I have seen a similar question asked in the Road Cycling forum in the past. You could try searching there for the answer.

Knowing Garmin ... not likely.
When I went from a Forerunner 305 w/HR to the Edge 305 w/HR ... the FR 305 would not work with the E305 and vis-a versa.
So ... the chances of a non-Garmin strap working with (anything) Garmin??? Not to goood.
Give it a try ... you could be the 1 in a 10000000000000000.

No. The 305s are coded and propriety. If it does then that's just dumb luck.
