If anyone ordered gdl82 with wiring harness from aircraft spruce , check your harness, the one I got was wired wrong, the power was in PIN number 1. The complete harness is wired wrong. I called them and they said oops, and want if I wanted another harness. I just made my own

That's Comforting. I pick up half of my entire Garmin system wiring harness tomorrow morning. Gizmo, was your harness assembled in the last two weeks, since they began working in their new shop? I postponed my work until they got into it. I had concerns about being one who has their harness made in a brand new operation.

Also, the photo on line that I pulled up showing the connector has the pins miss numbered, if you look at the center row of pins, they are off set in the wrong direction no matter if you are looking at it from front or back. You can not tun the connector to match the real connector

Also, I replace my pins, there was more than 1/16 bare wire showing after they installed the pins in the connector. I think steinair would be my pick if I was going to have someone else build my harness. I am sure A/S will make it right if there is any issues, but I outdo pull up pinout for all your avionics and check locations

Good catch, I just finished my GDL-82 install but did my own wiring. Next step is to connect it to the ACK E04 that showed up yesterday.
