FORDEDGE07 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Hey if anyone could help id appreciate it. Ive got a 2007 edge installing jvc nav system wiring says to install wire to speed sensor. Does anyone know how to do this or were i can find a speed signal i guess it uses that for positioning of satellites or something THANKS !!

end Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 What brand of harness do you have? The instructions for your harness should tell you which wire is VSS coming out of the harness. Also if you are not using a harness (yikes) let me know, I can check the wiring diagrams. Lastly, VSS is not used for positioning of the satellites. It just sends a signal when the vehicle is moving which helps some nav units determine your position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FORDEDGE07 Posted February 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Lets see i have a schosche harness for fords directly to jvc head unit. no splicing Ive had alot of people tell me its in the pcm harness but wow theres three harnesses there and dont feel very good splicing into those doesnt that void warranty.

dehydorn Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 I also could use a little help on this, I am in the process of installing a Pioneer AVIC-700BT and need to know where the speed sensor wire is. I didnt have factory Nav so theres nothing in the factory harness i can tap in to..i don't think... also any tips on finding the Ebrake sensor and easiest way to tap into the reverse lights would be sweet!

dehydorn Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 I found this post which was uber helpful http://www.fordedgeforum.com/index.php?sho...eed+sensor+wire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
end Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Sorry I can't helpguys, I couldn't find the VSS wire in the wiring diagrams I had. I didnt print out absolutely everything. I found the VSS from the instructions in my harness: The overpriced AXXESS AFDI-THX-01. I also had factory Nav. Lastly, I'm using the Pac TR7 trigger for video bypass, so I never needed to find the E-brake wire... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FORDEDGE07 Posted February 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 All you have to do on e brake switch is ground it to something. So you can watch movies or change nav functions while moving thats what i did on my jvc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FORDEDGE07 Posted February 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 That link is great but theres three harnesses on the pcm and one harness has two purple orange wires aghhh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
end Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 On newer Pioneer, Alpine, Clarion stuff, enabling video is no longer as simple as grounding the ebrake wire..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dehydorn Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 yeah the old easy way of relocating the mute wire and grounding it with the parking brake wire doesn't work on my AVIC-700bt still waiting on someone finding a bypass option for that.... as of now i just need to find the parking brake sensor so i can ground it there.....
