Anyone have experience with the GDL-69A and the MX-20 setup?

I fired up the GDL-69 for the first time last night and I'm not sure if there is anything wrong or not but heres a little info if someone has input.

 The Mx-20 interfaces perfectly with the NAV and GPS, they show up as good input on the system screen on port 1, and port 2. 

  

 I installed the GDL-69 on port 3 but it shows no input from that device, is there a setup process for the MX-20 that I'm missing to enable that port or does is normally find the data stream as is is recieved? (sorta plug n play)

  

 I don't have the XM service yet but I was waiting to get closer to flying before starting the subscription. I was hoping to be able to at least confirm it is operating OK before paying for the subscrition.

  

 Pin checks show:

There is power to the unit

The shielded data wires from the two units cont. ck good

No shorts to shields or ground on data wires

This is a refurbished unit, so I have that unknown factor but it's from a good dealer.

 Any thoughts on this?

There is a set-up process for the ports.  I remember having a similar issue - you gotta hold a couple of buttons while you power-up, IIRC.  I don't have my manual here - you may be able to get it online - but not from Garmin anymore - I just tried.

Lol....yup true dat.I got to tell you the pictures on the MX-20 are very cool...I only sctatched the surface last night but tied to the 480 and the Jepp database installed on both..you almost don't need a pen handy to take notes, all the info is a button push away and loaded into the FP, really neat things are to load your Departure and Arrival airport info off the database instead of manually inputing them into the 480 comm nav. Lots still to learn about the systems. Tank goodnees dare R a bunch O pitures fer me to understand. Flight planning is amazing...but I'm sure a lot of you already know that.
