[QUOTE="RZ350, post: 690162, member: 13475"] Yes, the Nuvi 780 has a separate mono phone jack in the base of the OEM cradle for an external MIC (Thanks Garmin!). Garmin offers a remote mic to mount close to your head in the car. In my AquaBox, I have a mono plug running directly from the MIL connector to cradle jack. I plan to tap this into my helmet system eventually. For audio out on the Nuvi 780, you have two choices for external speakers, the stereo jack on the left side of the unit, or through pins 10,11,12 on the OEM docking cradle. Mic-in and Audio-out are meant to work simultaneously. The scenario would be talking on your cell phone in the car (via GPS bluetooth) using the remote mic and piping the audio through your car speakers. There's one piece to the puzzle that I'm missing yet before I run audio-out directly through the cradle, and that's how to turn off the internal speaker. When you plug a normal set of headphones in the Nuvi side jack, it automatically turns off the internal speaker and directs sound through the jack (this is typical for any audio device). There are other accessories Garmin offers for the 7XX series that route audio through the cradle only, but I haven't figured out how they are triggering this function through only cradle pins. Might have to acquire one of these other devices to study it, but I was hoping internet searches would show me the light. For now, it's not that hard to unplug the headphone jack when I take the Nuvi out of the Box and mount it in my truck. Anyone have any ideas to solve my puzzle? [/QUOTE]
