What a simply HORRIBLE instrument panel. A mish-mash of overcomplicated flat screen displays plus small, hard-to-read engine instruments. By the way, where is the fuel quantity gauge?
This photo does not tell you how it feels to fly a Cirrus, once flown forever smitten, its a glove!

I agree cutting up the panel like this is barbaric. The Prefered DME fit slaves off the selected VOR/LOC or ILS frequency and simply has a remote read-out next to the PFD.

There is no good ADF fit.

Avidyne do not support the input of the DME/ADF for display onto the PFD, however the PFD's RMI pointer behaves exactly like an ADF needle (but is using the GPS) so I guess it is best to have the secondary display readouts for the DME and ADF to cross check, as well as providing redundency and additional clarity..
