Today's work will continue on the installation of the wiring for the Dynon SkyView. Also as I am installing ADS-B receiver option, so I will work on that as well.

Step 1: NA Garmin tray has not yet been installed.
Step 2: Install the Skyview ADS-B Brackets to the Garmin Com Radio Tray.
Builder's notes: The Brackets are not the same! Also make sure you install them with the correct orientation. It took me a couple of tries to get it right.
Step 3: Install the ADS-B Receiver using the hardware called out by Van's Aircraft.
Step 4: Connect the 9 pin connector with the WHITE label to the ADS-B Receiver. Then route the harness through the cushion clamp near the cooling fan and connect the BLUE labeled connector to the Control Module.
Step 5: Connect the ADS-B antenna to the receiver.
This completes page 53-04.
