Garmin G3X EFIS Rebate - big $$'s
 

Hi All,

If you haven't seen it yet, Garmin has announced a new rebate for the Garmin G3X EFIS system - $3500 for the typical 2 screen system. Here are the details:

Single Screen system (no XM): $2000
Single Screen system (w/ XM): $2500
Dual Screen system (no XM): $3000
Dual Screen system (w/ XM): $3500

Here's how it works - simply buy a system from a qualified dealer and Garmin send you the customer a check directly. You'll notice the difference in rebate price just about covers the price of the XM (which is built in to the screen - no external module required). The rebate runs from July 1 - Dec 31, 2010.

Anyway, this coupled with the forthcoming giant display at OSH focused on Experimentals (and some internal happenings at Garmin) shows that they are now really serious about us homebuilders. Should be a fun OSH!

Cheers,
Stein

PS, sorry for the repost - me and my stubby finger managed to mis-spell Garmin on the first try! :)

Wow... big $$$ rebate cool!!!

Stein,
Any idea how long Garmin is going to run this rebate? I just ordered my fuse so I think it's a little early to lock in my EFIS choice.

Thanks!

Just as we send our big EFIS roundup story to the printer! Sheesh.

You've got until the end of the year...December 31st.

Are there any discounts on the GSU 73 ADAHRS units that you need to display PFD info on the screens?

Stein,

Just a thought...does the $3500 rebate for Dual screen (with XM) require that EACH screen have XM or does just 1 screen with XM qualify for the $3500? I was planning for only one XM screen in a Dual screen IFR configuration. Also, given this new program, should we expect a delay in availability of the G3X from Garmin between now and 12/31/10?

Thanx.
Victor

Hi Victor,

Here is the exact text from Garmin:

$3,500 Dual Screen System to include; GDU 375, GDU 370, GSU 73, GMU 44 and GTP 59
$3,000 Dual Screen System to include; 2 GDU 370?s, GSU 73, GMU 44 and GTP 59
$2,500 Single Screen System to include; GDU 375, GSU 73, GMU 44, GTP 59
$2,000 Single Screen System to include; GDU 370, GSU 73, GMU 44, GTP 59

I can't specifically comment on future avaialability (perhaps someone from Garmin will interject), but Garmin usually ships off the shelf with no lead time on their EFIS products...at leat that's been the case since it was introduced. I suppose it all depends on how many of these things get sold, I'm betting it will certainly drive up demand by some amount.

Cheers,
Stein

So what is the bottom line cost then for a dual set up of G3X with ems and probes.?

Good question. I've looked at numerous dealer sites along with the main Garmin page and no one has prices listed. Not that I'm buying, this stuff is waaay outta my league, but just curious about what these things cost.
