I am also curious about this.

I don't think you're going to like the price (it's a TSO'd unit for the certified crowd) -- looks like it retails around $8750. :eek: I'm sure it can be had for less, but not worth it IMO with whats available in non-TSO, experimental form.

It's a MD302 SAM. It is expensive, but it does have some features that none of the other standby instruments do, including auto dim, and the ability to sync baro setting with the G3X. When I change the baro on the G3X, it automatically changes the baro on the standby. It also pulls heading from the G3X system, and will have more features with future software releases. It is field upgradeable via USB port on the back.
