steve310 Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Speed Sense is the pink wire at radio harness (Midline or BOSE only) On vehicles without the 5 speed automatic transmission, you can also use blue/yellow behind the instrument cluster. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lalo56 Posted June 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Is there a picture i can look at to try to do this on my own? If i can see where the wire is at i can splice onto it and run it to the HU. NON BOSE system nor auto transmission. Thanks again, I get LOTS OF HELP HERE and trust me i appreciate everyones input.

lalo56 Posted June 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Oh last question, What gage wire should i use for the lead? Color on the harness is pink for the VSS right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cntrylvr79 Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Yeah pink on the avic is vss. As for wire gauge, 18 is fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cntrylvr79 Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 The pink wire in altima's isn't always there. I've done a couple that I had to go to a wheel speed sensor to get a vss signal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lalo56 Posted June 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Is the ACC on the radio the VSS? also look at the factory harness, which wire is the VSS there. Installer connected the ACC to the 12+switched and to the PAC which is powering up the steering wheel control module. So do i need to cut off the ACC from the joined connection and connect it where? Thanks for your help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cntrylvr79 Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Glad you got it working. It's a shame your installer was THAT lazy..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lalo56 Posted June 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Glad you got it working. It's a shame your installer was THAT lazy..... Either that or uninformed. Or just wanted people to go back and have them pay them more for them to connect it. He was working in that area how lazy can he be? lol. The actual work took me about 15 min but overall took me about 2hrs since i had to make a call to crutchfield to help me out a bit and just gather information to proceed and then take pictures and post here. Any way im glad its done and i cant thank you guys enough for the help provided. Thanks alot guys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
