Pioneer Avic N1 in 01-04 TACO's?

Has anyone attempted to install this unit? I'm about to give it a shot and was looking for any advice or tips. I'm really unsure where the VSS wire is loacted so any help is greatly appreciated.

 

I just finished an install in an 09 xrunner of the pioneer avic 900bt unit. Maybe I can help ya with the wires you're trying to locate? by VSS do you mean the speed sensor?

 

yes I'm worried about the speed sensor parking brake and reverse wires not sure where they are and where I should splice into them. Any info is greatly appreciated.

 

ok..on my 09:

The speed sensor wire was accessible on the drivers side fuse box. (below and to the left of the steering wheel). The wire was purple with a white stripe. In the fuse panel you should see one plug that is black. The rest are white.

The parking break wire is green with a yellow stripe. There are actually 2 wires meeting that description in the fuse box and both are in 18 pin plugs. You're looking for the one that is in pin position #5 and should be in the left hand side of the fuse box.

I hope this helps! (But remember this is based on my 09. I know this layout was the same on the 08's)

 

Thanks for the info i will keep that in mind.

 

Do i still need to do that if I have had the latest mod done .....board soldiering?

 

Hi, goin3d
I have a question, how much is it for the wire harness connect from the new head unit to the exisitng OEM wire harness? and also how much are they??

 

Thanks, the basic wire harness is it the one that you hook up from the OEM harness to the new Pioneer stereo wire harness?
Also the PAC will work on the after market stereo with the steering wheel control, am I right?
How much will be the PAC that will fit on the 09? can you give me some link ithat I can get it on line?

 

Well finally got around to getting it installed. Install went fairly easy just taking everything out was the hardest part. Just FYI incase you have a bypassed AVIC N1 you have to ground out the parking break wire off the unit even if you've done the latest bypass. Thanks for the info and replies.
