Well, I had Aspen E5 installed same time with Garmin G175 GPS and are coupled (July 2020) . Test flight was fine and after about 5 hr on it, E5 failed on preflight (Aug) . Took it back to the shop, replaced brand new RSM from Aspen and it was a DOA! Shop had one demo unit, they replaced and worked fine for about 30 hours or so. Last Saturday (Feb 2021) in a cruse mid-flight, giant red Xs. In-flight reboot did not help and could not even get pass initiation. Got on the ground and tried, still could not get through the boot cycle. REALLY pissed at Aspen for bad QC. Good technology and works great when it does but..
