GTN 750/650 and Meggitt's Magic EFIS system

[c310rdriver]

Having problems with this upgrade. Has anyone else installed the GTN series with an existing Meggitt's Magic EFIS? If so, did you have a problem configuring the CDI selection (GPS/VLOC) on the GTN?

Thanks

I am new to the forum so I cant post links yet. So......The Meggitt's Magic system was developed by S-tec when they were a part of Meggitts (A british aerospace/avionics company I think). It was designed primarily for the twin turbo prop upgrade market. It was STC'd for Conquests, Meridians, Commanders and maybe some others. It consisted of a primary display, nav display, ADHARS and what became the S-tec 2100 (now Genesis Intelliflight 2100 autopilot) and associated autopilot hw. I think it was available between 2002 and 2010 roughly. I believe the system got orphaned during all the sales of Stec and Cobham. Even though the "system" went away, the autopilot is still in production and is a great digital autopilot.

I have no idea! I haven't heard a lot of positives about the Majic system, and I have a G600 and previously had an Aspen.
