Active Captain and GARMIN Chart Plotters Integration

I'm using Active Captain on my iPad and/or iPhone all the time. My boat is equipped with two RM E120s and having iPad integrated with AC is a great 3rd "MFD".

I recall reading how owners of vessels equipped with GARMIN package provide very positive feedback, especially having intergation with AC. So, a friend of mine just bought new GARMIN chartplotter and he's having a hard time finding how to integrade AC with the new MFD. I gave it a quick look and was just as stumbled. Did basic research on the web and the only info we found is that AC can integrade with GARMIN MOBILE and HomePort PC software, but NOT the actual on board MFDs.

Is my finding correct or is there a trick that I'm missing?

P.S. I know that FURUNO just came out with the software upgrade that will use AC API for full integration. I was just under the impression that GARMIN was ahead of the game here.
