Just a quick question, I am aware of symultory having a plug and play or there about overhead for 737, But at this stage I am a little hesitant to purchase any of there products.
Is there any other companies that provide a plug and play overhead.
I also would also like to hear some feedback from people who have purchased a plug and play overhead, or there about.

Regards Damien

Gidday Damian,
I have purchased the "Cockpitsonic" overhead panel "plug'n'play", you need just to connect 5V/12V and 9 USB Ports, and run their TEMPEST software on the client, connected to the overhead's USBs - that's it!

I can recommend it!

Cheers
René

Thanks René

I guess thats the price of most P&P options $5000eur, for me that would convert to $DEVORCEaus....:? Maybee it's worth it hehehe.

I built this one (almost finished) and used FDS panels ,hardware and the New Overhead frame, but they sell the whole overhead P&P. Very nice product.

That does look very nice. I guess we are looking for plug and play simply to cut out all of the wiring and placing together part.
FDS looks like the best option for us price wise, U.S dollar is not that bad compared to the AUS at the moment

Actually the wiring is now very simplified with direct connectors to the annunciators...and progamming the software is really fast and easy.
