Hello everyone, newbe here. I have searched this site and could not find the vss wire location for my car. I used the stickey website but it was no luck. My stock radio had the option of getting louder when you drive faster so I know from searching 411 that it is in the factory wiring harness or so I hope. My question is two fold. Is the vss in the factory wiring harness? and if so what color is the wire? Thank you for all your help.

pink and blue striped wire behind the instrument cluster (middle plug)

 

VSS hookup not absolutely required (but does help speed/GPS accuracy if you do)...

 

good luck!

thank you, i have read that it might be in the factory wiring harness of the radio since the radio has the speed sensing volume option. I do not want to mess wiht the cluster especially wiht new model cars and how touchy they are. (dont want to go to the dealership if anything goes wrong, lol)I will look for that color wire in the harness as well.

 

Thank you for all your help

Its brown located on the factory radio harness. This works for 04-06 with Bose, not sure if non bose is the same.
