General aviation’s newest and most advanced NAV/COM radio is pilot-friendly by design. That’s because we consulted pilots at every phase of a development process that started with a blank CAD screen and ended with the creation of a groundbreaking new radio for the 2020s and beyond. The BendixKing KX 200 is an easy direct replacement with the same footprint as your current KX 155/165 radio. But that is where the similarity ends. The KX 200 features:
BendixKing Makes Upgrading to the KX 200 Easy Moving up to the KX 200 couldn’t be easier, since it’s a direct replacement for your current KX 155, 165 and can substitute other radios using the same tray and connector. That also means the KX 200 is compatible with existing equipment, which reduces both cost and aircraft downtime during the conversion |

Per BendixKing: Yes it will, that is the beauty of direct replacement, it will work with all existing components.
No, this is an analog radio and cannot interface to a digital glass panel.
Yes, this will come with a tray as well.
Yes, this will work with the KX-200 but it will have limitations on its capabilities.
No, it will not replace a KX-175.
These are expected to begin shipping at the end of Q4 2023.
