I'm wrapping up my left wing (QB version). I ran the wires for the ADAHRS harness per instructions, but not sure what to actually do with them.
I'm planning on using full G3X system, and my understanding is that ADAHRS for these units mount on the back of the displays. So no need for ADAHRS in the left wing. I'm also planning to use the newer/smaller magnetometer (GMU 11) and based on prior threads and advice, will probably put this in the right wingtip (possibly left, but heated pitot is in left wing and I understand this has some risk of interference with magnetometer).
For now, I just tie-wrapped the wiring bundle and shrink-wrapped the d-sub pins in the harness to protect them.
I'm interested in others thoughts on a number of questions:
1. Use Garmin GMU-22 and mount in the ADAHRS location left wing? Issue here is that power wires to the pitot tube run through a conduit that's very close to this location.
2. Re-purpose the wires and molex connector? (Can't really think of anything that might work except OAT probe: there's already a hole in this location for that).
3. Possible issues with the d-sub pins shrink-wrapped (as a bundle, not individually)? This will obviously create "shorts" across pins in the molex connector but if unused I assume it won't be an issue).
Any other thoughts/suggestions/experiences much appreciated.
