    Looking to add the 335 to the Cirrus, Will it plug n play or are there differences in form factor?

    Sadly, Bryan, no.

    There is an installation burden for any ADS-B transponder.

    trust me....the wire up goes almost everywhere for the ADS-B transponders.

    Any other options that are the same form factor and just wiring harness changes?

    Also, @SixPapaCharlie, do you already have a WASS position source?

    Only other advice I can add is to walk over to Trevor and see what he thinks. Better advise is hard to find in NTx

    @bnt83 would know for sure, but could it also require an antenna, coax, or GPS antenna change? Not where I can look it up right now.

    Not really the case. I installed and integrated my own GTX 335 with zero avionics install experience and no help from outside sources except for the pitot/static and encoder verification tests. Research the heck out of the project and dig in.

    Maybe consider the 345 instead??? Traffic, weather, etc!
