Pre-takeoff checklist
Trying to set up my 182 with an inexpensive setup for gps rnav, considering a trio pro pilot and gtn 650, haven't decided on a adsb out yet. Will any of those interface with my G5's or are they orphans.
Maybe....I have installed 2 trio pro pilots. Not familiar with the G5. If the G5 can output by rs232 or arinc 429, the trio should be able to follow it.

I tried to buy a GTN 650 but the local dealer would not sell over the counter, for garmin to use their paperwork in a way to ensure only their dealers install a unit I paid for and not allow my own mechanic's shop doesn't seem ethical to me..so I settled and bought a 530w for now. Perhaps I'll upgrade it in the future when I don't have to go through an expensive dealer.
In their defense, some yahoo buys a GTN, ends up screwing up the installation. Either Garmin support is forced to help clean up the mess, or worst, it fails at the wrong time due to incompetence and they get sued.
I don’t blame them for trying to protect themselves.
Yes, you may not be an idiot, but they can’t tell that by looking at your credit card. For example, reusing the antenna and coax from previous gps box, just to save a few $.
