Garmin G5 TAS question

[Tcraft938]

I’m curious if anyone has had a G5 or two for awhile and has done the upgrade that will give you true airspeed, wind direction and speed?  My understanding it needs something like GAD 33 installed. How hard and expensive with that?   Thanks

Needs a GAD13 and a temperature probe.  

I am getting my 2xG5s next month, but opted not to do the gad 13 for now.  Already have a temp probe for my JPI and can manually enter data in the gns430 to get the tas & winds.  That being said, it would be a nice thing to have displayed.  The GAD and temp probe is on the order of $400.  Install gotta be a few hours.  Call it $600-$800 installed but just a guess.

My G5 and EDM900 are connected to an IFD 540, which then displays the TAS, computed windspeed, tailwind component, etc., etc., etc.   I don't know whether the OAT from the EDM900 can be passed back through to the G5 to display it directly there, but having it on the IFD seems fine to me.

Unfortunately it doesn’t “flow through” to the G5. That would be nice and seems possible, but no such luck.  I will have the same situation as you where the data is consolidated on my gns430.

man, I would love to have a G5 ADI (I have one for HSI)

Really ticks me off Garmin wont make it possible with the legacy autopilots.  CANT be hard.

Yeah, that's real nice.  I do like the OAT, wind and TAS display right there.  Just can't bring myself to stick another OAT probe on the airplane.  Look like a porcupine.

You must have a GFC500 autopilot?  The display at the top looks like a mini G1000 autopilot bar.
