Garmin has mentioned several times recently that the current firmware in the G3X Touch only supports these new FIS-B products over Blue Tooth. No hardwired connection support "yet".....

Check out the bottom of this post: http://www.vansairforce.com/communit...60&postcount=1

This is likely why you are not seeing the new products.

Not normal. I would give Garmin a call and get that sorted out.

Hello Steve,

Page 293 of the current Rev. L G3X Touch Pilot Guide explains how to enable Automatic Reconnect on the Bluetooth setup page for a device that you wish to automatically reconnect at each power up.

It is always better to contact us directly for product support.

Thanks,
Steve

You are correct, after talking to Garmin support, they indicated that the new/additional weather which became available thru SW update v8.2 is available only on Bluetooth for the time being and not RS232. They indicated that they are working on making it available on RS232 as well but it may take some time.
So for those who have their XPDR (45R) connected thru hardwire, you can go to Bluetooth setting, and pair with the XPDR. At least in my case that I have a GTN650, I had to accept such pairing on the GTN for the G3X to connect correctly.

This should fix the issue of waiting for data for cloud tops and lighting.
