The FAA has little to do with the cost of the in-aircraft equipment other
than the requirements for certification. (Which I admit are not
insignificant) Now look at the cost of say a AM/FM/CD player that is legal
for certified aircraft
http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/avpages/aicd3.php. The thing costs in
excess of $1500.

Low cost and FAA certified really can't be used in the same sentence with a
straight face.
