CoPilot reciever compatibility...

dieselphreak2K · Jan 1, 2007

Hey, can anybody give me a definite answer... Will the reciever from streets and trips work with co-pilot 4? My reciever went out, and now ALK is giving me the run-around. I need to figure this out. I'm heading back out this comin friday and with out the GPS I may as well stay home.

The MS S&T receiver is a regular old cheap import USB receiver so I would assume it should work for co pilot. You may have to change the port around on the software.

I use the same receiver for 3 different applications at different times.

I have both and at least mine is not just plug in and go. It may work if you tweak some settings but I couldn't find it right off and gave up before I got it to work. Good luck getting the right settings.

Well, I did check both websites, and a couple of others, and it should work. However, if you'r ever in my situation, and the reciever goes out, replacemnts are on ebay from $20 to $75. Just be sure you get one that is the same 183 class.

If you go to www.alk.com on their website are the directions for setting up copilot with any receiver other than theirs. i just did it and was on in nothing flat!! happy trails...frank
