WTB: Aera 660 bare wire cable

I’m hoping someone has one of these collecting dust on the shelf
I would like to drive and older trutrak with it via rs232

If you cannot find a 660 bare wire cable you can cut open the pre built cable that connects the GDL50 to the 660 and wire it up (available on Spruce and other vendors), the colors in the cable do not match the connection diagram in the 660 documentation but I buzzed them out and used this approach on my Champ. I can send you the color/connection data.

I have a couple of new and used bare wire connectors...send me a PM.

I would like to have the diagram for the cut open cable (GDL50), Thanks

Attached is a PDF of the wiring colors of the standard Aera 660 cable Part # 011-03854-90 that provides 12V power and Audio Out.
For the cable that connects the 660 and the GDL50 (Part# 010-12373-02) the wires and colors are as follows (these are the wires that go from the multi connector that has the GDL50 connector, the audio out, and the cigarette lighter 12V input back to the Aera 660 connector):
Audio Tip (left channel) ...Orange, Audio Ring (Right Channel)...Blue, Barrel (Common Ground)...Brown.
GDL50 RS232 White/Green...TX, connects to the Aera 660 RS232 RX2 White wire
GDL50 RS232 Green...RX, connect to the Aera 660 RS232 TX2 Green wire
Red is power
Black is Ground
I assume that the Blue wire is the Aera 660 RS232 TX1 and the Yellow wire is the Aera 660 RS232 RX1 which seems to be the normal Garmin protocol for these cables but I did not test that.
I dont know why these wires are different colors than the bare wire cables but they are working on my Champ.
Hope this helps.

Dave, the cable 011-03854-90 that you mention as the Garmin 660 cradle mount that has 12vdc and an audio output jack sounds like part 010-12373-00, but in the original comment you mention "you can cut open the pre built cable that connects the GDL50 to the 660" and that's a 010-12373-02 which would make sense because it has data wires to the GDL connector. The only place I could find 011-03854-90 was on eBay, I couldn't find any other store using that number.

I want to be sure that I understood correctly. The cable you cut is the 010-12373-02 and not the 010-12373-00, correct?
