Default Connecting Garmin 680 to Head Unit

I've searched many threads but haven't seen this question answered:

The audio output (mp3 player, nav directions) from my Garmin will play on the car FM receiver via an unused radio station. On a recent road trip, I went crazy constantly switching to an unused FM frequency. Is there a way to take the earphone jack from my Garmin unit and send it through the car's sound system?

I have a 2001 C5 Convert with in dash CD player.

There are threads about Ipods but nothing using an earphone plug.

Do a search for "AUX" and you should find what you'll need to hook it up.

Look up "wired FM Modulator" Used to use one in my truck. Worked great. No station bleed over.
