The GTX 345 Connext interface allows communication with apps (i.e., Garmin Pilot
and ForeFlight Mobile), while running on a PED. Connext works via the Bluetooth
data link to provide up-to-date, wireless information throughout the cockpit. Refer to
section 3.4 for Bluetooth pairing instructions. Up to two Bluetooth connections are
supported by the GTX 345. Table 6-1 lists the GTX 345 Connext features.

GTX 345 CONNEXT FEATURES
GPS Position and Velocity
•
GPS position and velocity information used by the GTX 345's certified ADS-B
functionality is made available to PEDs
.
ADS-B In Traffic
• ADS-B In traffic data that is provided to certified traffic displays is made available to
PEDs. This traffic is also combined with TCAD/TAS/TCAS traffic when the systems are
integrated during installation.
FIS-B Weather and Flight Information
• FIS-B weather and flight information that is provided to certified displays is made
available to PEDs.
Pressure Altitude
• Uncorrected barometric pressure altitude used by the GTX 345's certified transponder
and ADS-B functionality is made available to PEDs.
Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS)
• When the GTX 345 is installed as part of an integrated flight deck (e.g., G500/G600,
G1000), AHRS data from an AHRS source is made available to PEDs.
• When the GTX 345 is installed as a stand-alone device, a built-in sensor provides
AHRS data to PEDs via Connext. Attitude data is not output to other installed
avionics.
• The internal AHRS sensor is for use in fixed-wing aircraft only and is disabled in
helicopter installations. All internal AHRS functions are automatic and no pilot action
is required.
