According to information I have found the equipment does not need to have an actual TSO, it needs only needs to meet the standard required for the TSO.

It meets the TSO specs but is for Experimental aircraft only -

As a remote-mounted transponder, GTX 35R makes installation easy, saves you valuable panel space in your experimental or light sport aircraft and integrates seamlessly into your flight deck. Manage squawk code entry and transponder control with only a few touches of your G3X series flight display.
Easy enough to check. When you sign up for the rebate you have to choose what equipment you're installing from a pull down list. If it's on the list it is approved.

Actually both the 35R and 45R are fully TSO'd units.

That's the rule to install it in an EAB. But only TSO's equipment is approved to get a rebate. I cannot explain the logic here.

The 35R is in the list and the only thing I have left to do is wait for the rebate check to show up in my mailbox.

Good to hear... their web site does not mention TSO in the press release -

http://newsroom.garmin.com/press-rel...-experimental-

And the data sheet just uses the word "compliant"...
