Im trying to install the new Eclipse AVN2210p MKll navigation system and I am wondering if anyone know where the speed sensor cable is located at on a 2000 Maxima SE. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

 

Not sure how much different the 2000 is from the 1999, but I had to tap into the cable behind my instrument cluster. I don't recall the color of the cable though. I'm sure someone like Don can tell you though.

 

I appreciate the info. I just enden up getting the pioneer avic d3 installed. thanks again.

 

For future searches, it's pink with a blue stripe behind the instrument cluster.

 

Well, there are 2 wires behind the instument cluster that are pink with a blue stripe. 1 plugs in behind the temp guage, and the other plugs in behind the tach. I dont see any that plug in behind the speedometer, which is where i would think it would plug in at.

 

You may want to search around the internet for a Field Service Manual PDF for your car. That is where I got the info for my '99 Maxima.

From my FSM:
The vehicle speed sensor provides a voltage signal to the combination meter for the speedometer. The voltage signal is sent
* to combination meter terminals (2) and (4) for the speedometer
* from terminals (1) and (2) of the vehicle speed sensor.
The speedometer converts the voltage into the vehicle speed displayed.

Then I look at the wiring diagram for the combination meter and I see 2 wires coming from the VSS to the combination meter. They are BR/W (Brown with White stripe) and LG/B (Light Green with Black stripe), but I also see another wire output that is P/L (Pink with Blue stripe, as mentioned above) that says it goes "To EC-VSS, AT-A/T, EL-ASCD, HA-A/C,A" - so naturally I am confused.

So if P/L is the wire to tap into, what are the BR/W and LG/B wires for? I feel like such a n00b.

 

The wire color is definitely pink/blue. I don't recall which harness it is though, hopefully someone can chime in.

 

it's the one that you didn't do last time.
I believe it's the center harness

 

I tapped into the pink/blue wire in the center harness and it seems to be working just fine. I gotta say, the Pioneer D3 is an amazing unit for the price. I am 100% satisfied with it.

 

When I said "someone" will chime in, I knew it would be you

 

was hoping it would have to be done...since he's usually the one with the smart remarks....he is failing as of LATE...Must be getting old.

 

Bah, daily grind is getting to me. I'm losing my edge.

 

incase anybody is wonderin the pioneer d3 will work with out tapping into the VSS however if u do tap inot it u get a host of features such as REAL time tracking i tapped mine in my 07 maxima se non bose, its behind the instrument cluster, pin 26 on the harness, the wire is brown. once again i highly recommend if u have the d3 u do this simple procedure to benefit from all the avic's cool features. but its no required for the nav to work, just makes it extremely accurate

 

I tapped into the pink/blue wire that I saw coming from behind the Gauges in my 1999 Max. However, when I was driving in a car garage yesterday, I was notified that GPS lost its signal. It didnt show me moving, even though I was driving through the garage. Anyone know what happened?

 

Where is your antenna located?
