I am hoping Steve (G3Xpert) will see this and chime in. Would also invite others who have made this change. And, of course, Stein is always welcome to comment!!!
My questions about upgrading from the G3X Non-touch to Touch have to do with the potential additional wiring and the configuration (3 display system; PFD1, MFD, PFD2).* Can anybody please confirm or comment on each of my questions?
1. For the Touch system to work just as my non-touch system did, it appears there is no additional wiring needed.* Correct?
2. If the configuration module does not have to be changed in the PFD1 connector, I should not have to reconfigure the G3X.* Otherwise, I should capture my current configuration so I can reconfigure after the new config module is installed. Correct?
3. Additional wiring is required only if I desire to upload flight plans from Foreflight to the G3x to my GTN650.* It appears, from page 27-40 of Rev AM of the install manual, that I would require an additional connection between PFD1 and the GTN, per the CONNEXT interface in the diagram. Correct?
4. The only configuration change I would need, if I added the additional wiring as in question 3 above, is to set the PFD1 RS-232 channel to "GTN CONNEXT*2".* Again, from what I seem to be getting from the manual. Correct?
5. If you have gone through this process, were there any surprises you encountered that you want to pass along?
I think I have this but, without step-by-step instructions, and with having to rely on a large and somewhat technical install manual, I would just like to up my confidence level to 100% before I start the process.
Thanks in advance!!!!
