There is an issue with Garmin transponders with the extended squitter
mod not accepting data from non certified GPS. In the case I know the
chap spent 900 for an upgrade to his relatively new transponder only to
find that it will not accept data from a 496!
Certainly worth asking the questions before spending any money.

for extended squitter (ADS-B out). Not cheap - so maybe selling it (in Europe
- the Americans probably won't want it as ADS-B is soon to be mandated there)
and getting an alternative like the Trig unit would seem to be the best option.
It won't surprise me if Garmin withdraw the upgrade to make people buy their
new Xpdrs anyway . . .
