Hi Guys,

I see on the new 5000 documentation that the transponder "should" be wired to the EFIS, serial port 2 to receive icarus altitude output - is this an absolute requirement due to the altitude encoding, or could another serial port be used? Does the altitude encoding cross to the MFD such that I could use a serial port on that to feed into the GTN/Navworx/327?

I see on the suggested wiring diagram posted separately in the forums that altitude could come off another serial, so wanted to make sure there weren't any changes with the update that makes this not the case - i have the AF-Pilot coming off serial 2 of the PFD

Of course I found this out after already wired, but I have the altitude wired into serial port 2 of my MFD and it would be easier if I didn't have to redo!

Thanks,

Phil
(awesome setup so far - dual 5600s, GTN650, GTX327, Navworx, AFpilot - they seem to play nice together - only problems have been self-induced wiring issues!)
