Thanks for the info...
I currently have a G5, GMU 11, GAD 13, AP/GMC 507, and Aera 660 in my 8A. If I were to add a 460 or 470 to my existing setup, what would be required besides the GDU and the connector kit? Could the 460/470 be used as the GPS to drive the AP or would the 660 still be required? I'm still trying to wrap my head around the capabilities as I try to finalize the layout for my next upgrade.
I'm pretty happy with the capabilities I have now...what I really need is a new/better engine monitor. Any chance of a G5/GEA 24 engine monitor in the near future?

Hello Bill,
The G5/MFD w/EIS type of installation described above requires one of the GDU 450/460/470 displays.
You can always install a standalone GDU 37X MFD with single/dual G5, and it can even be a VFR navigator for the G5 autopilot (like an Aera portable), but it can't have EIS capability without the other basic G3X components.
Let us know if you have additional questions.
Thanks,
Steve
