BillC Posted March 23, 2016 Report Posted March 23, 2016 I just had a Garmin GTX345 installed in my Ovation. It's connected to a GNS530W originally equipped. Wireless connection to a Garmin 796 that is mounted on the control yoke. With audio alerts, that I can mute on the audio panel, and a clear picture of traffic on the 796 I'm looking forward to the return trip from Florida to Maine. For those interested, the cost was $5700 USD. The avionics shop bought my KT76A for $300 USD. 3 Quote
jmbaute Posted March 23, 2016 Report Posted March 23, 2016 Our shop quoted 6500 and offered 250 for our GTX327. Guess I should keep looking. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote

Cruiser Posted March 23, 2016 Report Posted March 23, 2016 mine is in the shop for a GTX 335 now. Using iLevil2-AW for input on the iPad I will let you know on the price. Quote
Ftlausa Posted March 23, 2016 Report Posted March 23, 2016 I just sold my GTX 327 for $900. They are going for up to $1,200 on Ebay. Quote

Cruiser Posted March 30, 2016 Report Posted March 30, 2016 It is still in the shop. I will let you know. Quote

Then I have to request a readout from the FAA to see if they are receiving my ADS-B info. I'll post a pirep as soon as I get a response. I'll let you all know if the traffic, audio alerts and weather functions properly. Quote
Bob - S50 Posted March 30, 2016 Report Posted March 30, 2016 When you had it installed, did you have them set it up to make the flight ID editable or fixed? 1 Quote
Danb Posted March 30, 2016 Report Posted March 30, 2016 Mine went in for install and the mechanic looked lost with the G-1000, O2 bottle, headliner etc., I quickly massaged the guy called DMax up they talked to each other, decided to take all the equip. to Texas and they will do the install, all of a sudden they advised a $4000 antennae, gps,xm,vhf antennae, so now I'm waiting until July. I stopped my XM since I didn't need it anymore. Nothing is easy Quote

I stopped my XM since I didn't need it anymore. Nothing is easy You can always go on the XM skywatch plan for boats: 9.99 per month, provides almost everything the aviation plan provides (including METARS, moving weather, etc . . .). I lowered my subscription from 54.00 a month to 9.99 per month once I got my Stratus 2 (from a fellow MooneySpacer when he got his new Stratus 2s). I like the display of the WX weather on my in panel Aera 560 more than the ipad, which I need to mount, so for now I'm keeping the $10 per month XM in addition to the Ipad Stratus 2 weather . . . for now. -Seth 1 Quote
KSMooniac Posted March 31, 2016 Report Posted March 31, 2016 Does that plan have winds aloft or echo tops or any other nice extra, or just the nexrad? How about storm cells and lightning? Quote
Danb Posted April 1, 2016 Report Posted April 1, 2016 Luckily the $4000 antennae was incorrect Garmin35 waas...Thanx David/Deb 1 Quote

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk I'm getting the NGT-9000 installed at Pacific Coast Avionics and they're giving me $800 credit on my GTX327. This was negotiated AFTER the original quote was drawn up so its not like they had a chance to bump up the cost knowing I was trading it in. Over all I think I'm getting a pretty good deal with them.

Are you interfacing it with anything else in the plane? I'm really interested in finding someone that has interfaced one of these units with an Aspen or GTN (if at all even possible). Quote

I'm really interested in finding someone that has interfaced one of these units with an Aspen or GTN (if at all even possible). Unfortunately no. At this time the 9000 don't interface with the Avidyne 440s that I'm also getting and it's anybody's guess if that will eventually happen being that Avidyne has their own ADS-B OUT transponder with a separate IN solution. But I'm confident (hopeful) they will. Avidyne doesn't seem to be like Garmin where they try to tie up their products to only work with THEIR products. Only time will tell, but hopefully you looked at the tread about the new Avidyne IFD features. Wowzers! 1 Quote
