We pulled the IFD-540 out of the 195 yesterday to send to Avidyne for "rebuild" and yellow tag. The com/nav had a red X. We slid in the 530 that I had on the shelf that no one seems to want to purchase and, frankly, for the 195 it is more than sufficient.

The IFD-540 is for sale when it gets back yellow tagged, for $12,750. The unit and screen are blemish free. PN:700-00182-000, SN:M184339466.

In response to a PM. The IFD 540 is dual voltage. Avidyne designed it as a slide in replacement for the 530, but I was installed in the 195 as an original installation. It comes with nothing but will slide in a 530 installation.

Norman,

Thank you. That should make it easy if anyone is interested. If not, it goes back in the 195.

The response to this offering has been underwhelming. Buyers are staying away in droves. :thumbup:

Something tells me the aircraft market has turned. :lol:

Not that it help you sell your GPS, but a couple of weeks ago I was looking for a used IFD 540 to buy. I didn't find one, so I bought a new one. Too bad for both of us the timing didn't work out.

What's the street price for a new 540 these days? That could have an impact on the market? I love my 550. Incredibly intuitive and user friendly.

I miss the 540 I had in my Cherokee Six. This is a terrific price for a very capable piece of equipment.

Unfortunately, if I put a 540 in the Baron, I have to play Panel Jenga to make it fit and that makes it unreasonable from a cost / downtime perspective compared to sticking in another IFD440, or I'd already have sent you a check.

If that's the best price on new then John you've got it priced to sell. I'm one of those that believes a fairly new yellow tagged 540 is as good or better than new. It's had a brief trial run and check up. Barely broke in.

I wonder what a 530w is fetching these days. This is a great GPS, I had one in my last plane and miss it in my current T-Bone. Loading an airway the old fashioned way gets old.

Is there any factory warranty remaining?

Garmin makes great stuff, but the IFD540 is just better. If you are considering a GTN750 or 650 I strongly recommend you give the Avidyne a look. After a couple hours you won't go back. Especially for IFR.
