KLN89B database update

I have downloaded from Honeywell Wingman Services a database update for my Bendix King KLN89B panel mount GPS. Has anyone any idea what cable / plug spec I need to attach a laptop to the unit and transfer the new database? Where can I buy such a cable? Do I also need any software on the laptop to do this?

I"ll go out an buy a cheap second hand laptop as I am assuming I can't perform this function from an iPad, having gone all Mac some years ago.

I am guessing that your aircraft has a data plug that looks a bit like the NATO standard headset jackplug ?

What you require is a male type plug to fit this Jack and a standard 7 way D conector, once you have these you can make the cable to connect the KLN89B to your computer, it took me about a hour to construct this cable, the drawings can be found in the KLN89B instalation manual.

Talk to the guys at your Avionic shop, it s likely that one of them will construct a cable for you in his lunch hour if you offer a little cash.
