    Garmin G3X RS232 Question

    That also makes sense because I don’t have an antenna on the G5. The only antenna is on the GNX. (The course arrow only appears on the G3X when there is GPS signal). It could be that everything is working correctly now as you say, I just need either GPS (via G5 antenna) or MapMX to the G5. I’m...

    Garmin G3X RS232 Question

    Thanks man, I’ve scratched a hole in my head over this already. I’ve just searched all the Garmin manuals for a reference to splitting the signal and found nothing except for in the case of 2 G5s. I’m sure it will work as @will44s and yourself say it will, makes perfect sense…

No connection for NAV info (specifically) is coming through the can bus. G5 needs to connect directly to the navigator...

There is also 2 ARINC connections between the GNX and GAD 29. All LRUs are CAN connected. Everything works great. I’m trying to connect the G5...
