Hello. I am new to AVIC411 and I'm just got the D3 on sat. I have a Mazda CX-7 and I had the unit installed at BestBuy. The installer mentioned that he was having a hard time finding the spped wire, because everytime he searched CX-7 is was only talking about the model with the Moonroof. I have the Sport model with no moonroof and the regular stereo.The GPS antenna in located in the little window on the passenger side. My location is sometimes(mostly) behind and my Speed is very off. The signal stregnth seems to be good until it almost freezes and then it's behind. Any ideas and sorry if this has been posted but I tried my best to search for it. I also have the BT adapter (Verizon 8130) with Ipod Adapter.

Speed Sense WHITE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER

 

Regardless of trim level. Done a number of cx-7s of different trim levels. Each has had this wire.

The speed sensor for pretty much any model of car will be the same regardless of the trim level.

Thanks for the information. I am actually going to BestBuy after work to have the installer relocate the antenna. The GPS is kind of useless right now. It shows that I am in rivers and stuuf and then will jump back to the road that I am really on for a sec. Do you think if I move the antenna that this will fix some of my problems? Right now it is in the small passenger window under what appeard to be a frame arm (lots of mrtal). Thanks!

Yeah, the antenna will only get proper signal through glass or plastic. Metal severely hinders it's reception.
