I just finished page 42D-22 step 3. The WH-P600 and P601 (ORN/BLK) wires that were run to each headset block on the left and right side are the power supply for the headsets. They are fused with 5A on WH-00026 and are connected through WH-P440 (ORN/BLK) to pin 17 (AUDIO POWER) on the Options plug.
The instructions have you cover the ends with a heat shrink tube and cable-tie them to the headset plugs. As Van's doesn't know what type of headset you're using, it's up to you to find a suitable plug for it and install it in the seat pan.
The wiring is definitely there and everything is set up to install the power outlets.

I think it can see through fiberglass but not aluminum. The 1.5 inches might make a difference. Remember, the original avionics had both a GPS antenna and an XM satellite antenna on that plate.

You are correct Bill, it won't "see" thru aluminum, I don't even like the extension, don't think it is enough to enable a really good view of the sky, needs to be higher and further forward. I am even thinking about mounting it on the inside under the canopy.

Skyview fuel gadge calibrated
On the skyview system I calibrated my left tank. What do I do about the right tank calibration. I get a warning that my right tank in not calibrated.
I could tell it that the tank holds 0 gal and then calibrate it with 0 gal.

skyview
I just found that the pilot and copilot ptt.sw. when using the wh-00036
harness are reversed between the wh-rv12-tunnel cable assy. and the
wh-00036 cable assy. that plugs into the av-50000a. Pin #3 of the
wh-rv12-tunnel is the pilot ptt.sw. which goes to pin #3of the wh-00036
where it is labled copilot ptt.sw. I found this out when trying out the
sl-40 radio. I could key the transmitter but no modulation,after checking
I found that keying the copilot ptt.sw. and talking on the pilot mike
avery thing worked.

In the EMS display setup, you can add and delete things to the engine displays. DELETE the right tank indication. You do this on the 100% screen. the 40%, and the 20%.

A big THANK YOU to you, Gene! You just saved me a lot of head-scratching and debugging. I checked my WH-00036 harness on the Fuselage end as everything else was tied up and installed. It sure showed the same discrepancy that you had discovered. Pin 3 was connected to the Co-Pilot PTT and pin 1 was the left seat's PTT. I swapped the pins on the Fuselage end and verified that everything worked as it should (well, just with an Ohmmeter at this point in time).
So, again, thank you, Gene!
Others that got their conversion harnesses should probably check theirs too as this is definitely not a single mistake. I might find the muse to check the protocol and see if maybe Van's instructions for the harness manufacturer are wrong.

Our PTT inputs were also reveresed between the Pilot and Co-Pilot inputs

Data point: Mine were NOT reversed and I got probably the 1st Skyview conversion harnesses shipped out. Incidentally, the replacement transponder antenna adapter cable (the short 11 inch one from the transponder to the previously-installed antenna coax) did the job - transponder now works! This cable is made by Vans, the one I was sent was shorted between the center wire and the shield. Check yours.

Checked mine after your initial post and it verified to be ok.
