Is there a way I can get traffic onto the 540?

With software 10.2 to the IFD540, the 540 is compatible with the GDL-90 protocol, which means the IFD will display weather and traffic information from the NGT-9000. The wiring interface involves the RS-422 out connected to the RS-232 in at the IFD

They also say they don't see why feeding it via RS232 from a PilotAware shouldn't work but I don't know anyone who's tried it.
Yet.

...........if that XXX/RS232 suggestion does work..................it will invalidate what was a certified IFD540 installation in a certified aircraft
