This is a good question for Jeff or Andrew at the factory. They usually like to install Garmin units, and for an added price, I'm sure that there is a Garmin bundle which might include chartplotter, radar & fishfinder using the same display. We chose to do that same configuration, only using the Raymarine C-70, and it works very well.
As for auto pilot, I don't really know if the factory has ever done that on the R-21. I am looking had at the Sport Pilot unit from Raymarine which uses a drive unit mounted on the helm shaft. But, again, a great question for the experts.

Hi,
When you order a R21 ask for a Garmin 740s with the radar, (tell them I suggested it (= ). I'm sure you will be pleased with the performance. This is a chart plotter, depth sndr/ff. Also request they mount the compass in the middle of the middle window shelf. You will need to have the compass "swung" to compensate for the closeness of the wiper motor, there will still be some deviation but not as much as if you do not have this done.

I ordered the Garmin Nav system that is available on the R25 for my R21-EC. It includes the 5212 display, GPS, RADAR, fish finder/sounder, and electronic charts. I love it. It sure makes cruising at night a breeze.
I did not get the autopilot. I read where a couple of people had the autopilot installed in their R21-EC. I assumed the factory did the installation.
