Yes, I know this is a long shot - but is is it possible to link the Nav source of a Garmin G3X Touch unit to a King KN-53 Nav radio for Nav/Glideslope input into the G3X?

The King KN-53 is an older analog NAV unit.
It can not communicate with the G3X because its digital.
The G3X uses CAN-bus, ARINC 429 and/ or RS 232.

There are no Arinc 429 outputs on a KN53, therefore it can not be connected to a G3X system.
