Cobalt/ Dealer Installed Garmin

[BP621]

Hello, All-
I’m taking delivery of a CS22 in approximately one week. Purchased a model off the showroom floor and having some upgrades installed by the dealer, one of which is a Garmin GPS. Apparently this unit replaces the center gauge (tach, engine management data) in the three gauge cluster. I haven’t had much luck getting info on this arrangement- brochure/ web site not much help, no units equipped as such at the dealership. Anyone out there have photos/ info/ experience with this configuration/ installation? Thank you.

Congrats. I'm no help they didn't have fancy gps stuff back in 2003

Thanks, BBP. I wanted to go this route as it interfaces with the Volvo engine management and the install sounds a lot cleaner. The thought of carving up/ drilling/ installing on a post mount on a brand new dash doesn’t appeal to me at all!

Anytime. I'm here for moral support. Lol it will be good. When you get it make sure you go to the new member section and intoduce yourself with pictures. Congrates.

I can’t help you on this either. But I would assume it would look something like an r3’s dash with the Garmin

Tg98- The R3 looks to be “all glass”. I think mine will be a hybrid analog/ digital.

Look up a 2016 r3 they had a mix between analog and digital if you did the Garmin option.

I have a 2018 CS22 with the factory installed Garmin. It sits in the center of the dash. To the left is a gauge that is strictly speedometer. To the right is a tach with two little LCD displays that can each cycle through rudder indicator, trim, fuel level, water temp, air temp, battery power, RPM, and depth (and maybe a couple of other things).

Also, the Garmin will not be connected to the NMEA network...I had to do that myself.

You can sort of see it in this photo.
