Lazybones,

Use of an a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFD's Autopilot Controls feature requires that a compatible autopilot be interfaced to the MFD via SeaTalkng as a direct spur or via a SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converter. As such, should one opt to interface a S3G autopilot course computer to an a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFD via NMEA 0183 communications, then the a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFD's Autopilot Controls features would not be supported ... instead, it would be necessary to use the autopilot's control head to command it into Auto, Track, or Standby modes.
