Dynon certified SkyView HDX. Gives you the engine monitor, autopilot, ADS-B, synthetic vision, angle of attack and more. Probably $30K all in. Add in a used G530W and you'll be set for a decade or more. You'll have to wait though, Mooneys aren't on the AML yet

I'm not sure a new install 530 makes financial sense today. An Avidyne 540 wouldn't be much more and is easily a decade newer technology (in addition to being a much nicer box).

I am currently working through an install based on the Skyview.   This is using the base level 7" screens.  If we assume install costs and accesories like wire and antennas remain constant.   The table below is for the base system and then the second cost column is for adding redundancy.   This would be full redundant with redundant path.  I am still working on the block diagrams and planning for power.  So Flight instruments, Navigation, ADSB in and Out, Engine Monitor and VHF Comm.   Redundancy on Flight Instruments, Navigation and Comm.  I get $16285.00   For about $9000 you could get redundant Flight Instruments and Navigation.   Still working on the Autopilot aspects.
