It does if you update the 175 to the latest software

You wouldn't have to rebuild your panel. You would just need an adapter to change from the the 360 to GI 275 or G5. You also don't loose GPSS.

The Tach time on a mechanical tach has nothing to do with the needle. It is actually just counting the number of times the engine is turning. So unless the cable is slipping or the gears are bad the tach time is correct. The needle is moved by a spinning magnet that pulls the needle over farther the faster in spins.

Since you are using your transponder as a GPS that doesn't have a database you are more then likely getting true heading instead of magnetic variation corrected heading.

Your FS 510 may need a software upgrade which unfortunately has to be done by a Garmin dealer

Does anyone have any pictures of a dual screen G500 TXi (1 x 10" and 1 x 7") in a Mooney.

The KI209A has two different CDI inputs(composite and resolver). The KI 209 only has a composite input and 12 pins. If you are going to use the KI 209 you need to go to the KI 209 page on of the install manual. There is only 6 connections to the 209 from the 355.

I am going to say BK and Dynon are struggling to get autopilots approved. Garmin has gotten more autopilot STC in the last 6 months the BK and Dynon combined since the beginning of the certified autopilot era. Side note according to the Dynon certified page they are currently working on the Mooney STC. It looks like currently only mid-body.

If you want get rid of the KI256 you need the Gad 43. If you want to also get rid of the K297 you would need the GAD 43E. If you replace the KI 256 with a GAD 43 you will need to recalibrate the KFC 150. You will need a back up G5 or GI 275 if you remove the KI256. You really don't gain anything by adding the GTX 345. From personal experience I would keep your current avionics and change to the GFC500 autopilot. I have never flown with a better GA autopilot. On my M20C first 2 hour test flight with a GFC500, I did 6 GPS low approaches ( most with course reversals) and never touched the flight controls except for the takeoff and landing.

Programming the Garmin 430/530 and EDM/FS-450: #1) Garmin program to: RS-232 Input Shadin FF and RS-232 Output Aviation Data formant. Since this Garmin input is now Shadin FF, then on both the EDM and FS-450 you must choose GPS-C=1. (Waypoint) You can not use GPS-C= 6 or 7. If you did you would get a ‘No RS-232 Data’ message on the Garmin. #2) If you program the Garmin Input to Shadin FADC, (same Output –Aviation) then you will need to program the EDM and FS-450 to GPS-C= 6(waypoint) or 7 (destination). You can not use GPS-C=1 anymore. If you did you would get the ‘No RS-232 Data’ message on the Garmin.

The Yaw install kit including servo for a mooney is $2700 list, which assumes that you have the pitch tray.

The GFC500 is as 7-7-21 certified for Mooney M20 Models: C, D, E, F, G, J, K, M, R, S (including 1962-1964 C, D and E Models)

You actually only have to have one G5 and the GFC500. You won't have very many of the lateral functions(ground track and wing level) but you would have most of the vertical functions (vertical speed, altitude preselect, IAS climb, altitude hold). Add a GMU 11 and you would get Heading.

There is a hookup for the GTN shown in the GFC 500 installation manual.

I have a 63C. I made the pilot panel the same angle as the copilot panel which is technically to much of an angle for the G5, however I have a Aspen and a G5 and have had no problems with them. Your big problem will be the Stec. I would also take the shock mount out of what you have.
