So i just picked up my AVIC-D3, navigation, dvd, ipod, bluetooth, and all(best easter gift iv ever gotten). And i opened the box and started reading the installation manual and it all seems easy enough but one thing that boggles my mind. The navigation unit has to be connected to a wire under the hood, or behind the glove box (I dont know where it is yet) its a wire that will tell the navigation unit if i am accelerating and at what speed. So that when it displayes where i am it is more accurate. Now, my question is, WHERE IS THIS WIRE. it dosnt have a name i dont think, but ill be checking my chiltons manual,(which i dont think has it) and i dont know where to look. Has anyone expierienced this or possibly know where i could find a wire that would supply the nav with that information???


Any help would be appreciated, and when i install it ill try to make a DIY for the unit and ill have plenty of pics

Thanks in advance

You can tap your RPM and Speedo wire behind the guage cluster, by T-tapping the cables the cluster plugs into or you can locate the screw on the back of the cluster, and tap and insulate a wire off that.

have you found the wire yet? there's a reason i'm asking heheheh.

do you have any pics of where to tap into? i'll be having a friend help me out. we're not going to install it until after the summer when we take the whole dash apart and everything is ready to be thrown in so i won't be of much help.

that wire is not only for the purpose of where you are, but it is also so the DVD mode is disabled if you are moving. Just some info.
