I know that one can route the Trim Position wires to either the VP-X or straight to the G3X and trim positions will be displayed on the G3X for either method...
Is there a preference for which way to go when one has both the VP-X and G3X?
Thanks!

Steve has a valid point about the 3 axis trim. Although I rarely touch my rudder trim. It's set for cruise and left alone for long periods of time.
I don't have a Garmin EFIS, so I can't specifically comment, but I can provide a question to ask to help you make a decision.
I have AFS and the flaps, elevator and aileron trim are controlled by the VPX. The position of all of them are passed through to the EFIS and displayed.
Does the G3X VPX software interface have the same feature in which is can get the position information from the VPX and display it?
I only have 2 Axis Trim, so no need for rudder trim position display.
So I wonder if the display of trim position on the G3X screen is the same whether the data is coming in directly or it's coming through the VP-X.
Sounds like the VP-X is the way to go since it's auto configured.
Thanks!

The G3X autopilot servos have built in auto-trim. If you or some future owner wish to use this feature it might be best to wire the trim through the G3X.
