Thanks, I actually replaced them with crimp caps later on, this is an older pic. But good point.

I recently installed D3 with XM in my 2005 Saab 9-2x (this is pretty much the same vehicle as Subaru Impreza WRX). I am not so familiar with car tweaking and installations so it took me a while to figure out how to connect (actually locate) the VSS (vehicle speed sensor) and reverse signals. All I could find at various sites were the instructions to find the ECM (Engine control module) and look for VSS there. Finally, the Crutchfield tech support emailed me a couple of diagrams that helped me locate the ECM. So to help others looking for VSS and reverse I took a couple of pics during t

Yes, I've installed VSS. The unit has only been installed for the last 100 or so miles. Actually, now it seems to be a bit more accurate even though there is still one particular section of NJ turnpike (around exit 8, fyi) where the unit gets confused. This is quite odd as there are no buildings (or anything else that I can tell) around. Also, I find their way of showing a car's position on the map a bit odd: the car is at the tip of the arrow. To me, having the actual car location in the center of the arrow would be more intuitive.

I finally installed a D3 in my Saab 9-2x, with XM & iPod interface. However, the GPS seems to be quite off. It sometimes happens that as I drive down NJ turnpike the GPS "looses track" and the D3 shows that my car is heading in the direction opposite of the actual heading direction (eg northbound on the map when the car is actually going southbound). The GPS eventually catches up, but even then it seems to be a bit off (intersections on the map do not align with the actual intersections). I have really never seen this happen on any other GPS unit I've previously owned. Any clu
