    Does the brain trust know which GPS is in a CF-18? the older CF-28 or the (slightly) newer CF29? This particular machine is CF-18DDAZAMM.

    Thanks,
    Tim

    Ohlip will know as he is currently working on the CF-18 aftermarket GPS solution. Maybe you can PM him or just wait as I know he will chime in soon.

    The gps module for CF-18 is the same gps module use for cf-29 and also same antena. But on cf-18 you need a daughterboard to mount the module and also a bumper plastic cap casing for an antena mount on outerside corner.
