Whats a VSS wire? I'm getting a lincoln zephry and avic z1, and I don't see my car listed. Thanks and God Bless.

Ok I have a 2004 chrysler crossfire, should be the same as a 2003 mb slk 320.

Any ideas?

Did the stock radio have the "gets louder as you go faster thing"?

If it does, the VSS will be wired into the radio allready and will be included in your vehicles wire harness.

Mine did not have that feature but I will look to see if there are any extra wires there. Thanks.

I'll post if I find any info so others will know too

To add my .02 the vss wire is not under normal circumstances pinned in an aftermarket harness. The best bet as far as testing for the vss wire is to grab a meter set it to ac voltage. Ground the negative probe and probe your suspect wire. put the car in drive and watch the reading. It should fluctuate with vehicle speed.

i just noticed my VSS isn't connected on my 'dealer/professionally' installed N1 in a 2005 toyota sequoia, anyone know where it is ? I checked the listed sites and couldn't find it.

VW's aren't listed on that site, but I found the info elsewhere, the VSS wire is located in the 32 pin connector on the back of the gauge cluster. Its pin #3, on my car (2005 GTI) its blue with white tracer, but other pictures I've seen its white with a blue tracer. Make sure not to have the key in the ignition while the connector is removed or it will cause an airbag fault requiring a trip to the dealer to reset (so I've read). Got the info from www.vwnavi.com in case other VW folks need other info (not sure how common the color/location is across other models).

Admin Edit: Fixed the Link.

Is that the case for all cars with that feature? My Yukon had that. Is there way to test?

Thanks, that would be great if this worked.

Depends on the year of the yukon. Though if you can fit the d1/d2/z1 in the truck, then no you can't get it at the radio harness.

Any idea where to find this wire on a 2002 Porsche Boxster S? The linked site doesn't even have Porsche listed.

what is the purpose of this wire and the navigation? I am installing a avic 80dvd. Any idea if I will need to find the wire? Thanks, Greg

Greg-

The Z1 (and almost all other permanent nav systems) use what is referred to as dead-reckoning to provide a more precise indication of where you are located. Contrary to popular belief, the system does not continuously track the satellites it can see, rather it gets periodic updates to as to where it is located on the Earth's surface. By tying into the vehicles speed, the nav system can use the previous known location and heading from the satellite to determine how far the vehicle has travelled.

Dead-reckoning combined with the internal gyroscope also makes the system much more accurate when it can't get a good fix on location from the satellites (like in a tunnel, or downtown in a large city).

Very Good! And I have found the vss and connected the unit, avic 80 seems like a fine unit. Thanks for the reply!!

I went to the site but could not for the life of me find any links for my VSS location. After entering my vehicle year/make/model, I was directed to a page that contained products for my car (rear camera system, etc.). But nothing on VSS. Can you be more specific on where to get this info on the site? Thanks.

tell us the year/make/model!

Thanks for the info. I'll report back with my progress.

P.S. What does "BCM" stand for? Where is it?

Its the body control module. As for where it is I don't have the info infront of me right now so I couldn't say. You're better off though picking it up at the data link connector though. Easier to get at.

Yes, thanks - I found the Data Link Connector under the dash. Question: do you think it's OK to simply plug a male connector into the pin 6 to get access to it (as opposed to splicing the wire)??

ALSO: can you tell me the easiest spot (under the dash??) to tap into the reverse signal (I'm not looking forward to snaking a cable to rear taillight!!)?

I wouldn't just plug in, you should splice it, better connection and should someone need to plug in a scantool into the connector you don't have to worry about them remembering to plug your wire back in.

I can only go off the info that I gave you since I've not done a nav system in that car. Your other option should you not be able to find the reverse wire where I posted would be to look for the same colored wire in the bundle of wires that runs to the back of the car in the drivers kickpanel under the carpet.

Thanks for getting back so quickly. I looked back to the post you made on the reverse; which fuse box are you referring to? The one under the driver's-side dash? Thanks.
