With LAAS dead I see no way for you to get there. Unless you mean to
use
ILS.

Garmin has clearly announced that the GNS 430/GPS 400, GNS530/GPS500, and
CNX-80 will all be upgradable to WAAS GPS precision approaches before the
end of the year. The CNX-80 upgrade will probably be free and
software-only, whereas the 400/430/500/530 upgrade will cost $1,500 for a
hardware upgrade.

Do you have reason to not believe this is so? If the above does not
occur,
there will be an awful lot of surprised, disappointed, and/or angry pilots
at the end of this year.

I expect they will be disapointed if they are expecting anything better than
the VNAV capabilities listed for the CNX-80. Note that LAAS is defunded and
therefore WAAS will not be getting to CAT III.
