Charlie,
The installation is
dependent on all the other interfacing equipment, so it’s
not possible to ‘set the device up’ during a purchase.
Besides, I bought this unit used from Wentworth. The Garmin
“GTX35R/45R Install Tool (PN 006-A0271-01) is necessary to
configure the GTX345R to work with all other equipment. This
isn’t a sw update, it’s to configure it internally with the
ICAO codes, traffic out ports and formats, etc.

I’ve an issue that begs
solving involving the need to use a Garmin set up
program for the GTX345R (for Remote) transponder.
I should have just gotten the 345 panel mount
(since you can config it from the display!) and
just remote mounted it, but there you go. Since I
install and maintain all my own stuff, I’m not
finding anyone who will part with this software
item without difficulty. It is called the “GTX 3X5
Install Tool”.
Anybody have access to it
and can send it along?

What
does Garmin say? If I couldn't get the ability to set
up the device *with the purchase*, I'd consider it a
defective product and get a refund. Of course, I try
to avoid the G word if at all possible, just on
general (and specific) principles.
Not what I said. To repeat (with emphasis):
If I couldn't get the ability
to set up the device *with the purchase*, I'd consider
it a defective product and get a refund.
If the ability involves a particular piece of software, Garmin
should make it available. If I bought it from Wentworth, Wentworth
should make it available. If you can't configure it, it's of no
more value than a 'serviceable' engine that's missing the
crankshaft.
