Somebody will get a good deal on my two G3X Touch displays that haven't flown yet.

Great news! I'm hoping the upgrade path isn't a whole rewire

 

[Kyle Boatright]

My hope is that I have the option to put the new whiz-bang gadget on the left side and move my single G3x to the right side.

A direct-to button on a large screen

The G3X already has that.

We can see two knobs, a usb-c port(?), and six buttons - three of which we can read: Direct to, Menu, and Back.

I also see a light photosensor (probably) between the menu and back buttons, so the screen can auto-dim or respond to ambient light levels.

I just hope it fits into my 10" panel cutouts for the G3X Touch...

I’ll upgrade IF:
-fits same hole
-no more than MINOR wiring
-100% integration with my current GDU 460
-less than about $6.5K
If so, my Rocket’s old single front display becomes my new back seat display.
If not, I’m drooling over the NIB GDU’s at fire sale prices.

I would not get too excited about that yet. Remember that the 430/530s held their value for years after the 650/750 was released. Its a free market so who knows but it is not guaranteed that folks will take a huge loss on newish GDU's.

I kind of like the game we are playing, but let's see what you've got!

It is an interesting conundrum. On the used airplane market, "The latest thing" carries a lot of weight with upper end buyers. So if you're gonna flip your RV-whatever, the new thing is probably very attractive. If you're a build and hold guy or gal, the G3X and "the new thing" could both be obsolete when the time comes to sell.

Should we now refer to you as the G4xpert ?
