So my 7A has a G3x Touch (10 Inch) and a GTN 650. I am an unabashed ForeFlight user, and I'd like to be able to load flight plans from ForeFlight into my panel. My G3x Touch is one of the earliest, and it needs some sort of module added to it to enable the full wireless suite. (I have the module, but I haven't installed it yet. That will happen with the Condition Inspection, shortly.)
My question... Do I need a FlightStream 210 for ForeFlight connectivity? Some of what I have seen vaguely suggests that one can connect wirelessly to the G3x Touch and push FF flight plans to the GTN from there.
As you may have guessed, I bought my 7A. I did not build it.
Incidentally, the panel is also equipped with a Dynon D6 (backup EFIS) and a PS 5000 (audio panel). I would like to replace them with a Garmin G5 and a GMA 245 respectively, so I can get the full benefit of CAN Bus integration. If anyone has sources for either of these at less than retail, please send me a PM.
Thanks,
-Michael
