Yetti Posted January 8, 2019 Report Posted January 8, 2019 What's the old CDI? Sell it here and then you have to put the new one in. Quote

Marauder Posted January 8, 2019 Report Posted January 8, 2019 MidContinent MD200-306, essential a garmin gi106a This conversation is bringing back some memories from 2012. I was installing my first GPS, a GTN 650 and the conversation went something like this:“Wow! $9500 plus installation for a Garmin 650! That seems like a lot. What kind of indicator comes with it?”“None, that’s extra.”“What?! Can I reuse my Bendix King CDI?”“No, it won’t support the GPS function.”“What will work with it?”“A GI-106.”“How much is that?”“$2000 plus installation.”“Just for a CDI?”“Yep.”This is how you get snowballed into this.RUN MCMOONEY RUN!Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro 1 1 Quote
steingar Posted January 8, 2019 Report Posted January 8, 2019 I spent so much putting old used boxes in my airplane that now I can barely afford to fly it. 1 Quote

The labor was a little more but it’s an HSI not a CDI. 1 Quote
