ash3x6 Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 On the new Ford Escape2009 Hybrid which wire is the new VSS or Vehicle Speed Sensor wire behind the stereo. I opened it up and looked and its not the same as the -2008 and below. All help greatly appreciated, I just want to get a switch on there and be able to use my POI while driving. Thank You! Ford Escape Hybrid 2009 w/ Microsoft Sync Navigation. Which wire on the back of the stereo is the VSS cable? I have seen the wiring for the 2008 model and it is different for the 2009. I even have the wiring diagrams for the three connectors going in to back of the navigation/audio unit but they do not clearly state which pin/cable is the VSS/Vehicle Speed Sensor. Below is the name of the 3 connectors and the circuit function for each pin.

ash3x6 Posted November 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 thats not going to work anyway. you need to bypass your unit. the speed sense has nothing to do with it Then why has everyone with an 08 put a switch on the VSS wire and got the result I want? http://www.greenhybrid.com/discuss/f26/location-color-safe-vss-wire-20085/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bri_she Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 The VSS wire is not the only way the avic knows the vehicle is in motion, it also detects speed thru the gps antenna. You need to do the bypass in order to operate everything while in motion. There are several forums on this site explaining how. The short and sweet of it is: ground the ebrake wire (typically green), then move the mute wire (yellow/black) from it's factory location to the open location between two black wires in same plug, then ground it also. (these wires are on the avic f series, not the car). Now the avic won't care if the car is moving or not. Hope this helps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
