Furuno 500 Autopilot signal

Can anyone tell me the color coding for the required GPS input into the pilot?
I'm replacing my Navnet screens but wish to keep my pilot.

What model GPS?

Hi,
I am using Garmin 7212's.
Thanks

You would be using the NMEA 0183 connection. Here is a link to the Garmin manual:

You might want to contact them for cabling information.

Yes sorry,I know the output for the Garmins,it's the pilot input i'm unsure about.
When i remove the Navnet screens i will have to cut the cable to the pilot and then splice to the Garmin screen.
Any idea on the wires/colors for the input to the pilot?

If you had original NavNet (1 or vx2) and you were plugged into port 4 the wires would have been yellow and green. Have you checked the input ports on the pilot? There are 2 ports for nav interface. See what colors are going in. There is a chance an installer might have extended using different colors.

Okay Thanks.
It might take me a while to tackle it,just getting ready.
Next time i'm down the boat i will get under and check the leads.
Thanks heaps for your time so far.
