Pin 14 only is used/hot when a Reverse Sensor Option is installed from the factory..

I am looking on where to find the VSS wire on a 2006 Ford Freestar

If you are using a Ford brand 2004 or newer car/truck/van/SUV then pin 5 should be around 12V when the radio is ON. The RADIO is feeding pin 5 the 12V

In Vehicle Dynamics it shows a speed and it changes accuratly Should I really care ?

I connected the speed pulse wire on the D3 to the Vehicle Speed Signal on the Ford 24 pin radio connector - Pin 14 (2006 Ford Freestar) and so far navigation is working well, but how can I tell if it working ? I checked in the Hardware Info --> Connection Status and the Speed Pulse always reads 0 In Vehicle Dynamics it shows a speed and it changes accuratly Should I really care ?

I did the D3 bypass steps, but what exactly should I do as a test to verify the bypass is working ?

From my 2006 Ford Freestar Electrical Shop Manual: 1 = Voltage supplied at all times 2 = Switched power 3 = Illumination 4 = Ground 5 = Power antenna 6 = Not used 7 = Not used 8 = Spk LF+ 9 = Spk LR+ 10 = Spk RR+ 11 = Spk RF+ 12 = Spk RF- 13 = Ground 14 = Vehical Speed Signal 15 = Voltage Supplied at Start 16 = Not used 17 = Not used 18 = Steering Wheel Contols 19 = Not used 20 = Not used 21 = Spk LF- 22 = Spk LR- 23 = Spk RR- 24 = Not used *Note: Pin 18 is which you connect the PAC-Audio Unit SWI-PS http://pac-audio.com/products/productsC ... 0Interface

The AVIC-D3 manual says connecting the reverse wire is important, but is it really if I am not using a reverse camera ?

Go to www.Crutchfield.com to check for an install kit.
