I have a Garmin 182C that I would like to connect to a new iComm M502.
Which NMEA wires gor to whihc, and what is the easiest method for
making the connections?

On my first installation (GPS 12), I used the Garmin to utility outlet
power/PC cable. I cut off the urility plug and wired it directly to power
behind the instrument panel. I spliced together the GPS wires of my VHF
radio and radar and put a DB9 connector on them. I connected the Garmin DB9
to the radio/radar DB9. It's worked well for several years. When I think of
it, I separate the DB9 connectors, wipe a film of dielectric grease on them
and reconnect them.
I emailed Garmin telling them what each of the wires was identifed on on
each piece of equipment and they sent me specific instructions for which
wires to use because it seemed to me that each manufacturer stated things
differently, which confused me.

Depending on the number of pins in the Garmin plug, Garmin's website has
wiring diagrams for all their plugs. Usually the data-out wire is blue or
brown, and the second (gnd) wire is black. Best place to pick these up is at
the opposite end to the rear plug, where they may be tied back, or feeding
other instruments.

I don't have the websire page, but it is easy to find with their search
facility. It is in pdf format.

Theres a very informative illustration in the manual.
