I have an LX 5000, which I want to interface with a Red Box Flarm.

The LX has four ports (five including the vario display connection)
labelled:

1. Power (wired to battery main switch)
2. Hold (wired to flip switch. No idea what it does!)
3. DataComm (a previous owner had "hot wired" two of its leads into a
Garmin LX12 cable. No Garmin now fitted)
4. Meter ( RJ 12 6 pin phone type port. Not connected.)

The LX presumably has a built in GPS, but needs an aerial.

The LX is not finding a GPS fix, as there is no aerial. I assume the
Garmin
had been used to give the LX data via the DataComm hot wires.

Now, with no Garmin, I assume the Flarm GPS aerial could do the job.

Question, how to wire it all up. Must be simple for anyone other than an
electronic imbecile like myself.

That doesn't even rise to the level of a concept - more like wishful thinking.
