Hi AFS,
For the lack of a better description, I've noticed what seems to be spurious ARINC data. Here is a video (700 KB) of what I'm seeing (pls be patient - my DSL upload speed is just slightly faster than a speeding tortuous):

If you can not see the video, the flight director initially starts out all red. Then there is a brief moment of GPS data (magenta arrow), the flight director changes color to magenta (lateral) and yellow (vertical) for a number of seconds then changes back to red. Rinse, lather, repeat.
The conditions are as follows:
- Plane is stationary (in the garage)
- 430W:
- Powered on and fully operational
- CDI set to GPS
- No flight plan or "Direct To" loaded/activated.
- EFIS and ARINC powered on
- BRG and CRS sources set to GNAV1
- The "430W-EFIS-Autopilot-ARINC' touble shooting passes with flying colors.
Thank you,
