The default simulators don’t have an accurate simulation of Garmin units.
However, Reality XP sells add-on Garmin 430 and 530 units that you can incorporate into aircraft in the simulator, and these are driven by Garmin’s own simulation software, so they behave exactly like the real thing.
In addition, some add-on aircraft (such as those from Dreamfleet, such as their Bonanza, Baron, Dakota, and Archer models) have Reality XP’s Garmin units built in.
So you can either buy the add-on units from Reality XP and install them in the default aircraft of your choice (be forewarned, it’s tedious), or you can buy add-on aircraft that already have the units. However, the default sim itself doesn’t include them. FS 2004 retails for about $20, and the Reality XP units run about $40, I think.

ASA’s On Top flight simulator includes the Garmin 430. However, this is a training simulator, not an entertainment package.
