I just bought a Garmin Striker 4 and after reading the instruction manual I could find an explaination for the blue and brown wire. I assume one of those connects to the positive terminal along with the red wire but there are no instructions for this can someone tell me about the brown and blue wire thank you

I have a Garmin Stiker 4 & wondered the same thing... I called Garmin & they said I didn't need to hook up the brown or blue wires, so just tape them out of the way. Unit works great!

They are used to share data between other compatible Garmin devices. Here is a link that covers it in depth

If you do share, connect the brown wire on one unit to the blue wire on the other unit. Do not connect brown to brown and blue to blue. If not sharing, tape them up.
