Garmin G5 HSI and Legacy Autopilot Question

[SJFlyer]

Hi experts,

I have a Century 21 autopilot installed with a DG (not HSI like NSD360) and a STEC-30 ALT for altitude hold.

If I replace the DG with a Garmin G5 HSI + GAD29B, will it gain GPSS capability if the G5 is fed by a Garmin GPS 175?

In addition, is it correct that I will need to keep the mechanical AI to drive Century 21 even if I replace the AI with another G5?

Sorry if this question has already been answered somewhere else.

I have a CIIB with a G5 HSI, the stock AI and and an Avidyne 550. I have GPSS, which I love.

So did you again GPSS capability from linking G5 HSI to Avidyne 550?  Or was your GPSS system installed separately?

The GPSS comes from the G5.

Great.  Thank you.  That answers my question.

Yes, I also have g5 with stec30.  The gpss is internal to the g5.  It’s really nice.  Before the g5, I had the stec gpss installed with the AP, but that was able to be removed when the g5 went in.
