NM06lariat Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Hello all. I got my stuff in today and may start my install in the morning. I found the post to locate my VSS wire in the harness, but I can't find the reverse sensor wire. Can someone tell me where it is? Thanks in adavance, Phillip Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tillithz Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Reverse Light = black/pink DKP, gray plug, pin 13 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NM06lariat Posted January 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 One more question. Can I use the ground coming out of the OEM adapter or do I need to add another ground? Thanks, Phillip Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tillithz Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 should be able to use it, check to see that there is a wire on the opposite side of the other harness in line with that. You could always meter it as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NM06lariat Posted January 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 Yeah there is. Can I also use this ground to ground out the brake wire and the blue antenna wire that I move into the empty slot? Also, will I need to run seperate power and ground wire for my Sirius rec.? I was thinking of running seperate hot and ground wires for my Sirius and DVD changer, I guess from the fuse box. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tillithz Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 you wouldnt ground the ant. wire itself, now if you were just using that wire removed from the harness and plugged into the secret spot for bypassing then yes thats fine. You 'could' use the ground for the avic and sirius unit, as well as the power. It is best to have as few grounds as possible. the gauge however should match that of the power though. so if your tapping in alot of things you may want to consider cleaning it up by making a new one by itself.

NM06lariat Posted January 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 Yeah, that's what I meant by the antenna wire. I also forgot to mention that I'll have a video screen hooked up as well. I though I might make a seperate tap for power and ground to ground the Sirius, DVD changer and Flip down monitor. I'm not going to mount the monitor, I'm going to leave that up to a professional. I haven't figured out where I'm going to mount the Sirius either, probably under the back seat or against the back firewall. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tillithz Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 I don think the ipbus cable is long enough on the sirius to put it there. but you want to have as few grounds as possible, less is more kinda thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NM06lariat Posted January 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 Thanks again. Yeah, after looking at it, it will have to be mounted up front, I've got all my wires soldered and I'm off to the races! Wish me luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmy303 Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 Yeah, there's no reason to mount your Sirius in the back or under a seat when you have enough room in the dash to hide a pair of shoes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmy303 Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 Or a tuna sandwich. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tillithz Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 figured you would be able to find an appropriate place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NM06lariat Posted January 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 Holy Snikeys! I just pulled my stereo to find two factory harnesses. What does that mean? Also, I searched for the VSS wire and found that it should be the gray/black wire in location 5, but it's not. location 5 is only a black and location 14 is gray / black. So which one is it? Thanks, Phillip Quote Link to post Share on other sites
