about to install it tomorrow.

i guess the reverse wire i need to tap is green & white and behind the driver's kick panel right? cuz i have a camera and would like it to turn on at the right times.

also i don't have the camera with me so i have a Q. do i have to run it from where i'm going to install it back to th HU or can i just hook it into the hu and run it later? what kind of line is it? rca and a power wire?

the speed sensor one i was told(pink & blue) is in the guage pod or on the ECU. what is easier to get access to?

where should i put the GPS antenna? rear deck?

any other tips or thoughts?

 

Reverse wire...yes it's in the kick panel. Def. hook that up and run it to the headunit.

VSS is probably easier behind the cluster..make sure you tape the correct harness because there are two pink& blue wires back there on two harnesses.

GPS antenna you can either just stick it on top of the headunit or do what I did..mount it on the dash board behind the clock closest to the windshield. These two options work because you will have the VSS wire hooked up and it won't need the GPS signal 100% of the time.

 

any tips on which pink and blue wire is the VSS in the guage cluster?

so the gps antenna it will still get a decent signal inside my dash? i'd prefer it hidden. and would rather not have it on my dash...

link to taking out the clutser? i took out my 4th gen's i assume it's similiar.

thanks for all the help!

 

It's the one that's behind the speedometer.

that should help a LOT.

 

your rock. thanks so much!

 

Despite what Some people may say (he knows who he is) Its the center Brown plug for the VSS.

 

LOL ....can ya give the guy a break?

 

NevAr !!

 

lcd backlight is bad. this is no good. can barely see the lcd. suggestions?

Bring it back to the shop. It falls under express exchange and youll have a brand new one in less than a week.

 

Don whats the VSS wire for an 05 altima with bose? My assumption is that it IS the pink wire in the 3 wire harness, the only issue is that we're not getting any signal from that wire into the HU... any suggestions? Tap behind the cluster?

 

Pink in the Radio harness is what Ive always used.

 

Is this the same altima I saw?

I suspected earlier that it had no resistor or diode (lol i'm a nooob) like the eclipse's on the VSS wire on the Pioneer...but supposedly it wasn't there to begin with.

 

Ya that one. There wasn't one on the wire on the other alti I did either, and his worked perfectly. I think somethings fubar'd with dudes car.

 

I would agree, Ive done several of the Altis including my neighbors and that wire worked everytime..

Ya sure it's not an '06?

 

100% sure (I just checked). What wire is it on the 06's?

I wouldn't be surprised if somethings messed up in his car, there's wiring all over the place from the angel eyes, lol but who knows.

 

Databus .

 

Did you forget I'm a newb? What that?

 

Theres no actual wire for it.

 

Oh. Well his is an 05 so the wire was there, ah well, I'll tap behind the cluster eventually I s'pose.

Thanks.

 

Just make sure and have him check the build date..

 

If its a later build there will be no vss wire that can be tapped at all?

 

Still a n00b huh?
