It may be a budget buster for some I can agree but just to set the record straight; all of the componetry including the AHRS, Air Data Computer, GPS, Radios, Encoder, Transponder, Audio Panel, etc.. still carry their TSO, both hardware and software....which is part of the reason for their price point. Garmin does not provide non certified hardware for the G900x. I confirmed with extremely reliable sources (authorities in Brazil) that in Brazil it is accepted by the authorities as acceptable for IFR and in fact many of them have been installed in experimentals and certified for IFR in Brazil as is the Aspen, G500 and a couple other much more expensive systems.

Anyway, we're still trying to find a good solution!

Cheers,
Stein

Yep,

I placed my order with Stein, including the VP200, and was diplomatically told to "hold off on the VP200 and harness".

Apparently the VP400 is coming out, now have to figure out whether to run all of my wiring now and make the harness in place, anticipating the -400, or whether to wait. I had planned on using the premade harness with the-200, but if there are any production delays, I don;t want to get really far behind on airframe wiring...

The same problem to me... my plane will be ready on march and I doubt VP-400 will be ready. So, there is a temendous chance to give up on this and go with JPI EDM-930, or VP-X. Wrong company marketing strategy, VP! But Marc did not give me any date or at least a month in wich the VP-400 will be for shure on sale...

No news about VP-400, Phil? Is there an option to VP-200 besides VP-X?

Not yet, but Marc is getting my interest up!!

Given that my actual time to complete a task is usually 3x greater than my estimated, the VP-400 debut will probably be before I'm ready for it.

I'm proceeding with my panel, anticipating a -400 display in the lower pedestal of my aerosport panel. Will finish up a bunch of pending work. If I get close to estimated release will wait for premade harness, otherwise will start my airframe wiring and make the harness myself...

But how may I leave a panel space for it if I don´t even know its size and cabling needs?

I'm betting that the new display will still fit in the lower pedestal location, so if I get that far, I might terminate all my airframe wiring to that point. I won't drill out the instrument panel blank until I know the specifics. The panel blank in this location is quite large, and I have no other plans to locate anything there...
