Marine band, CB, iPod and phone for Garmin 340

[James331]

Hey guys.

So I'm looking to do some panel work on my 185. I'm not adding anything, she's got everything I want, but I would like to ditch the CD player and swap it to a TRRS plug.

Basically I don't own a single CD, and the player just looks out of place IMO, I've also seen folks pay a good dollar for them on eBay (god knows why).

I'd like to delete the CD player and install a 3.5mm TRRS plug, providing input and output through COM 3 on my Garmin 340, this way I could listen to my iPod, use it with a CB or other handheld radio, or use it with a cell phone and have everyone able to hear it, and both upfront able to transmit.

Something like this.

But preferably black, gold plated and with a flapper door cover.


Also any suggestions on where I can get a panel cutout to spec, doesn't need to be painted or anything, just a 185 panel like this, but with the cutouts to match my layout (Sandel, Garmins, JPI, trim, etc).

Thanks!

From the thread title, I thought you wanted some John Philip Sousa

This picture shows PS Engineering's PMA8000. You mention the GMA340, which one do you actually have?

He said he has a panel LIKE this, so I assume it's a 340

I have a Garmin 340

Actually that panel is very similar to mine, 530/430/330/EHSI.

I just like the layout and circuit breaker locations.
