I have a GRT EFIS with Garmin 430 and transponder, TruTrak Pictorial Pilot and altitude hold. I really did not want to wire that expensive stuff myself and run the risk of smoking them but I did want to set the panel up myself (cut the holes, wire the lights, pitot heat, etc.). I saw the advertisements for the Approach Systems wiring. I figured "this looks good." I was correct! Approach set up the wiring exactly as advertised and took extensive efforts to communicate with me when they had a question. I recommend them without reservation! http://www.approach-systems.com/ It took about 3 hours to have every radio wired correctly.
Most radios today are like computers that need to be set up to talk to each other. I needed a rocket scientist (Paul Dye) to punch in the correct info. Radios require correct wiring (Approach Systems provided that) and correct input/output set on the radios (Paul Dye). Everyone knows this but doing the wiring and setup were problems too far outside my comfort zone. It is GREAT to see everything working.
I hope this is helpful for others with my concerns about how to wire the radios.
