2008 F350 Vss wire, had factory NAV already

Posted Jul 04, 2007 · 20:24 UTC#1

Im looking for the VSS wire for my 2008 F350

The truck came with factory NAV so im assuming the VSS wire is in the wire harness already. I have the stereo out and I am now looking for the location of the wire or the color code.

Im looking to install a AVIC-Z2 ( hopefully bypass with found before i install it)

Also, does anyone know if factory NAV antenna can be used with AVIC-Z2 NAV.

Any info would be great.

THANK YOU

Andrew

I doubt that you can use the factory nav antenna, I have no idea about the VSS audiovox doesn't have much for an 08 yet

the stock antenna is probably under a panel that will hinder reception for the avic. part of the reason why factory nav sucks so bad. as fpr the vss, 08 is a whole new platform so there is a chance there wont be a vss. i did a d3 in an 08 F450 the other day, and it worked fine without the vss

Doesn't the VSS have to be hooked up in order for the truck to find itself. As per reading other forums, the GPS doesn't contact satellites all the time and that it rely's on the VSS for navigation

the d3 has pretty good learning capability without it
