Definitely grabbing that if I go with G5’s. Thanks Odie!

Thanks Pine

Thanks to both of you for your input. All good points and think I’ll go with the 355 and G5’s. My autopilot is vacuum driven, but I’m going to eventually replace it with something newer.

Question, If I purchased a GTN-650, can it share the same 209 CDI with the kx-155? Do they make a switch I can use to go back and forth between a ILS and GPS/LPV? Nick

I think I finally have a game plan after a lot of back and forth. I’m about to order a direct wiring harness from Approach fast stack using the Garmin GNC355. The last piece of the puzzle is do I use a 106B, GI275 or a G5 DG/Nav. I’m leaning on a G5 as I plan on putting a G5 adi in later and...

Noted for future, and appreciate your opinion.

I can’t agree or disagree since I haven’t owned or used either. But I value your opinion. If Avidyne had a product in the price range I’m needing, I would give them strong consideration. At the end of the day, I need a capable Waas Gps for kids training and occasional travel. I bought this...

Those are both nice features. I’ll have the kx-155 with ILS as a backup to the 355. Adding a 355, Cdi(106a or possibly the GI275) driving a single axis Century seems like a nice upgrade for what I plan to do with the plane. If my comm radios weren’t acting up, I would have probably sprung for...

I have the 355 app and actually been enjoying it and like a lot of its features. Out of curiosity, What do you like about the avidyne better than the Garmin? I do realize there are better systems out there, but this is a training plane for the kids that occasionally the wife and I will use for...

Which Avidyne Clip? From what I briefly searched, we are almost talking double the price. Even used prices are astronomical.

That’s crazy! I definitely will, thanks for the tip.

If the Avionics shops come back with crazy pricing, I’m going to have the A&P install the GPS, Cdi and show him the schematic for hooking up the autopilot. There are two wires lateral +/- that go to Cdi and autopilot. My plane just came out of annual with the Century II acting up when it was...

I somehow missed this post. Panel looks great! I spent a month looking for a slightly used gtn 650 etc and all I came up with were ridiculous used prices vs new and a ton of scammers. It was extremely frustrating and leading me to just buy new from a reputable dealer with a 2 year warranty...

I just was researching this last night. But everything keeps adding to the bottom line which is adding up quickly. I really want the adi and hsi replaced with digital for safety, but will quickly put me into $20k plus which is why I wanted to tackle gps this year and instruments next year...

LOL, yep! Owned the plane almost two years and tired of staring at it! Purchased this plane for my two kids flight instruction and it’s time to bring it up to speed a bit.

Thanks Ryan, I asked the shops to quote a Garmin 106a instead.

Thanks Dave, I have 3 shops working on a quote.

Another question came into mind, I found a compatible KI 209. Do I need to order an install kit for it?

Thanks Ryan! The info I was looking for. I’m going to meet up with him this week and see how many installs he has under his belt.

Hi everyone, 75’ Piper Warrior with a straight six pack that I’m looking to add a GNC 355 since my 2 kx-155 are starting to give me problems. I have a Piper Autocontrol IIB that I would like the 355 to interface with. I wanted the 355 with cdi to be primary at top of stack and would keep the...
