According to them it should be easily added to a MFD via nmea2k. I like this idea as i can customize my screens to show critical items. You can also setup alarms on your mfd so curious how well that all plays together.
If the alarms come through as ECU engine alarms then they can be pop-up alarms on almost any display. If you configure "gauge" parameters on the MFD then they will only be displayed on similar MFD's gauges as warnings and not popup alarms. At least that is what I have found out with Garmin MFD's, including the GMI 20. An alarm configured as a gauge parameter on the GMI 20 will trigger a warning on the same gauge on the 1243 for example. Another FW update and that might change, but for now that is how it seems to work.
