Garmin Aera 660 audio common ?

[Arie]

Good day RV friends
I am trying to figure out how to wire the Garmin Aera 660 audio output to a Garmin GTR 200 radio ,using the bare wire connector from Garmin. The bare wire connecter for the Area 660 has three audio wires namely “Audio Right”(white), “Audio Left”(brown) and “Audio Common”(green). However the Garmin GTR has the following audio input pins, “Music in Left “(pin19), “Music in Right”(pin 18) and “Music in LO”(pin 37). I can safely assume that “Audio Right” goes to the “Music in Right”pin and “Audio Left” goes to the “Music in Left”pin on the GTR 200. My question is ,what does the “Audio Common” wire from the bare wire connector from the Aera 660 connect to. Can I assume it connects to the “Music in LO” pin on the GTR 200 ??? I really have no idea ,as I have never heard of Audio Common before.

I think low and ground/common are pretty much the same thing. I will watch this thread as I plan to do the same - 660 to GTR200

Attached is Stein’s wiring diagram for connecting my 660 to a 205x transceiver that I think will help

The alert audio from the Aera 660 should be wired to one of the GTR 200 mono AUX inputs, not a music input.

Below shows how I have the Aera 660/760 alert audio wired to the GTR 200 alert input in one of my planes. It works great.

Similar in my -8. The Aera 660 works very well in almost every aspect!

What alerts are you most interested in receiving from the 660?
