Cool product, but there doesn't seem to be a certified way to control it? I think an Av-20 or 30 would be a little cumbersome.

For now, it seems to be experimental only. But yeah, the 3 button interface of the AV-20 seems like a whole lot of punching. The knob on the AV-30 doesn't sound so bad once you are at the transponder screen, though. The old Narco AT165 did it that way.
 
I am already scheduled for this to be installed along with an av30c in Feb (as long as it ships in time). I'll be posting/ reviewing it on my Youtube channel and insta, PilotReportz.
 
So, how do you control the transponder from the cockpit?
 
Is there an ADSB in option I wonder?
 
It's only adsb out. You'd need to get the wing tip adsb in when that gets approved
