Display QSM11 Data on Garmin 8600 MFDs

[Jeremy Bendler]

Has anyone displayed their QSM11 engine data on garmin screens? The screens all network using NMEA 2000. Is there an adapter available to add QSM11 data to the network?

How about data from an Onan MDKAV generator? I don’t currently have data from my generator displayed anywhere.

Thanks, Jeremy

Yeah you have what’s called Cummins OEM architecture. It’s not easy to bridge this data to NMEA as the data protocol is NOT the current J1939 standar protocol, but rather SAE J1708.

You need to search the Internet for a J1708 to NMEA 2000 translator, then piggy back on the wires going into the back of the screens to FEED the data to the translators you source.

Keep the thread alive if you source a good translator… there’s others out there that want to do this too….

Something like this product?
