G3Xperts!
First time poster, long time lurker. Any chance you folks are working on a GTR200 version with Nav/Com for the experimental market? Remote mounted would be the cat's meow. I've decided I want to go with the Garmin G3X Touch system (Dual 10", Dual ADHRS) with at least a GTN625 GPS and the integrated Autopilot Servos and GMC 307 Control Head and GMA200 audio panel but that eats up all of my available panel space (I'm already assuming I'm going with a remote mounted GTX 23ES transponder). This seems to be about the only real hole left in your "experimental" lineup of products.
In Canada, we need to have a second discrete IFR Nav source (so upgrading to the 650 won't work for me as much as I would like it to) so was looking for something like a remote mounted Com/Nav source that could get me a radio and integrated ILS/VOR - ideally near the price point of the GTR200 would be if it had an integrated Nav radio like the GNC 255A. I don't have room for one of those even if I didn't mind paying $2K more than the GTR.
I'd go with the GNC 635 for its integrated radio but your discount for the GNC 625 when purchased with the G3X doesn't apply so that extra radio capability would cost me almost $5K - $6K for the Nav side which I'd love but can't use because of the 2nd discrete source requirements for Canada.
I've found remote mounted radios but no remote mounted Nav/Com - although Val Avionics has a separate Nav remote radio but I don't know anything about them and it doesn't look like they play that well with the G3X.
I'm open to any suggestions. I want the 10" displays because these old eyes need it (and I have to be able to see the Co-Pilot's display for redundancy). I guess that I could toss the 307 and put in a GNC 255A but I really like the ability to reach over and select the autopilot mode when things get busy rather than hunt around for menu items on the G3X and having the unit available if the pilot side G3X dies is a bonus too (question - could it still be controlled from the Co-pilot's side in that case?).
Thanks!
