Can we still operate in remote mode. I'm not having any luck with attaching to the Stratus 2.
Here is my set-up

I like #2 a lot. When being vectored on an approach to the IAF with a procedure turn, the intention of ATC is not to do the procedure turn. It is a bit of a hassle to wait until crossing the fix, switching to FMS, select the appropriate leg and activating it, especially as the autopilot starts the procedure turn/holding pattern.

Well done...

Can you also ask them to look into the ROT 1R approach?
The autopilot will not fly this onecorrectly as it will overshoot the turn onto final.

It looks OK to me in the database.  As approaches go, it's about as plain vanilla as you can get.

What's your 429 and 232 config?  Is your autopilot flying roll steering?  If so, at what point does it switch to VLOC?  Any chance of you getting video of it happening?

Data blocks on the Synthetic Vision page/tab with the ability to show/hide just like they are on the map page.

Does anyone have wi-fi working as a remote? If you do
I need some guidance. I'm trying to run with the Stratus 2
as the hub.

Perhaps Jeppesen incorrectly coded EH241 as a fly over instead of a fly by waypoint?

Steve your question is raising my interest as I have reported more than once that my KFC150 ap mostly turns into the wrong direction when intercepting the final approach course during a vectored approach. Our interception angle is usually less than 30 degrees. the gps vloc switch happens extremely late so that I end up switching manually.

I never understood why sometimes it turns correctly into the final approach course and the next time it turns away from it.
Your remarks about the settings is raising my interest, could this be at the source of my problems?

I use remote mode, but have not reconfigured since 10.2.1.

Will let you know what I find.

That was my first thought too, but I checked the raw navigation database and it's not flyover.

If the autopilot is using deviations, I would expect it to turn away from final when you're outbound on a course reversal.  But if you're inbound on a vectors to final, and you are on course to intercept the active leg, I wouldn't expect it to turn the wrong way.

It's unlikely that your settings are the source of the behavior you're reporting, though.

Can you post some specific examples of approaches where the autopilot turns away from final and some other examples where it turns the correct way?

I recently received my new 540/440 combo in Hungary. The local dealer MM-Systems installed, worked perfectly on the test run, but before the first flight the display produced the following anomaly. 

Any ideas, beside the fact, that the unit goes back to the factory :(

Zs.

Steve, I don‘t have videos of it but I have experienced this behaviour multiple times on the ILS 14 approach into LSZH.
I am usually coming from the south on the kelip 1 golf arrival and then I get vectored. The final heading I get is 110. The AP is in heading mode with APP armed. Instead of turning right the airplane turns left. This happens most of the times but not always that‘s why I don‘t understand it. The only difference might be my altitude as Zurich Arrival has a tendency to keep GA too high.
What drives my crazy is that the few times it works I have no indications why.

FYI, the video doesn't work for me in the USA. When I click on it it says:
