find your car there, I belive it's listed... if not google will be your best freind...

 

Just an FYI, you do not need to attach the VSS cable (I found this out thanks to Boris when I first got the unit.) Everything will work just the same with/without the VSS cable.

Tried that site with no luck and without the vss the gps won't be accurate?

Not at all, same exact speed.

 

I've done both with/without and had same results, only time you'll have a "issue" is if you loose GPS signal (under a tunnel or garage where there is no signal)
