If you supplied the hardware and he provided coding, then it depends. If it will only work correctly by supplying the correct hardware then its on you. If its a matter of simple coding, which you're intimating, then maybe you can try and make the case that he should have known to code it properly. However, if you didn't point out that it was the incorrect DME in the first place then that's kinda on you. So ...

Bottom line if he can get it to work, even though its the incorrect DME, with just software changes - let him do it. As far as how much to pay, you will have to negotiate it with him depending on who's actually at fault here. Might have to go 50/50.

Who's idea was the used DME, who actually supplied it and who installed it?

His idea to replaced the DME due to the old one being faulty and he actually sourced the used one and sourced the person to code the DME.
