6.4 Unit Installation
Fabrication of a wiring harness is required. Sound mechanical and electrical methods and practices are
recommended for installation of the GDU 37X. Refer to Section 2.3
for wiring considerations, and to
Section 25.3
for pinouts.
Connector kits include backshell assemblies. Garmin’s backshell connectors give the installer the ability
to quickly and easily terminate shield grounds at the backshell housing. The instructions needed to
assemble the backshell connector w/Shield Block grounding system are located in Section 24
.
The GDU 37X rear connector (J3701) is electrically isolated. For installations using
shielded cables, a ground pin must be tied to the connector shell (Figure 6-3).
