Garmin USB Voice Control Bundle, OTG Cable, Bluetooth USB Dongle

Overview

The Garmin 010-13194-00 is a USB voice control bundle that lets you control a compatible Garmin chartplotter by voice when paired with a compatible Bluetooth headset, and it can also work with voice control through a compatible Garmin watch.

It’s used on compatible GPSMAP chartplotters including GPSMAP 7x3, 9x3, 12x3, 84xx and 86xx series units, plus the GPSMAP 8700 black box. Once set up, you can speak commands instead of reaching for the touchscreen when the helm is busy.

This bundle is a straightforward add-on for boats where you want voice control at the helm without reworking the rest of the system.

• Adds voice control capability to compatible Garmin chartplotters after installation and pairing.

Compatibility and fit

Voice control depends on having a compatible Garmin chartplotter model and software that supports the feature. If your chartplotter falls within the supported GPSMAP families, confirm voice control is available in the unit’s menus and settings before installation.

Installation and setup

Connect the included hardware to the chartplotter’s USB connection, then pair your headset or watch through the chartplotter’s Bluetooth pairing menu. After pairing, enable voice control and set the voice control language if needed.

For best day-to-day use, keep the USB connection point in a protected spot behind the helm so the dongle and cable aren’t exposed to spray or getting bumped during docking.

Wireless notes

Headsets and Garmin watches connect to the chartplotter using Bluetooth technology for voice control. Bluetooth connections used for voice control are not considered secure, private connections.

Use cases on board

This setup fits well on boats where the helm can get hectic, like docking in tight slips, running in chop, or managing lines and fenders while staying on course. It’s also a practical upgrade for skippers who run solo or fish from the helm and want fewer screen taps while keeping attention outside the boat.

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
