Im installing my nav system and cant find a speed pulse sensor wire, any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

I got this from another member in a PM.

 

Yeah thats the correct wire. I used that one also.

 

By gauges do you mean the climate control? Like the a/c and stuff? Because theres a green/white wire that goes to the old radio as well as one that does to the DIC buttons.

 

Well sorry but that wire into the controls isnt the VSS wire, im outa luck here ive tried numerous wires with no prevail. Ive tried the green/white that goes to the speedo and the DIC and nothing still says its not connected. My car is in pieces right now i need help badly.

 

The wire that is the green and white wire that goes into the speedometer cluster is the right wire. Thats the one I used for my avic-d1 did you tell the sensor to reset and give it time to calibrate? Its not something instant at least it wasnt on my pioneer it took driving around for quite awhile then it finally callibrated and havent had a problem since.

 

Yah i have found my error, i never gave it enough time to calibrate, what threw m off was when i first connected it my car on the screen wouldnt stop moving and just drove off into the distance, while the reall car was in my garage :P also i have found several other wires that have VSS, B9 in the radio wires seems to have it as well, it the Low speed GMLan wire i believe and is green of sorts.

 

Do any of you have the onstar hooked up to your Pioneer units?

 

on the avic, you really dont have to hook up the wire... if you just reset the system itll figure it all out...

 

Yeah the alpine one works without the wire as well, but will work alot better with it hooked up. Plus i want all the features you get when its hooked up.


And I didnt get onstar in my vehicle.

 

I found with mine it wasnt very accurate without it hooked up.

No I dont have onstar.

Taro-Glad you got it working!

 

Ok well after talking to lots of people including My dealer and there machanics, i have found the actull VSS wire. I have tried all the wires behind the speedo and none are a true VSS wire, one gives a speed rating but its not accurtate. The only really VSS wire goesinto the ECU and its yellow at pin 18. Most GPS units work without it anyways so i havnt hooked mine up yet, hopefully oneday i will.
