I have a similar setup. My understanding is that the XRX needs a clear (unobstructed) view fwd (i.e. not “behind” the engine). I have not done any obstructed testing. Also FYI, I was having a hard time getting the garmin connection cable from Zaon. So I ordered a bare pigtail from Garmin https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=1083 for $27 and connected Garmin yellow to XRX db9 #2 and Garmin black to XRX db9 #5, Garmin must be updated to latest software, it works great!

Subject: Zanon XRX antenna position
I just purchased the Zaon XRX Portable Collision Avoidance System (PCAS) to add traffic awareness to my cockpit. With it connected to my Garmin 396 I want to move it (with its built in antenna) away from the recommended glareshield mounting. For those of you with experience my question is will the antenna work with it located other places such as below the glare shield or behind my tip-up roll bar or on my lap (as long as it is 6" from any obstacle)? It is a hard thing to test because it does not activate until you have climbed 200 feet and there must be another airplane nearby. I tried Zaon. They just moved their operation and, consequently, their technical service is down for a while.
