Given that the panel was "hacked" by the same outfit that made the poorly
kludged aux tank system (a system that clearly does have a major design
flaw) and gave you the bogus operating instructions, I am far more
suspicious of them than Garmin.

That is reasonable. With the fact that Mr. Rhine was operating
portable equipment on the flight, there is potential for some
interaction there too. And it's reasonable that a small metal shaving
produced during the Garmin installation may have been dancing on a
circuit board someplace.

Clearly we don't have enough facts to reliably diagnose the cause of
the infinite reboot, but I am thankful to be made aware by Mr. Rhine's
experience of the utterly unacceptable situation that is caused when
the Garmin system becomes inoperative.

Ah, it all boils down to interference with his cell phone!

This is rather grasping at straws. The most obvious and common cause
of multiple reboots is bad software design.
