Assumptions....
Approach loaded in 430 (note no w)
EFIS in heading mode (which commands heading and altitude)
AP (tt) coupled to EFIS
When ready, pull up soft keys, select ILS, and then respond to one warning.
Then when the you are close enough to capture the localizer the EFIS
commands the AP to fly the ILS.....
There are other ways to get there, but I am almost always being vectored to
the approach, thus the heading mode. If you are hand flying, then you would
have to engage the AP once the EFIS has captured the localizer and you were
ready to stop flying.

John - yes I have an SL-30 and G420W (GPS-no VOR) combo, so I have a little less button pushing on the Nav's than you do.
Still, at my home field (KLVK), I need to enter the ILS approach on the 420W because it's needed in case of a miss, in lieu of an ADF.
So my ILS procedure is: enter the approach on the 420W, enter the localizer frequency on the SL-30. Go to the autopilot menu and select "gnav" (if I'm going to have the 420W provide guidance to the localizer, including any procedure turns/holding pattern entries) or "Heading" (if on vectors). Select "ILS arm". Exit the menu. On the main EFIS page push "Execute".
The GRT HX does everything from here on except that I need to adjust the throttle to control speed (Trio will auto trim). HX puts final approach course in, scans all nav inputs looking for a localizer and, at localizer intercept, automatically switches to the SL-30.
