Greg_D Posted April 17, 2020 Report Posted April 17, 2020 I'm trying to help out a friend who has a Garmin 696 that is hard wired into the aircraft's power supply through the panel mounted 430W. This allows cross filling flight plans from the panel to the 696. He also has a GDL39. Is there a cable that will integrate the GDL39 into this system? In the end, he is looking to have the 696 and 430W powered from the ship and allow cross filling from the 430W and get ADS-B data into the 696. I seem to remember that Garmin had a bare wire cable that would do this, but I can't seem to locate it anywhere. Quote
wishboneash Posted April 17, 2020 Report Posted April 17, 2020 Not sure if this is helpful, but my plane had a Garmin 430 (now upgraded to a GTN650) connected to the Garmin 696 which is panel mounted. I can switch the 696 between the GTN and the GDL-39 using a toggle switch. I can't recall the cable type or number used, but I could take a peek to see if there is any info printed on the cable.

Andy95W Posted April 18, 2020 Report Posted April 18, 2020 https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/avpages/garmindatapowercable.php He might need to get a bare wire connector for the 696 also. Quote
Greg_D Posted April 18, 2020 Author Report Posted April 18, 2020 He's already got the 696 hooked into the panel with the bare wire cable. Just looking to connect the GDL39 now and keep the crossfill working! Quote
