Default Fuel Flow Transducer & VPX

What is the general consensus for wiring the fuel flow transducer to the VPX? I have one pin left in my VPX Pro and trying to decide if it should be used for the fuel flow transducer or some other lighting etc functions with the fuel flow powered from an aux bus as described in the VPX manual.

Thanks

My Red Cube gets power from the Garmin G3X system GEA-24 engine and airframe sensor module. There is no connection directly from the VP-X to the fuel flow sensor, at least in my case.

I agree.. Engine sensor power is typically provided by the EMS box.

Thanks for the replies.

I see the transducer power and ground in the GEA-24 pin out now that I know.
