I have the same setup. What did you set the GTX to? I think it’s the data format you have to configure.

Both the Mini and the GTX have to be configured. We typically use the Fuel/Air Data Z Format as it includes some additional data besides altitude. On the Mini this is configured as Rate 9600 and Output "Fuel/Air Data (Z Format)". On the GTX this is configured as "FADC W/ALT".
