I completed the installation and flew an ADS-B validation flight yesterday. I'm glad to say everything passed "in the green" and qualified for the $500 FAA rebate.
Traffic and weather display on both the GNS430W and iPad. Sweet!
RV-7A
Dynon EFIS-D100/EMS-D120, pressure altitude source
Garmin GNS430W, position source (updated to v. 5.30/5.00)
Garmin GTX345, ADS-B In/Out (replaced original GTX327)
Installation consisted of replacing the transponder tray and connector, adding an ARINC cable and audio cable, and configuring the communication setup.
No extra modules to mount. No extra antennae to install. No extra cables cluttering up the cockpit. No question about future manufacturing support.
Final cost after the FAA rebate and selling off the GTX-327 and Stratus 2 and doing my own installation is about $2700.
