Decision made, proceeding apace.

All Avidyne, one mfr, no finger pointing, "That's the other guy's problem"

I like their 'open' platform, simpler, more intuitive I/O.

Lower annual cost for dbase subscriptions.

AMX240 Audio panel Bluetooth, wifi, playback of last recieved, isolate
550 NAV/COM/GPS AHARS/TAWS/FMS
440 NAV COM/GPS TAWS/FMS interfaces to 550 for I/O
AXP 340 Transponder Mode S extended squitter transponder

Skytrax 200 dual mode ADS B in traffic and weather
TAS 620 Trqffic Active interrogation, integrates traffic data w skytrax 200

GDL69 XM weather

Ifd 100 10.2
 
Don't forget the IFD 100 ipad software to allow the pad to run all functions of the IFD540/440 platforms. Simply the best system out there for my money, plug and play for the 540/440. A gps wass position connection for the 340 makes it easiest installation and least costly option out there. Good choice, Joe

Clean install
 
1 Attachment(s)
While initially thinking just to replace my "Ye Olde GPS moving map"
(no longer made, supported, or reliable),

I realized a completely clean install could

greatly simplify installation
be built and tested 'on the bench' (which it was)
not lose days/weeks(months?) trying to retrofit into various layers of 1990s harnesses,
assure 100% compatibility between everything,
make it all much simpler and more reliable going forward
eliminate the next thing that was going to fail or lose support

For example, my $5k installed L3 NGT2500 already no longer made or supported.
KX155 parts becoming scare/gone
KN62 parts also becoming scarce/gone

Looking at even the 'modern' point-to-point wiring,
I predict in 20 years

avionics will be boxes with
Power connector in
Ethernet cable to central avionics hub
Configure and communicate w IP protocols
RF antennas as needed
Update dbases by cell/wifi/satcomm - maybe position driven?

But first, a LOT of FAA dinosaurs and ancient standards will have to settle into the tarpits.
