Anyone got any experience of connecting to their transponder care to share their experiences?

I have connected a GPS "mouse" to my Trig TT21 to provide ADS-B out. Works well.
Was simple to do but you do need to have the latest Trig firmware update.

Hi,
Like Tony, I also have a 'mouse type' GPS - in my case an American 'Byonics GPS4' successfully connected to my TT21 to provide ADSB out, though didn't actually wire it up myself. I have no experience of connecting the PAW to a transponder though.
Worth reading this thread http://forum.pilotaware.com/index.php/topic,201.msg2895.html#msg2895 .
As Tony says, the connection itself is fairly straight forward, though you may need a special tool to put the pins into the connectors. The pinouts are all shown in the Trig manual. If in doubt give Trig a call, they are very helpful and will usually upgrade your unit to the latest firmware FOC if needed.
Regards
Peter

No special tool required to put the pin in the Trig connector.
Just don't get the wrong hole as a special tool needed to extract pin!
My Trig TT21 supplier originally provided the interconnecting cable (between display unit and box of tricks). However the cable didn't include the wires for the external GPS connection but he provided those to me FOC.
My GPS mouse is a USGlobalsat BR-355-S4.
