Connecting to the Stereo Using an Auxiliary Audio Cable

If your Garmin Speak™ is not connected to the vehicle stereo using a Bluetooth® connection, you can send the Garmin Speak audio to the vehicle stereo using a 3.5 mm stereo auxiliary audio cable (not included).

NOTE: For the best audio quality, a Bluetooth connection to the stereo is recommended, when available (Connecting to the Stereo Using a Bluetooth Connection).
  1. Connect one end of the cable to the 3.5 mm audio output jack on the Garmin Speak power cable plug.

  2. Connect the other end of the audio cable to the auxiliary input jack for your vehicle stereo.

    This jack may be labeled AUX or Line In. See your vehicle owner's manual for more information.

  3. From the Garmin Drive™ app, select an option:

    • During the initial device setup, select No when the app asks whether you currently use Bluetooth technology to connect your smartphone to your vehicle.

    • After the initial device setup, select Settings > Garmin Speak > Audio, and verify Garmin Device is selected for each audio type.

  4. Set the audio source for your vehicle stereo to the auxiliary input.
