I presume you're referring to Dave Luff's KLN89b code. This worked in the 0.9 / 1.0 era, and while no-one has actively broken it (indeed, myself and Tim Moore at least have done various pieces of work solely to keep it alive), I regard it as unmaintained and unused code. Every time I've asked here or on the forums about people using it, I get a negative response. In the medium term, my plan is to completely replace the KLN89 code with the generic GPS instrument (combined with an extended route- manager) but that's a six-month or more project, and stalled until the second week of March. So for the moment, there is no explicit reason (that I'm aware) of why the KLN89 doesn't appear in the C172, but I would expect some (hopefully minor) issues with getting it to work as originally designed.
