There's a note on the TDS Discord from last week that they are working with Blackbox on TDS GTN integration

Let's hope so, but I couldn't find the note on Discord...

After I contacted Blackbox they confirmed the TDS will be available in an update...

For those who were waiting for TDS GTN support - Looks like it should be out now. From the TDS GTN Discord:

The Black Box Simulation Islander BN2T Turboprop has been updated to fully support the TDS GTNXi Pro in the GTN750Xi configuration in conjunction with the custom programmed and highly realistic GI-275 ADI and HSI!

The GI-275 ADI and HSI of the BN2T are highly advanced and based on the Workign Title G3X, the TDS GTNXi Pro or TDS GTNXi Pro Upgrade are required for correct functionality.

As the GI-275 ADI and HSI are based on the Working Title G3X, you will require the TDS GTNXi Pro or TDS GTNXi Pro Upgrade for full GPS integration between the units.

Make sure to install the BN2T V1.0.3 TDS GTNXi patch from Black Box Simulation for the TDS GTNXi Pro to show up.

Yep.  It works and it works well with the TDS GTN750xi or GTN750xi Pro.  I was a tester prior to release so I can say that with confidence.

What an interesting plane. Never heard of it before.

Very tempting.

The dealbreaker for me are the engine sounds. When I'm flying a turboprop, I want to hear that special mixture of growling propeller and whining gas generator, but on the videos I've seen, the BN-2T sounds very bland. I was surprised by this because I have the regular (piston) Islander and find its engine sounds very satisfying - definitely in the top three of piston engine sounds in my book. Ah well...

Same problem here. I posted about this on the MSFS forums about an hour ago. The developer stated that I had to do a full uninstall before installing the new version. I just bought the aircraft recently, so I never had 1.0.3 installed. It seems to me like is has something to do with the TDS patch.

Yes, there is a new patch 1.0.4 Tds available. It should fix the problem.
