Garmins have USB or Data connectors - or both
obviously radio needs one of those inputs.
radio must be setable for Garmin format. If NMEA only verify Garmin is set to output NMEA - some do not have that option.
If the radio is receiving data from the Elite 5, (Owners manual, link below) Page 6 the GPS icon (#11) on that page will indicate it.
Hope this helps.

I realize this question has been here forever, but I've included the link to the Owner's Manual in case anyone requires it. Page 5 shows which wires go to/from external equipment. Orange (+) and the small black (-) are for your external speaker. Green is + for gps data in while the brown is GPS ground. Yellow is not used.
Many VHFs will not acknowledge any of the DSC functions if the unit is not receiving position data. If the unit is correctly wired to a GPS or chartplotter and you can verify that it is receiving position information, then you may have a faulty radio.
Your plotter can talk to you Radio and your pilot. It sounds like one of two things.You must go into the system setup menu and turn on the nmea sentances. You will need to turn on RMB, RMC, GGl at least. You can turn on all the sentances if you like it does not matter. If this does not fix, check color of wiring is correct. Remember you have to go from NMEA + out (on plotter) to NMEA + IN on Radio.Then you need NMEA - out(on Plotter) to NMEA - IN on Radio.
You can look at the sentances wirth a multi meter coming out of your plotter. You put meter in DCV and connect across the NMEA out lines. You will see the meter move every second or so as it send a sentance.
