Hi Brad, sorry for the late reply. Either data out wire - blue or violet would work. If the dynon and the garmain share a ground (a common ground block to the airframe), then that should be all you need.<br />
<br />
Be sure to set the serial settings for the wire you use in the Garmin menu just as Brenda mentioned.

You will also need to change the serial out protocol I think it is the NEMA. It has been a few years so you may need to check the reference

<p>Thanks for the info. I think the issue with Dynon data dump was that I did not install the software for the serial cable onto my laptop when I first attempted to download. That issue has been addressed, so hopefully when I get back out to ZPH, I'll not only be able to download engine data but also upload my custom checklists.</p>

<p>In regards to connecting my 296 to the D180;</p>
<p>I was able to find a "bare wire" version of the Garmin cable @ West Marine (Model number 7293707 for anyone who cares) and it was $19.99. I'm looking at the pinout diagram and was wondering if you recall which pin number OUT of the Garmin connects to Pin 19 IN to the Dynon?</p>
<p>According to the Garmin diagram;</p>
<p>Pin 1 (orange) Voice (-)</p>
<p>Pin 2 (blue) Data Out 1</p>
<p>Pin 3 (green) Data In 2</p>
<p>Pin 4 (black) ground</p>
<p>Pin 5 (white) alarm</p>
<p>Pin 6 (red) power</p>
<p>Pin 7 (brown) voice (+)</p>
<p>Pin 8 (yellow) Data In 1</p>
<p>Pin 9 (violet) Data Out 2</p>
<p></p>
<p>Obviously red will go to ship's power (via 2amp Circuit breaker, or whatever value is appropriate), black to common ground. Which of the remaining 7 pins did you connect to the Garmin?</p>
<p></p>
<p>thanks again</p>

<p>1 & 2 get the Garmin Serial cable. It has all the wires exposed, including serial, power and ground. Their connector doesn't come apart well, and the non-power pins are missing from the power adapter.</p>
