What is the difference between Honeywell (Bendix/King) part numbers with 9 digits vs. 12 digits?
None, they represent the same unit. Original King Radio part numbers were 9 digits. For example, 066-3056-01. During the Bendix and King merger (i.e. Bendix/King), a new part numbering system was created that converted these 9 digit part numbers to 12 digits. Therefore, 066-3056-01 became 066-03056-0001. Despite this numbering change, units that were originally from the King Radio design still have the 9 digit part number format on the unit dataplate. The 12 digit format for King units appears to be used for catalog and internal Honeywell purposes only. Therefore, any unit that has a zero in its third to last number (i.e. XXX-XXXX-X0XX) has a 9 digit part number (i.e. XXX-XXXX-XXX) on its dataplate / ID Plate.
What is the function of the course datum synchro?
Available as an option in some navigation CDIs, the course datum synchro is useful for autopilot interface. Course datum provides course information to the autopilot for use to compute VOR intercepts.
Why did Bendix/King change their part numbers from a 9 digit to a 12 digit format?
In January 1989 Bendix/King changed from a nine digit to a twelve digit part numbering system. The new, larger 12 digit numbers allowed for the inclusion of software version into the last two digits of the part number for certain units in which software changed frequently such as EFIS and TCAS processors. Therefore, the two digits immediately preceding the software version indicate the hardware version of the unit.
Different software versions imply different operational features and/or interface capabilities and software modifications imply software repairs (bug fixes) to insure proper operation of these features and interfaces. Software version upgrades frequently require hardware modifications to the unit. Such hardware modifications accompanying software version upgrades do not necessarily change the hardware version of the unit.

Is it true that the KI-202, KI-203, KI-204, and KI-206 are not repairable if they are below serial number 10000?
No, units with serial numbers below 10000 can be repaired. However, is it rather expensive due to the meter replacement kit needed to repair these units. We would suggest that you purchase a newly overhauled unit with a serial number above 10000.
My KI-203 / KI-204 indicator seems to be off several degrees, what should I do?
As per the installation manual, if an error of greater than 2 degrees exists when testing with a ramp tester, then VOR centering is changed behind the left mounting screw with the proper adjustment tool. This procedure is detailed in the Installation Manual for these units.
