I am very knowledgable on car audio/ video installation, but have never done a navigation system before. i read the installation manual about 5 times, and my only road blocks are the pink wire and the violet/white wire...

....i have a 2000 lexus gs400 and have no idea on where the vehicle injection computer is, and the actual wire that needs to be spliced.. can someone help me...

oh and the violet wire, i assume, just goes to the reverse light leads..

...btw (FIRST POST!!)

Speed Sense purple/white power steering ECU

The power steering ECU is between the driver kick and the ABS ECU.

Speed Sense purple/white power steering ECU

The power steering ECU is between the driver kick and the ABS ECU.

so i connect the pink wire to the purple/white wire coming out of the ecu?? btw i dont know where the abs ecu is..

anyone?

He just told you where it is. Between the driver kick panel and the abs ecu

You're "very knowledgable" about car installation but don't know where the driver's kick panel is? Are you serious? If you look in the kick panel, you should find a module labeled "steering ecu" or something similar. Toyota is nice to their dealership's techs, and they label just about everything. Once you have found it, you should see a purple/white wire. Run the pink of the nav unit to this wire and SPLICE into it. Don't cut it. You will know it is the correct wire when the speed pulse number in the info display goes higher as you go faster, and the beeps get faster/high pitched.

Still can't figure it out? Take it to a pro, and pay him for his knowledge of cars and installs.

wow i dont remember saying i didnt know where the kick panel is, i do remember asking where the abs ecu is, because i seriously dont know... i also just wanted to confirm what he was talking about because, once again, ive never done navigation and have only done a/v... but anyway, you did help, and thanks for answering my question( not being sarcastic), all that other stuff could have been left out though..
