If you do the math, the quick panel is not that much more $, and is really a plug and play operation as far as the radios, ADAHARS, and switches. There is still a fair amount of wiring to connect all of your ancillary equipment (lights, fuel pump, servos etc.) to the ACM harnesses. The panel itself is a beautiful complete unit that screws right in place.

Bill,
Call Advanced and talk with them directly to see what they need to package together. Their dealers (Stein or Jesse Saint or others) may be able to help, but I am not sure if they are able to sell the ACM. Someone should be able to help especially if there is other hardware included.

Another option you may be already aware of is the approach fast stack http://www.approachfaststack.com/about.html It a hub for avionics and does not have the power circuitry and breakers like the ACM, but it does do the signal connections. The approach fast stack has been around a very long time, years maybe even a decade before the ACM.

I suspect you can't beat this deal, even if you do all the wiring.
You get to decide if you want HDX or AFS

I planned on asking this question next week at the show but why not throw it out there now. Since the quick panel can function with the Garmin navigators can it also use the new 175 that was just released?

I already sent an email to Ken Chard of AFS. He does their software programming. I told him that I thought the Garmin 175/375 were going to be wildly popular and that the quicker AFS announced they were compatible, the more AFS systems they would sell. Waiting to hear back.
