Looking for someone how has installed an IDF540 in a Cessna Citation CJ2 Jet.  
I just replaced my dual Garmin 530s with dual IFD540s and have found a nagging issue with the map display on my Collins Proline 21 displays (all 3).  Intermittently losing the map display for 1-5 seconds. 
All configurations and setting have been checked and re-checked.  Cessna has also verified CSU card settings independently to Avidyne and Cessna factory specs.  Wiring has been triple checked.  Is this just the way it is?  If so, I'll have to pull the units out before other problems crop up.

There have been several successful installations in Citations.  I'd suggest a conversation with tech support, but I would also try different 429 output settings beforehand just so you have more info.

That said, we did find an error in the 429 output that could cause some graphics words to be included when a non-graphics interface has been selected.  It's possible that the Collins display isn't happy with the presence of those labels.  That error has been fixed and will be available when 10.3.2.2 is released.
