ETube discarded the changes saying the Garmin buttons could not be applied. I have the new Bluetooth/ANT+ EW-WU111 on order. I found a YouTube video from a gentleman using that configuration and he is able to use his 6870 shifters to control his Garmin headunit:

Odd. When I still used my Edge1000 is would periodically ask about setting up Di2 button controls for the head unit...in spite of having R785 shifters with only X/Y buttons and no dedicated spare buttons.

Does the Garmin itself have a button setup menu you can use?
