Olly ....download the antenna wiring spec and then phone Garmin Support....they will talk you through the correct connection scheme

Why can't the bloomin manufacturer's just use a standard wiring colouration scheme....selfish buggers

Chart plotter green to white
Chart plotter white to green
Antenna red to the same power source as plotter.
Antenna black to ground

If that does not work:

Chart plotter green to grey shield wire (usually a bare wire)
Chart plotter white to green
Antenna red to the same power source as plotter.
Antenna black to ground


The second option is what worked for my Raymarine plotter using an SA320. However, the first option works on my DSC radion
