The Vans standard (Ray Allen) electric trim option is made to fit. Easy peasey. Works with most if not all glass panel systems. Dynon supports auto trim with it.

I have Dynon Skyview with two axis auto pilot. Have a manual trim and it works perfect. Skyview occasionally will tell you to trim up/down.

And if you do go Dynon, the auto pilot will trim the plane for you while in AP mode.

Recommendation... "Get it". It's also lighter than manual trim.

It's so nice to trim with two buttons on the control stick, when the AP isn't calling the shots. I went with the Ray Allen G205 grip:
