Russell, here's how it works on my G900 / Sorceror V10:
Change altitude bug on PFD, the change takes 4 long seconds to reach the autopilot. If you're in altitude hold, *there's no change to the main display* and you only see it in the "SEL" window where you can select the new altitude to initiate a climb/descent. If you're already in a climb or descent, it'll appear in the main display as the new level-off altitude -- very convenient.
Change heading bug on the PFD -- I've never seen the display change on the autopilot. But if you select "EXT", then the autopilot will track the PFD heading bug very nicely. Again, I've never seen the heading number change on the autopilot display, but then I was never looking for it; don't care as long as its working.
If you call me at work tomorrow 972 603 0780 and give me your phone number I'll go over to the hangar in the evening and give you a call back and we can cycle through settings.

I'm able to get barometric pressure to change but unable to get heading and altitude settings from the G900. I have tried every setting in the GIA page in the G900 with no success. Garmin & Tru Trac has tried to help me through this, unfortunately no resolution at the moment. I have heard that it does work but unable to reproduce it on my system. Has any of you done the upgrade to your systems and is it working? If so what is your settings and what did you do to make it work? Thank you for your help Russell Steiner N2AA legacy
