How many hours for the installation in a SR22 with DAU? And what about the EGPWS calls we will lose with the removal of the KGP560?

[gordondeweydir.ofmaint.]

Concerns I have for Clients in the past: Will Avidyne continue to have a maintenance contract for any maintenance with these, AND will the customers still be required to remove the entire screen to send out for a repair, since these new screens apparently still retain their ADAHRS within? This renders the plane unflyable, unless Avidyne supplies "loaner" units or Avidyne offers those PFD/MFD exchanges, via those annual or up to three-year contacts. AND, is Extant Aerospace still involved, since Avidyne sold out providing service for their legacy units to Extant Aerospace out of Florida, or is Avidyne going to provide support for their own products once again, or for a period of time, until Extant Aerospace is again chosen to warrant and provide tech services for THIS new generation of screens?

With the EGPWS system being removed, will your new panels have a TAWS inhibit switch on them? I tried switching from EGPWS to TAWS on my IFD540, but it gets dangerous since there's no way to silence the excessive terrain alerts when flying into (charted) mountainous airports. It makes it impossible to hear traffic/ATC during a critical phase of flight.

I love this panel. The GPS. If you have an engine over your head. Where does this item go?
