This is likely why you are not seeing the new products.

You are correct, after talking to Garmin support, they indicated that the new/additional weather which became available thru SW update v8.2 is available only on Bluetooth for the time being and not RS232. They indicated that they are working on making it available on RS232 as well but it may take some time.
So for those who have their XPDR (45R) connected thru hardwire, you can go to Bluetooth setting, and pair with the XPDR. At least in my case that I have a GTN650, I had to accept such pairing on the GTN for the G3X to connect correctly.
This should fix the issue of waiting for data for cloud tops and lighting.
