Hope someone else can help because I can't, sorry. The GPS you have is a car one and I have no idea on the pin connections, partiy, bitrate etc. of car units. I have only ever interfaced marine specific units to VHF's :schmoll:

Hiya, Thats a very similar Receiver to mine...BUT, it will (as far as I know) only work with a laptop, that has chart software installed, which turns it into a plotter, for use on a boat...and it works with Autoroute , to make your laptop work as a GPS in the car....its usually connected by USB ...but you have to try them first to see what one works...

Hope this is of some help to you...
