speed detector wire

06TRDbama · 11-28-2007, 07:41 PM

I got my eclipse navi/dvd unit in recently, and everything worked out great, but i cant find the damn speed sensor wire. i have seen several people say its the purple with white stripe in the black plug under the fuse box or behind the glove box, but i can not narrow it down. i can see several purple/white wires, but only one black plug below the fuse box and it doesnt seem to have the right number of pins. behind the glove box, there is ABSOLUTELY NO slack in the wires to splice into....any help/pics/suggestions? thanks guys

I think thats a question to take up with pb2themax , I know that he has an Eclipse Nav/DVD unit. Hope that helps.

Speed Sense purple/white fuse box, black 13 pin plug, pin 5

Note: Also found at the ECM behind the glove box, second plug from the bottom, pin 8

this will work for any headunit requiring a speed wire

thanks for the replies guys but i have seen that stuff many times...i was hoping for a little more insight. has anyone else had the problem? like i said, there is only one black plug near the fuse box and it has like 8 or 9 pins...everything behind the glove box is extremely tightly wrapped up...i will give it another look tomorrow..thanks again

find the second plug from the bottom behind the glove box, pull it out, and then just use a vampire tap on that wire. may need to cut back some tape/protectant to get some room to tap it.

thanks man...i didnt think of actually disconnecting any of these plugs..the reverse wire was easy and didnt require it. worked like a charm..

What's the point of connecting it to the speed wire? Navigation purposes?

jhodge83 · 11-29-2007, 08:09 PM

it helps the detailing of the NAV and w/ my n1, it has a setup for digital gauges on screen, so it'll give u the mph down to the tenth.

EDIT: for the pioneers, its not a necessity, but it helps

lsocoee · 11-29-2007, 08:20 PM

I figured you could use the GPS for that.

yea its not a necessity with any of them i dont think, but makes it more accurate, plug mine gives me a "check speed pulse wire" message every now and then
