Crossfill, no according to the webinar.

As for the other I don't think so but don't take my word for it.

Brian, I picked up in the webinar that the 375 will cross-fill from an iPad running Garmin Pilot, but not from other apps (like FF). But I didn?t hear that it wouldn?t cross-fill from/to other Garmin panel-mounts. Might have missed it. Seems that it has Garmin-to-Garmin x-fill capabilities.

On the FIS-B and TIS-B issue, it did say there is some external capability. With both 429 and RS-232 data out, why do you feel it won?t send the data to the HDX or other PFDs? That?s a big one for me...hopefully the G3xpert fellas can confirm or deny. Fingers crossed!

Cheers,
Bob

They specifically said it won’t crossfill with other GTN or GNS boxes. I got this from 37:00 on the webinar and I think they mention it again somewhere else. It does support the Connext stuff which is kinda a different thing.

As for the other, I imagine to enable that, third parties would have to enter into some kind of agreement with Garmin and would have to develop the interfaces to be able to support these data streams. Garmin mentioned somewhere on this thread that even Foreflight would have a ton of work to do in order to support this box and they have already been supporting some of the Connext features of older products for some time now so they know how to work with Garmin.

As for if the other brands will ever support it, I don’t know but I would not plan on it in the short term. I also don’t expect to see Dynon or AFS or GRT doing much partnering with Garmin. If we do see support, it will likely come from reverse engineering the outputs. This is just my speculation and I have no facts to back up my guesstimates.

Garmin is making it tough on reverse engineering proprietary protocols by adding encryption and handshaking into the mix which makes it much harder to just sniff the wire or the radio waves and figure it out.

To be sure I would wait on the source to reply.

Brian,

Thanks, I thought you might have a time hack on it. I re-listened, and do recall that part of the discussion, which is a pretty honest discussion of what the GTN/GNS systems provide that the GNX does not. I also picked up a comment about various 3rd party interfaces not being available in the GNX that are in the GTN/GNS systems.

Was hoping my phased approach would work with any of the PFD options available. We'll see what the xperts say.

The only installation manual our local FBO avionics jefe could get his hands on so far is the TSO Install manual. It only discusses the certified interfaces, as Stein alluded to in an earlier post about interface lists.

Thanks for the thoughts and feedback!

Been playing with the 375 app on the iPad, and it's a pretty neat piece of gear.

Cheers,
Bob

Default Installation in EAB

Would like to know if I am allowed to do my own installation of the GNX 375 in the RV-7 that I am building.

Thanks for the information!

Yes, Garmin has allowed this exception for years for us experimental users and the feds only care about it being installed per the manufacturers recommendations (although never heard of them inspecting any installs).

Garmin?s policy in the past has been yes, but: you must buy a pre-built wiring harness from a Garmin dealer. After that, you can do the rest. I have not seen anything suggesting any change in this policy.

There is no such requirement.

Many have bought Garmin avionics without a wiring harness....

I think that is the PS Engineering policy, not Garmin.
