vehicle speed sense wire?

[chiefsalami]

I am considering installing one of the late-model aftermarket DVD/radio/navigation units, which require a vehicle speed sense in order for many of the navigation features to work. Does anyone know where I can tap this signal? Is it available on a wire harness somewhere, such as one going to the cluster?

thanks!

I know that factory radio has speed-sensitive volume control. If you check the wiring diagram for your radio, you should find the correct wire. With the CDR-220, the wire is the one plugged into Socket A, pin 1.

What unit are you looking to put in???The wire you want to tap is under the driver seat...

Also if you are interested i have a One year old Pioneer Avic - N2 that i am selling for cheap...

I was looking at an AVIC-Z1, if I can have a bezel custom made for a decent amount of money. Otherwise, I was looking at a single-DIN unit like the N3 specifically, but for the right price I might consider an N2. Please PM me more details and your asking price.

The speed wire is the gray/pink on the radio connector. The wire under the seat is for reverse.
