Well I am almost finished my install. I still have the ND-BT1 and the Wireless remote to install... should be here this week. Wanted to say a BIG THANKS to DucatiBoy!!! Your bypass works like a charm!

Here is the problem I am having. I have installed the Z1 into a 2005 Chevy Optra (similar to the Suzuki Forenza) and I am having troubles with the VSS wire.

I went to the local GM Dealer and asked them to print me out the schematics for the VSS wire on my car. The printout said that it is the D-GN/WH wire. I located the wire coming from the engine through the firewall below the drivers side. I noticed that there were two same color!

I tested one with a volt meter on AC/V and when I was stopped I would get a reading. I then started to move the vehicle and it would move a little, but not a lot. I then tried the other and I got nothing.

I hooked up the first wire and went into the Z1 settings to check the connection. When I am in park I get 200 as a reading (in the Z1 connection menu). When I move it stays the same.

I then tried the other wire and it didn't give me a reading at all.

My questions are... does anybody know the right wire? and what should I look for on my volt meter when I am testing wires?

p.s. I will post pictures of my install some time next weekend.

TIA

Can't answer which wire it should be but my vss wire reads zero on the z1 hardware screen when stopped and sends pulses when I begin to accelerate.
