a serious amount of rewiring required?



Pretty happy with the 340, just curious.

Yeah, experimentals have better options than certifieds.

I still do have a marker beacon antenna though.



I think I will lower the price though.  $1000 for it.

Especially for someone with a certified plane, that

should be a pretty good deal.  And, it hopefully gets

it off my hands.  If nothing else, eBay will make

it go.

The 8000B should slide right into the tray for the 340.  You could check with Stein or whoever your avionics guy is, but I'm pretty sure, if you're already wired, this will work without any changes.

Tim,



What phone do you have?  We've got a 9000EX in the 10 and it won't sync with my Iphone 3G.  I called PS on it, and they are aware of the problem...  Perhaps its fixed a new firmware version.



Also, as far as headsets go... The new Bose will NOT do music over Bluetooth.     It syncs to the phone and makes calls... but no music.



Zulu does both, and to think I thought bose would get something correct.

I've got an iphone 3GS, with iOS4.  It sync's fine,

and does all functions, including a couple that

the manual says it won't do.



That sucks about the new Bose that it won't offer

what Zulu does for music, but, even if it did,

would a Zulu pump the music into the rest of the

intercom so everyone can hear it? If not, I'd

consider it useless for music anyway.

Tim I take that you got the 5000ex?

I to have the 9000ex and will not sync

To my iPhone. PSE says we will need to send back once they figure it  

out.

My understanding is the 5000 has a different Bluetooth device or  

something.

My Zulu will do everything I want it to do, keep my wife happy as she 

listens to what she wants. and my daughters have their own jacks so each can 

listen to their own music.  I don't have time for music trying to keep the 

autopilot straight so I have the Bose. The jack on the intercom and front 

passenger and rear passengers are fine if we ever want to hear the same 

thing at the same time. But I know my daughters will want to hear their 

movies more than music at this point so I built the plane for that.

Build it for what you will use now and upgrade when that need requires 

something different. I agree that for having wireless music everyone 

appreciates Tim has it made with the PMA.

No, I spent more and got the 8000BT.  I do like having a marker

beacon receiver, and the 8000's still offer some things that

the 5000EX doesn't.  One of them is the 6-seat capability, which

I actually do use.  I've used it for 3 rear-seat headsets, and

I've used it for Video Mic sound.  The 5000EX wouldn't be my

choice for my plane, although it's not a bad audio panel.  The

8000BT is just better.  I loved my PMA8000 all this time.  I

did use the cellphone jack a lot for getting clearances and

such. It's just that for all the cables I buy (many many many)

for all the gadgets that I play with (many), I get frustrated

that I even had to have that little 12" cable to hook up the

phone.  So I upgraded.  Never once did it matter to me that I

could get bluetooth in a headset, because while that would

work fine, it just is another "knobby thing" hanging off your

headset cord.  The Bose panel powered stuff for the AviationX

are nice and slim and light.  I had thought about building a

bluetooth dongle into the audio panel, or adding a bluetooth

handsfree wired in somehow, but there again, that was a hack.

It's a lot of money to pay to get headset phone access, but

PS Engineering makes great stuff and I was happy with the 8000

for all that time, so I figured since I didn't have anything

else to buy at OSH, I may as well do this while I have the

motivation, having just done a couple of IFR flights with

phone clearances just before OSH.  Considering that the

audio panels are a slide-in upgrade, it was just the added cost

that was the sticking point.
