I have a dual screen setup with a 5600 and a 4500 displays. A GTX-327 transponder is connected to the 4500. I read in another post that the 5600 should be able to control the transponder even when it is connected to a remote display, however the XPDR menu is grayed out on the 5600. I also can't find a menu for controlling the transponder from the 4500. Should this arrangement allow for setting the transponder code from the EFIS?

A feature can't be inherited it from a new generation display if it wasn't part of its own generation of hardware. Two AF-5000 displays would have control of our 74109 Class 1 Mode-S ES ADS-B transponder.
