AVIDYNE ANNOUNCES NEW LOWER-PRICE IFD440FMS/GPS/NAV/COM OPTION
New entry-level IFD440 provides a la carte pricing for added functionality.
Avidyne Corporation announced on February 1, 2016 that it is offering a new lower-priced IFD440FMS/GPS/ NAV/COM, starting at $12,399, including mounting tray and installation kit.

These capabilities are enabled as add-ons through separate activations. Previously, all IFD440s included wireless and FLTA/RTC at $14,995 + $650 for tray and install kit.
“Our new IFD440 pricing allows customers to get access to a new Avidyne FMS/GPS/NAV/ COM at an even lower cost,” said
