On Porsche's the tach signal (TN signal) is always purple with a black stripe. You can pick it up at the cluster or at the DME. On your 2000 I believe it is the white plug pin 15 on the cluster and on the DME it should be plug IV #17. You can pick the vehicle speed up at the cluster as well (white plug #16, wht/brn wire). It comes from the ABS computer via the abs sensors wire. It can also be picked up at the DME via the wht/brn wire on plug IV #22.
The speedometer A signal is for things like the speed dependent volume on the radio.

Thanks!!!

Todd, thanks a bunch man, that is EXACTLY the info I was looking for. I should now have the install finished by tomorrow night and be all ready for a PCA tour this weekend. I don't care so much, but my wife wants the car looking and working perfect. :-P

Good luck with the X51, like others, I will be watching your posts very closely as this is the direction I would like to go in the future...
