David_H Posted April 22, 2019 Report Posted April 22, 2019 Does anyone have any install times being quoted for the GNX375 or GPS175 that they can share? Is there going to be much install time difference between the two models? Quote
Arthur Posted April 22, 2019 Report Posted April 22, 2019 I am in South Florida. I have asked four shops for prices and quotes on the GNX375. I have had no response in a week from any of them. I called Garmin support to find out if they had any ideas and I asked the supporter what the in stock supply was as I suspected that might be the problem. He said it wasn't his area of expertise but he would try to find out. After a few minutes he said their in stock number was 0. Quote
Arthur Posted April 22, 2019 Report Posted April 22, 2019 Thanks to your prodding I just got off the phone with Garmin. They now tell me there are no back orders on the GNX 375 and it is shipping the day it is ordered. 1 Quote
Ross Taylor Posted April 23, 2019 Report Posted April 23, 2019 I've got a GNX 375 scheduled for installation in June, with an estimate of 16 hours. This is in a '66 E model with an old Garmin 150XL. There were some prerequisites in that (a suitable CDI and that other equipment is compatible), but it seems quite reasonable. Quote
Davidv Posted April 23, 2019 Report Posted April 23, 2019 Sarasota Avionics quoted me $11K with $4K on the install labor for a 375 (replacing KLN-94 and KT-76A). 16 Hours seems much better! Does that include integration with your autopilot ect...? However, it looks like they are discounting the device by $1K off MSRP so maybe it's an effective $3K install at MSRP. Quote
David_H Posted April 28, 2019 Author Report Posted April 28, 2019 (edited) For any that are interested, I received a quote for a 375 install that includes the following: GNX375, GA35, GAE12, GPS/NAV Switch, KI209A, KN75, and removal of KT76. The quote was given as a final installed cost. To better understand the costs I did a simplified cost analysis to understand what the costs likely were. The figure below shows the analysis results. The shop could probably care less if we said yes or no since they have plenty of ADSB install work scheduled. The overall estimate was $13,424.00.

AH-1 Cobra Pilot Posted April 28, 2019 Report Posted April 28, 2019 The estimate I received to install a GNX-375 was for $11,000 total with a flat fee of $3400 for labor. I suspect that does not necessarily mean 34 hours @ $100/hr. 1 Quote

Sarsota’s Quotes are always the highest. They say well Florida has no sales tax. That’s right, but it doesn’t mean they keep all of it. Quote

I've had very good luck with Treasure Coast Avionics at Fort Pierce. When I needed a GDL 88 installed and interfaced to the GTN, Sarasota wanted something like 40 hours for the install while Treasure Coast estimated it and came in at 24. Quote
Davidv Posted April 30, 2019 Report Posted April 30, 2019 Thanks @flyboy0681, I’ve actually already been in touch with them and received a better quote with more flexibility on the install date. It’s nice to hear that you had a good experience with them as well. Quote

She's taken very good care of me and everyone that I have sent her way. Quote
Davidv Posted April 30, 2019 Report Posted April 30, 2019 Yes, I have a feeling too much business is coming her way because I usually need to reach out a few times to remind her about ordering equipment/sending me an invoice, but she seems very good to deal with! Quote
DingyHarry Posted April 30, 2019 Report Posted April 30, 2019 (edited) I received a GNX375 quote from Sparkchasers at KJNX for $11,074.31. They also agreed to purchase the old Garmin 330 transponder for $900 bringing my installed cost out of pocket with antenna to $10,174.31. Edited April 30, 2019 by DingyHarry 1 Quote

I’m still waiting for written quotes from one avionics shop visit on February 28th and another from Sun n Fun. I’ve essentially given up hope of getting any avionics work done before next year. Quote

The ADS-B installs are certainly keeping the shops busy. Quote
nels Posted June 20, 2019 Report Posted June 20, 2019 What all is included in the $7995 price of the GNX375? Is it a full kit for install including tray and antenna etc.? Quote
Davidv Posted June 20, 2019 Report Posted June 20, 2019 I believe just the GNX-375 but I’ll also add that my installer charged me $6850, so $7995 is just the suggested retail. I also know that it wasn’t a case or moving money from the unit install since my instal hours are roughly 20. Quote
Igor_U Posted June 20, 2019 Report Posted June 20, 2019 (edited) From website of the dealer: "Comes with GA35 WAAS/GPS Antenna, Datacard, tray, backplate, connector kit and pilot's guide". Edited June 20, 2019 by Igor_U Quote
