Do you have a ref that directs that? I know what the ACK install manual says, but that's just one potential ELT make/model. Case in point, look at any late model C-172 panel and you find the ELT remote switch way over on the right-hand side of the panel similar to, but higher up than the location the OP showed on his layout.

I would consider Avmap EKP V as an economical backup instr. It can do both: EFIS / EADI and GPS nav.
7" display, cradle, built in battery

You're going to want to make room for this. Thinking that you are going to pull it out, connect it, and put it away is not realistic. Plus it's a good way to access tons of specific engine data. I couldn't imagine not having quick access to it.

I use Flitecharts on my 696. ~$500/yr bundled with terrain and AFD, etc.
I've not used Jepp, so I can't opine on the differences in cost or layout. For the 696 there is a one time fee to Jepp, then you buy the subscription.

The difference may be that in the 172S the inertial seat belts allow the pilot to reach the whole panel, including the ELT switch. I know when I'm strapped in to my -10 I have very limited reach unless I loosen or unbuckle the belts. Getting to the circuit breakers on the right side is tough!

That's fine, and a practical limitation to be sure, but nowhere authoritative in the vein of "thou must" kind of direction. The Cessnas are just one make of production aircraft that do this -- Beechcraft and Mooney do the same thing to varying degrees.
Truth in lending, I mounted mine basically right in front of me above and to the left of my PFD so I'm arguing this point out of principle.

Door not locked lights.
The 10's are supplied with magnetic door pins and red lights illuminated tell you that a door is not secure. You really need those.
Best,

You don't need to use separate lights that come with the kit for this function as I'm pretty sure most if not all of the EFIS brands allow for user configurable annunciation of discrete inputs like door switches.

I could not find a reference, so I stand corrected.
