Wing wiring grumbling

I have said it before but here goes again. It would be nice to know what the wiring intentions are for the supplied looms.
So far the outboard end seems to be tip lights, then landing/taxi lights. Then on the left side a hook up for Garmin products (which is absurdly biased and unprofessional on Vans part). Then inboard near the outboard end of the tank is a connector that I am not to sure about. And lastly, there is no apparent routing for the fuel sensor through the wing main connector.

I will be repurposing the Garmin connector to feed products that come from companies who practice civil and courteous customer service.

I have had nothing but "civil and courteous customer service" from Garmin for a decade...
 
I have had the exact opposite experience and have several clients who have experienced the same.
Interesting.

We’ve been using certified and experimental Garmin products for years, including two flight schools and many other EAB builders. Never had a problem.

I will say that the flat rate repair can either be a winner or loser depending on what’s wrong with the unit but have always had good experiences with customer service…
