Anyone know how to do a mag calibration on the 5500? Driving me nuts!

Looks like install manual 15.1 page 31 describes magnetometer calibration.

I finally figured out how to calibrate the AHARS but the accuracy is still poor and slow to react during turning.
I just went through this. I can't find any current documentation either. We struggled a bit calibrating my airplane until a call to Rob explained that the canopy had to be closed. My ADAHRS SV-200 is in the tail at the baggage bulkhead and the canopy frame interfered with the calibration, a lot, when fully open. Closed the canopy and it went smoothly. I'm not sure if it matters if the avionics are on or not. We calibrated mine with them off. The 5400 accepted the calibration and it seems to work properly on the ground (with canopy closed) but it hasn't flown yet.
