Hi all, I thought about posting this in the Big, Bad and Dirty section but thought I might get more hits here.... I have a Quest II installed on my Ulysses, with the Garmin cradle and wiring. That wiring includes a headphone jack...but I can't get it to work. Voice prompts work just fine in the truck though, so I know it's not the Quest itself causing problems. Does anyone have a Garmin headset they can look at for me? I have a standard tip/ring/sleeve stereo headphone plug on my headphones (if you look at it, it's three sections of metal with two plastic dividers between them). My question is, does the Garmin need a 4-piece plug like the newer iPods? On the iPod, it's a volume control lead...can't imagine what the Garmin would need an extra conductor for, especially without voice-activation...but stranger things have happened. Thanks  | ||

I think I still got my earphone cable somewhere from mine, but I recall it being a standard 1/8" mini jack off the top of my head. I would have to find it to confirm. | ||

I just posted the install manual for somebody that needed it... it shows a pretty good picture of the jack on the back page. Looks like an old fashioned simple mono jack. I doubt I'll ever use mine. If you need one, PM me and we can work something out... | ||

I have never used the headphones on the Quest before, but i just tried it and it works fine. I have the regular Quest, not the Quest II, but I can't imagine they would work differently for this. I used standard earphones (3 ring plug) that I use on my laptop, older ipod, etc. I did notice that the beeps etc still come through the main unit and not the earphones, but the voice prompts came through just fine. | ||

aha. maybe I need to actually *go* somewhere then. I was getting keypress beeps out of the unit and thought that meant she no worky. I will doublecheck on my way to Essex tomorrow, see how it works. Thanks all! | ||

If you hit the speaker button, I think you will force it to tell you t he "next thing to do" with the voice. | ||

That was it. What we referred to when I was doing lighting/dimming system installs in theatres: EBCAC. Error Between Chair And Console. Dumb operator. Programmed it and used it to actually *get* me somewhere, and it worked flawlessly. Once I figured out that you push the speaker button and it forces the next item, but you HOLD the speaker button to get the volume control and turn it down from eleven, where it tries to blow your ears out. Because putting volume in the "setup" menu would be too easy.... lol |
