-====== MFD Garmin =======
+====== Garmin MFD integration ======
-Wiring: no special cable is required, the Garmin is a normal Ethernet socket. use a standard RJ-45 LAN cable. For proper wiring, including pull relief; an adapter is necessary (TBD).
+===== 1. Introduction =====
-Networking  (DHCP server op de Garmin)
+This document explains how to connect to Garmin MFDs using an Ethernet connection.
+The integration technology used is called [[https://www.garmin.com/en-US/onehelm|Garmin OneHelm]].
+Make sure to also study the [[https://www.victronenergy.com/live/ccgx:start#marine_mfd_integration_by_app|Marine MFD Integration by App chapter in the manual]].
-Usage
+Note that there is an alternative method to connect, which is NMEA2000. See the [[https://www.victronenergy.com/live/ccgx:start#marine_mfd_integration_by_nmea_2000|NMEA2000 chapter in the main manual]].
+===== 2. Compatibility =====
+OneHelm is currently available for the following models:
+  * GPSMAP® 8400/8600 MFD series
+  * GPSMAP® 722/922/1222 Plus MFD series
+Also, Active Captain is supported. This screenshot shows ActiveCaptain, with the Victron App:

+===== 3. Wiring =====
+The Garmin needs to be connected to the [[https://www.victronenergy.com/live/venus-os:start|GX device ]] using Ethernet. Its not possible to connect over WiFi. For the ethernet connection, a Garmin adapter is required:
+  * Marine Network Cables - 6ft - PART NUMBER 010-10550-00
+  * Marine Network Cables - 20ft - PART NUMBER 010-10551-00
+  * Marine Network Cables - 40ft - PART NUMBER 010-10552-00
+  * Marine Network Cables - 500ft - PART NUMBER 010-10647-01
+===== 4. Configuration =====
+==== 4.1. GX device settings ====
+  - Go to //Settings -> Services//, and there enable both //MQTT on LAN (SSL)// and //MQTT on LAN (Plaintext)//.{{:venus-os:venus-html5-mqtt.png?400|}}
+  - Go to //Settings -> System Setup -> Scroll to the bottom -> Marine MFD App configuration//. And there set up what batteries you want to see on the MFD, and by what name. Make sure to check out [[https://www.dropbox.com/s/nlvqttx320zyaba/Battery%20Measurements.mov?dl=0|this video, which shows how to configure the batteries to be visible on the MFD]]. {{:venus-os:venus-html5-batteries1.png?400|}}{{:venus-os:venus-html5-batteries2.png?400|}}
+  - For boats; and other applications with DC loads such as lighting and a Battery Monitor installed, make sure to enable the "Has DC system setting". For more information about it; see the [[https://www.victronenergy.com/live/ccgx:start|GX Manual]].
+==== 4.2. Networking ====
+No special networking settings are necessary. Not on the Garmin; and not on the Victron GX Device.
+The Garmin MFDs run a DHCP server; and the [[https://www.victronenergy.com/live/ccgx:start|GX device]] are by default configured to use DHCP. After plugging in the cable, the Victron icon will show up after 10 to 30 seconds.
+To connect the GX Device to the internet and the [[https://vrm.victronenergy.com|VRM Portal]], while its Ethernet port is already in use to connect to the Garmin, use WiFi. [[https://www.victronenergy.com/live/ccgx:start#internet_connectivity|more information]].
+:!: Connecting a Garmin MFD to a network router over Ethernet leads to IP address conflicts, due to the integrated DHCP server.
+:!: It is not possible to use a [[https://www.victronenergy.com/accessories/gx-gsm|GX GSM]], due to the integrated DHCP server of the Garmin MFD.
