Default GTN 625 Promotion for New G3X Customers

We are very pleased to announce a GTN 625 promotional deal for new G3X and G3X Touch customers.



This exciting deal gives new G3X customers the option to purchase a GTN 625 system complete with installation kit, data card and antenna for just $5495! As an example, customers can purchase all the equipment required for a core 10.6" G3X Touch with approach certified GPS capability for less than $12,000!

The GTN 625 gives the ability to file and fly IFR enroute, shoot LPV approaches and execute other GPS based procedures completely coupled to the G3X autopilot. Other great features include:
  • 2020 ADS-B Out compliant solution when combined with the GTX 23 ES or other Garmin extended squitter transponders
  • Take-off / Go-around (TO/GA) button integration with G3X, allowing you to automatically sequence into the missed approach procedure while remaining coupled to the autopilot
  • Fantastic Garmin Connext capabilities (read more about it on VAF here)

As usual, if you have any questions, you can get additional information by contacting us directly at g3xpert@garmin.com or by contacting your Garmin dealer.

Thanks,
Brian

So, is this just the GPS side of a GTN 650??

Why the price difference otherwise?

Correct, it's a GTN 650 without the NAV/COM.

No, this promotion is specific to the GTN 625.

Thanks,

This looked interesting, but the special rule requiring it to be purchased on the same PO as the G3X eliminated all the RV12 ELSA builders. RV12 builders have to purchase everything through Vans and this is not offered for the RV12 ELSA.

It's also seems to be a bit of a kick in the teeth to the folks who jumped on the G3X bandwagon earlier.

Yeah...

Would also be nice to offer something for the folks that want/need a 650.

Sorry but I disagree. Should a vendor have to back-date all their promotions? When iPhones show up cheaper 9-12 months after release should everyone get a refund?

There will always be a better deal. There will always be a discount a few months after a product is released. You got a great product, be happy!

I'm guessing this is an update to the previous policy that offered a GNS400W for $4K for G3X customers.

The GNS 400W has been discontinued, this is a similar deal for the (newer and more expensive) 600 series GPS.
