Hi everyone.
If any of you have done, or know, of what it may cost to bring a panel like this to 2020 ADS-B compliant an capable of Precision GPS / ILS, I would appreciate your input. Keep the existing Radio as back up.
Thank you.

Using used/reconditioned radio and cheapest ADSB transponder, maybe $12 -15K. Can be a lot more for new/snazzy.
 
Little over 2k for ADSB in and out.

Probably little under 2k for a used King nav com and a head and install, if you're handy and you shop it.

Or get a new all on one

So 4k ish

Also look at where and how you're going to be flying before you worry about ADSB, most places won't need it for VFR burger runs.
 
Napkin math:

GNS430W (used) - $6500
GI106 indicator (used ) - $1200
Remote annunciator for 430W (new) - $600
Audio Panel (GMA340, used) - $700
GTX345 transponder/ADS-B (new) - $5k
Misc. parts and accessories (there's always some of this) - $500
Labor - $5k for all
Total: ~$20k

You might shave off a few thousand if you can use the new GDL82 with your current transponder.
 
When our club did a major update to the Bonanza panel, it was $40k-ish....

Started with: original panel overlay and sub panel, mostly original wire harnesses; GX60; KX155; older Bendix King Audio Panel; GTX327; digital tach; JPI Engine monitor; and a few other older odds/ends

Finished with what's shown in the photo and some very happy club members.

Work was done by Tech Aero at KDTO (Denton, TX) and we are very happy with his work and customer service.

The dude just wanted ADSB and to be able to shoot a ILS, not sure what glass panels, /G navcoms, audio panels, etc have to do with anything

He said he wants to shoot "Precision GPS/ILS". Precision GPS = LPV. LPV = WAAS.

Ah, missed the /G part.

Yeah, that's going to be a good bit more

Yeah, 4K all in for ADSB I can believe.

It's $2020 for the box, and there isn't much to the install, especially if you already have a GPS it can tap into, I would not pay much more than $600 for the install max
