CO detector
That’s the sensor tied to the GTN harness.

The market is saturated with mid-priced CO detectors suitable for GA cabins and we’ve tested systems from Aithre and CO Guardian, to name two, with good results and with decent smartphone/tablet computer app interfaces.

The latest model comes from Garmin for interfacing with its panel-mounted avionics. Price at $550, the GCO 14 is simply a miniature sensor that lives behind the scenes, tied up in the bundle of harnesses that connect to the current touchscreen GTN Xi GPS navigators and also the GI 275’s electronic flight display HSI and MFD configurations, plus it can display on the Garmin retrofit TXi displays through the GPS navigator’s data stream.
