Default FAA MAY TAKE AWAY PANEL-MOUNT OPTION FOR PORTABLE GPS

Typically, in these types of installations, the power lead is "hard wired"
into the aircraft's electrical system...

The "wiring" comes with the portable GPS in the way of the remote

I think the big thingis they are going to go after the Air Gizmo panel

dock.

The antenna and power cables slide through prefabricated
"keyholes" in the back of the unit, which keeps the connectors
from slipping back into the panel when the unit is removed.

From what is written above, it would seem that there is no wiring
involved, other than threading the cables behind the panel. That does
have the potential to foul the control linkage I suppose.
