This will be of interest to Steve Lin (Steve’s Post) and others who have asked about the status of the test installation of the engine monitoring package.
I asked ARNAV, and got an email a few minutes ago indicating that…
1] The prototype engine monitoring retrofit kit was successfully installed in an SR20 last week.
2] They hope to have details available at Sun 'n Fun.
3] They believe that Cirrus will be announcing its availability, pricing and procedures for coordinating the installation.
4] I should check back with them after Sun 'n Fun for status of “other upgrades to the ICDS”.

Mike.
That SR20 is domiciled @ wings aloft: a lease-back, I think. If you’re interested in the actual performance of the ARNAV Eng. Monitoring or any of its attributes, give 'em a call.
2] They hope to have details available at Sun 'n Fun.
Yeah? Which Sun 'n Fun. 2004 or 2005?

Yeah? If they don’t say something at Sun 'n Fun, 2001, I’ll buy you a beer. Heck, I’ll buy you a bunch. You do the same for me if they DO have info. That way, no matter what happens, we both win.
I have no doubt that they will say or publish something but keep in mind that this will be the FOURTH Sun’n’Fun in a row where Arnav will have a IDCS2000 with engine management displayed booth. It’s all talk until you can order it.
btw, I went through a similar issue in thinking about upgrading a King KLN89 GPS to a KLN94. King showed me a working model a full year before my local avionics shop could even order one.
