had the n3 installed for a few months now...at first, the vehicle dynamics would work without having the vss wire connected. after disconnecting the battery for an amp adjustment, and reconnecting, the speed gauge is the only one that stopped working. vss is still not connected. any ideas???

You have to wait for the inertia sensor and gyro to initialize, usually about 6 hrs.

does that mean i gotta be driving around for that long, or do i leave the key in the ignition in the acc position and leave the headunit on for that long???

Usually, you must drive the car around for a while for the sensor to initialize. In the hardware menu in the nav menus, there is a screen for the 3-d sensor, it will say 'sensor initializing' until it is ready....

mine still doesnt wokr and its supposibly all the way intialized

So why not hook up the vss then?

i was told id have to drop the trannie on my 02 civic to get to the wire for the speed sensor

?????????what?????????

Find a blue wire with a white stripe @ the cruise control module above the driver's kick panel.

right on and thatll wire into the vss? i figured there was an easier way. thanks.

Wow drop the tranny on a civic for vss? maybe if you want to pick it up directly at the sensor. You can also get it behind the gauge cluster, same color as jimmy303 said.

Yeah, look behind the cluster if you don't have cruise control. Thanks, cntry.

Ahh not a problem. Even if he ain't got cruise control, the harness is still there, just takes a bit of work to get to. Then again popping the cluster out is a fair bit easier.

im seeing lots of blueand white whires and 2 blue ones with white stripes there really skinny wires ... i have cruise control power mirrors and power windows so i want to make sure i tap into the right one ... one of the blue wires with thie dashes goes to a plug in thats not connected to anything..... is this the plug used to hook a diagnostic machine up at the dealership?

I dont understand how the first few times I resetted my avic-n3 and had to do absolutely nothing to get the speed gauge to work in vehicle dynamics...not all it says is 3-d sensor initializing...i've even tried resetting the system numerous times...i've driven around for atleast an hour one time with the navi disc in and routes selected...should I do that and then leave it in my car powered on for 6 hours like some of you suggested???

Just drive for a while. Eventually the sensors will fully initialize and the speedo will work.

anyone?

Well, don't tap into any wires going to the mirrors or windows, the cruise control module should be labeled, so it's easy to find. Tap into that. Blue/white.
