My TruTrak EFIS died on me, and I'm thinking about using it as an excuse to upgrade to either a G3X or an HDX. I have a few questions about engine monitoring compatibility. I have tried doing some searches, but haven't really found the answers.
I have an EDM 830, and I like it. I would really like to keep it in the panel and also use the EFIS to monitor engine parameters as well. Is there any "passthrough" capability to the engine monitor modules from either Garmin or Dynon... or from the EDM 830 itself? (Can I send data from one set of engine sensors to both the EFIS's engine monitor module AND the EDM 830?)
From what I have been able to decipher from my own research, this doesn't seem like a possibility... but I am hoping someone knows for sure.
So, would I really be stuck with having to choose to see my engine data from ONLY one or the other? Or, is there a simple way to share the info?
If I want engine data on both, am I stuck running TWO sets of every engine sensor? (This seems completely impractical.)
Is it maybe possible to just split the wires for the sensors and send one to each?
