I ordered 2 AV-30s, the OAT, and the magnetometer, and am currently in the install process. My parking neighbor has a similar setup. I asked if he had the magnetometer and he said no, but he ran a serial GPS from his 430 to the DG av30, and it’s been rock solid using gps input. My intentions are to run a gps serial to the AI, and the magnetometer to the DG, but I’m betting it’s going to be overkill and I should have just used the 430 for both. Oh well…
I spent 4 hours today fishing the wire through the wing. It actually wasn’t that bad and I cussed less than I expected.
I’m currently updating my entire panel with 2 av30s, a 430, a gtr200 radio, and pma6000 audio panel. This all started because my 5th king 170 crapped out and I’m tired of replacing 40 year old radios.

It’s probably the “cheapest” new panel one could buy. I know the 430 isn’t new, but I’m hoping it lasts long enough to save up to buy an Avidyne.
