Instead, use the 1/8" stereo plug on the back of the unit, just as you'd hook up a portable CD or MP3 player.

Of course you're right! I read it as "396" which sent me down the wrong path. Need to clean my monitor, I guess.Baja_Traveler said:Unless they've changed the design since I bought mine, the 296 does not have a stereo plug on it. There are only two possible connection points - the Garmin power/speaker connection, and the USB programming port.

mburch said:Okay, so based on that information: There are no audio terrain warnings from the 296, so you won't get anything even if you do finagle a way to hook the speaker output to the audio panel input.
cheers,
