please help guys. i tried putting my buddies (neon green) n5 east map disc in my n4, everything works fine. i tried putting my (red) n4 east map in and the monitor reads" not the appropriate disc. please insert appropriate disc." now i cant use my navi.......... i tried resetting the unit. i tried resotring factory settings, no luck. any ideas guys?!?!?!!?!?

maybe i can answer my own question... a PAC piece.... c2r-chy. sounds like it is exactly what i need. anyone used/installed one?? and feedback would be cool. Thanks

06 charger 3.5 liter indash 6 disc, basic speaker setup. installing avic-n4, everything works great except no VSS wire found. DEIs website said--- dk green/brown pin 32 at PCM. well not there. is a speed pulse generator my only option, or can i find that wire at the tranny???? i would greatly appreciate the help THANKS.

remove your gauge cluster (mph/rpm/fuel/EVERYTHING your looking at) and in the harness there will be red/white wire. probably a couple of screws and some clips holding it in.

as far as which screen it shows when it boots...that depends which unit. your illumination wire is connected to your parking lights or headlights. which will control your avic. if you want to be able to dim the avic your illum. wire should be connected to the +12v dimmer wire at the switch. again depending on which unit it may not dim, just on/off.

red/yellow in DKP.

green/orange at ECM behind glove box.

The PCM (Powertrain Control Module) is located in the center console. The VSS is blue/white located in a 32 pin plug. not sure on reverse. youll have to test.

im not sure on the 85vette but it is very possible to replicate a VSS signal. not very easy, but possible. i have done several aftermarket cruise controls that require a add on VSS "kit" (two magnets.. one mounted to a fixed point under the cars suspension, one to a rotating or moving (axle, or any suspension that moves) in the direction of the vehicle moving forward. actually pretty basic, not reliable b/c the magnets evetually fall out. all the "ol school" installers feel me. check rostra.com good luck.

it will help to keep the arrow "speed" accurate. but if your having trouble with it going "off path" its probably an antenna(gps) issue. VSS is only the vehicle speed sense wire.

you are correct...only need reverse for a camera. and DO NOT cut your RCA's. you could damage the harness or the stereo. just tape them or let them be.

well you can use a multimeter to test the vss wire...but its challenging for someone who is not a "professional." if your MPH on your "vehicle dynamics" screen works you'll know, plus you'll know from how accurate (fast or slow) your avic gps tells you your traveling.

sounds like a remote turn-on issue. possibly using the power antenna control wire?!?!? or maybe your non-fader output is turned down on the audio controls.

should be a violet/yellow (right connector in ECM) should be behind the glove box...possibly down further

yes you need the GPS antenna

my 2 cents... your N3 is definetly not the problem, it is only going to do what your vehicle tells it to (speed signal). Speed signal on the N3 is an input not an output, so dont let a mechanic tell you it caust you speed sense signals to go bad. check obvious things.. fuses, circuit breakers etcetc. if not have it serviced...its your vehicle not your N3. sorry i dont have any tech. help for your nissan xterra. i did check a couple of sights that say you can tap your N3 s.s. wire to a dk grn/bk at the ECM (below the heater box, to the right of the accelerator) good luck

No the speed signal wire does not control a "lockout" feature. It is for gps accuracy^^ stated above. Also one of your navi "map views" displays a MPH gauge and two other gauges you choose.

yes. connect speed sense wire.

i see. i appreciate the help.

whats up with that?? why will it only work until feb08? thanks for your help.

sorry if im asking a question that the answer is in another forum, i could not find it. i want an ip-bus tv tuner for my n4. i want to know if all pioneer tv tuners will work (ie.. GEXP5700TV, GEXP6400TV, or the GEXP7000TV)?!?!? if they work, is there any modification needed?? pros/cons would be great....thanks

i second the ground problem.

my 2 cents...... i have a 98 lexus es300, the bypass works excellent

Could you possibly do a cool black or silver Lexus BG for my es300. by the way it is for a Avic-n4. thanks jc96641@comcast.net
