- Center stack Garmin components, top-to-bottom:
- GMA 240 audio panel (replaced with a GMA 245 on 12-Aug-18)
- GTN 650 GPS (for IFR, includes integrated comm and VOR/Loc/GS functions)
- GTR 200 comm (won't use its intercom)
- GTX 330 ES transponder (includes 1090 MHz ES ADS-B out)
- GRT products
- Dual HXr with 12.1" screens
- Dual adaptive AHRS, AOA, GPS WAAS and ARINC
- Engine Information System (EIS)
- 4 CHT, 4 EGT, OT, OP, FF, FP, MAP, CS
- Pitch servo, harness and bracket
- Roll servo, harness and bracket (purchased in late 2013)
- SkyRadar-DX for ADS-B in (978 MHz UAT and 1090 MHz ES)
The only panel item outstanding is the steam airspeed indicator.
For those of us working on our panels, I wonder if we are on the cusp of
changing technology. We may be the last group of people
buying these classic and very expensive glass panel parts. There are relatively inexpensive "ADS-B in" systems that also have integrated AHRS to use
with an Android tablet or iPad. I envision that experimental glass
cockpits are going to be just a little box on the glareshield that
is wirelessly connected to several consumer-grade tablets Velcro'd to the panel.
All for about $1.5k total. "ADS-B out" solutions are also getting less expensive. I really think we are the last people to spend $30k+ on our pretty
panels.
The GRT components have yet to be shipped. In the meantime, I've included pictures of the Garmin units to display what they come with as I had a hard time finding this information myself.

GTR 200 communications transceiver. The large white roll of wire on the left is not part of the kit. I purchased it from Spruce as the headset jacks in the -14 are placed behind the armrests, so the wires needed to be longer.
GTX 330 ES transponder.
GTN 650. The GA 35 antenna was supposed to be included, however it was not. I've contacted my supplier to resolve.
