2006 Hyundai Sonata GLS

Looking for the VSS and Rev wire

 

If possible any pictures (if the wires arent behind the stock radio)

 

Thanks!

 

Edit: also ive heard of a "frog wire" behind the dash (green with silver stripe) that needs to be tapped for some reason... can someone speak to that and/or clarify what needs to be done there?

Speed Sense is the yellow wire at the data link connector, pin 6. The data link connector is under the driver side dash.

 

Reverse Light is the blue wire in the driver's side kick panel, in the harness to rear.

ty... any idea bout the "frog wire" ?

[steve310]

that was a speedy response haha

 

but no I don't know anything about that...do you know why it needs to be tapped into, or what wire you would connect to it?

[scrupul0us]

ill paraphrase from a hyundai site:

 

"The Antenna Remote wire is different. I've never seen an adapter that includes it, and if you leave it off you'll have no AM and poor FM reception. The easiest way to fix this is to splice your Antenna Remote to the factory Frog Wire (it's green with silver stripes.)"

 

so from what im assuming, the harness i solder my AVIC wires too doesnt have the correct matching PIN for the power antenna wire and as such they want me to tap that wire into the correct wire on the factory harness?

 

seems to me it might just be easier to relocate a PIN on the harness adapter to make it mate up vs. tapping into the factory wiring

 

again im just assuming that that is what this "frog wire" nonsense is

[steve310]

I agree with everything you said. If there any unused wires on the harness you bought, and the "Frog Wire" is in the radio harness, I would just move the unused wire to the corresponding location on your harness. That would definitely be better than tapping into it somewhere else.

i guess i wont know until i get the dash apart and take a look at things

 

thanks!

[scrupul0us]

well i got it all sorted out!

 

maybe one of the power installers here can answer this question...

 

how and where do i hookup a PAC-SWIX for this car and to the AVIC itself?

 

I've been looking all over and simply cannot find anything about hookup in the Sonata or to the deck itself

 

thanks!

First of all the swix SUCKS. It doesn't connect to the avic. IT's ir. which means in order to program it to the avic you're going to need a pioneer remote. You should get the swips. Now once you have that, here's the instructions to connect it to the car.

And it plugs into the wired remote input on the rca harness.

[scrupul0us]

the white wire on the SWIPS plugs into which wire on the RCA harness?

 

as far as i can recall the only wires on the RCA after u bypass the unit are amp remote, reverse and vss

 

can u please confirm which wire (color) on the RCA harness the SWIPS connects to... thanks cntrylvr79

 

heres the SWIPS

[cntrylvr79]

The swips has a headphone jack on it. That's the plug that connects to the avic. The white wire on the interface taps into the vehicle wiring.

[scrupul0us]

so the white wire hooks into the harness adapter per the websites instructions... and the headphone jack goes where? dare i say the front of the head unit b/c thats the only place i remember seeing a headphone type jack on the unit

 

as for attaching the swips to the car.. the notes on the PAC site say to skip the entire table of instructions and theres no other mention of hooking into the steering wheel wires

[cntrylvr79]

In step 3 when it says read note #1. Ignore that, and just proceed to step 4.

 

I can't make it any clearer than that.

[scrupul0us]

So if im understanding you and the website correctly:

 

# Connect the INTERFACE's White wire to Pin 18, Brown wire of the above connector

# Pin 19, Green wire needs to be grounded.

 

# Jump to section 4 (skip all steps (1-23) in the table)

 

if so, that still doesnt tell me where i hookup the headphone jack or how the unit hooks up to the factory steering wheel wiring

 

i ask u keep in mind ive never installed one of these before and while i installed the AVIC myself I cannot claim i know 100% what the heck is going on all the time... i dont wanna bug or frustrate you but a little more clarification would be GREATLY appreciated

The bold part is where you connect the swips to the vehicle's steering wheel controls. Just do what the instructions say. The headphone jack from the swips plugs into the "Wired Remote Input" on the avic. I don't know how else to say it.
