Need Help With Speed Sensor Wire For Pioneer Navigation System

[BobyYoo]

I have ordered a pioneer navigation system.

I need to know where is the speed sensor wire??

is it ok to use the #53 pin on the ecu ?

also, if anyone know where is the backup wire when we go into reverse gear.

it is for an r32 gts-t

thanks

can't remember the wire for speed. but if you use the APEXI RSM as a guide it will be fine.

as for reverse. drop the light out and note teh colour . find teh same colour wire in the drivers KP and pop the car in and out of reverse (key on - not running.) to verify it. should see +12 when in gear.

hopefully you can get Oz maps for it. (wasn't aware they were relesased out here.)

BobyYoo,

In Canada (from your profile) you should be able to get mapping no prob.

Just be mindful to run the gps sensor to a part of the car that has a clear view to the sky and make sure the earth is good on the unit, if either is not quite right you might run into a few problems.

Just as information for people in Australia looking at doing this - read below.

Pioneer Nav systems ordered from O/S WILL NOT work in Australia for the following reasons

- there is no mapping available compatible with the pioneer

- mapping produced by whereis (as used by most other brands is coded differently for each brand) will not be supported in a Pioneer nav system.

- screen is most likely NTSC not PAL as used in Aust (software usually only supports PAL or RGB)

The other point to note is that most Pioneer DVD/ NAV systems are region coded from the factory. Aust ones are zone 4, america zone 1. Unless your unit has been modified from factory (read NO WARRANTY THRU PIONEER AUST) it will not play Australian release DVD's.

So, having said that, and dont think i am being to smart, but if anyoone does decide to buy this type of unit from america for use in Australia, I hope you get a good deal, as the unit will be mostly useful as a CLOCK for your car.
