new member - few q's about avic-d1
Hello all. I am a new member to this forum. I was told to come here by a good friend. He tells me all my questions can be answered on these forums, so I hope you guys can help me too.
I recently purchased my ABP TL and I just got my Avic-D1 last night. I had a few questions.
1. Where can I connect the Pink Speed Sensor to the car? Is the wire in the car the same color?
2. I also wanted to know if I should ground the E-Brake wire even though it does not bypass the video. I have a external dvd player that I will connect to the unit, but I'm not sure if I should ground the E-Brake.
3. Im not sure if this is true or not, but I heard that there is a empty slot in the Pioneer wire harness and I should insert a wire there and ground it. This will bypass all the video issues. Anybody know anything about this?
Thank you.

1. It's not necessarily the same color. It's different for every car. Try to find a place online with your wiring info.
2. Yes, you'll need to ground the ebrake.
3. Yep, this is what I heard works. I've seen StreetEffectz post it.
Just do a search on "n2 bypass" in the a/v forum.

In my dads benz, he had a avic-n1 and they didnt connect the speed sensor wire at all. So could I not connect that wire at all?? Or will that hurt the location on the navi?

No problem man.
It won't be as accurate without it. It might be a few meters off. It doesn't really make all that big of a difference, but some people want it hooked up so it's dead on.
Try to do some more research on the internet. Or Start a new thread saying what year your model is, and ask where to find VSS wire. I'm still not sure what year car you have.
IF all else fails. Go here:

Lots of installers post there.
