What would cause a Cessna 182T G1000 to show red X's on Manifold, Fuel, M & S Batt Amps?
It's pretty simple. If you want to avoid swapping out the GEA71 with a known good unit to see what happens, the way an airline would normally do it when they have spares on hand, you have to go ...

Where does the Garmin G1000 Nav ID come from?
Garmin doesn't explicitly state the method in the documentation I can find, but I believe the answer is #1. It decodes the Morse code and displays that value. I say that for two reasons:

How does the G1000 differ from an airliner’s avionics?

Understanding "non-WAAS G1000" in a 2006 Turbo 182
The GTR345R is a transponder that can be purchased with a built-in WAAS GPS (link)—which this one apparently has. So it provides the WAAS GPS positioning required for ADSB. The GPS in the transponder ...

Why is my WAAS equipped aircraft telling me to descend sooner than the FAF (KDVT 25L LPV)
The G1000 is correct. Just like you would on an ILS, once you have intercepted the glidepath you should follow it down. The altitude restriction at FEGEV (the final approach fix) and the stepdown ...

In level flight, it's natural to have some nose-up pitch. You need some angle of attack to produce lift that counteracts gravity. "Level" on the attitude indicator probably refers to 0 angle ...

Why do all trend vectors in the G1000 on airplanes indicate the status 6 seconds later? Why 6? Why not 5 or 10?
It's a graphical space reason.
Vertical Speed
The altitude tape shows the current altitude approx. $\pm 300$ ft. Therefore, the maximum trend you can show is $\pm 300$ ft in $x$ seconds, thus $300/x$ ...
