Yaesu FTM-400DR for APRS tracking and messaging?

Has anyone thought about installing an YAESU FTM-400DR in their plane for APRS tracking and messaging? Looks like you could get tracking and messaging all in one box :eek: Thinking out loud, could you wire one to your Garmin 340 audio panel and use the radio?
 
I've used Kenwood's TH-D72A when fling in other people's planes. I have the "Granda Special" from HOLA ("Howell Offspring Labor Antennas" a fine USA company :D)

I tested messaging once or twice while stationary at ZERO AGL, but the workload was too great to even walk-and-message at the same time :eek:
