It looks like FAA allowed this to be used as a primary attitude indicator (nothing more) even without it meeting the relevant TSOs (but it does apparently meet ASTM 3153-15 and perhaps some other, non-aviation specific standards looking at RC Allen RCA2600, which is a pure “glass” AI, it meets TSO-C4c, TSO-C113, DO-160F and DO-178B). That’s why you don’t need TSO’d CD player. It’s an entirely different matter when that something is supposed to fulfill some equipment requirement (like having an altimeter).

To be allowed to install something in an aircraft, you “just” have to demonstrate something along the lines of it not interfering or endangering passengers/ crew. It needs to be installed by or under the supervision of an A&P, and the finished job needs to be inspected for STC conformity by an A&P/IA. Aircraft owners who work on their own aircraft under supervision and approval with an A&P could apply this STC to their aircraft in that manner.” “The installation must be approved by an A&P. “Like any STC, installations must be signed off by an A&P. All EFIS products need an STC anyway, under FAA rules. Also there is no way to install it as a Minor Alteration, on say the RHS panel. What this does mean, AIUI, is that there is no way to install this instrument on any aircraft not covered by the STC. I don’t know what TSO specs apply to an EFIS product. Looking at the website spec I don’t see which bit might be noncompliant. They must have done this for a reason, because it is on the face of it a dumb way to make certified avionics. Samsung will obtain, or help you to obtain, a TSO for the CD player.
I would think a similar route might be used to develop an STC for e.g. they got a DER to do an 8110 design package and used that as the approved data to get an STC. It means they managed to get an STC without getting a TSO.
