Hey guys, so I got a Pioneer Avic-F700BT with the Ipod A/V cable for my Maxima. Can't wait to get it in, but had a question on the install. Does anyone know how I can find the VSS wire in my maxima for the Nav? I've installed plenty of HU's and screens, but I've never done one with Nav and am lost as far as the VSS goes. Any help would be greatly appreciated. And here's a link for those of you who haven't seen the thing, its awesome full touchscreen, Navigation, Bluetooth with advanced voice controls, Sat/HD ready, Ipod control (including music videos, Youtube videos, and podcasts), has USB and SD car inputs, and the best part, its completely hackable seeing as it runs WinCE!

hey man pm dj420 he knows alot of stuff about maximas

good call, not sure how knowledgable about 6th gen's he is, as he has a 4th gen, but its worth a shot! thanks man

See if you can find a wiring diagram for your car and then go from there. I wonder if the dealership could give you info on something like that.. Nice HU BTW

You could ask pioneer

wouldnt tap know about this?

as MUCH as i HATE to admit it.. you could ask james. i know hes a hack sometimes but hes awesome with electrical. ugh i cant believe i even said it

If you were not so far away, I would help you out. Like I siad before though, if the NAV system requires you to hook up the HU to the cars VSS, then your gonna have to find a wiring scrematic for your car and then look for the wire somewhere under the dash. The hardest part is finding the wire if its buried in a bundle of wires.

I just found this. See if this helps you any.

What he said.. i was gonna say it .. he just beat me too it. haha

also found this:

NISSAN, MAXIMA, 2004, Speed Sense
Green or brown wire
Location:
Unified Meter and A/C Amp, pin 26
Note:
The Unified Meter and A/C Amp is the first module below the display in the dash.


also, does your HU play DVDs. If so, are you planning on bypassing the emergancy brake sensor so you can watch while driving?

No, it doesn't play DVD's but it does take any kind of video input, so I have a 32GB SD card that I can load digital copies onto and my ipod as well, which will play with the A/V cable. As far as the bypass goes, I found the Software bypass info and hardware bypass info on Avic411.com, so I think i'm going to do the software bypass rather then the hardware bypass. Another one of the reasons I love it, its fully hackable, can make it do and show anything thanks to the WinCE it runs in the background.

Kristen, I wouldn't let James touch my car for anything lol. The electrical isn't the problem, I can do the install, its just the location of the VSS that I need to locate. its not required for the install, but it makes the nav much more accurate and adds things like onboard Speedo and speedtrap camera warnings.

Thanks for the help guys, I'm going to check out the 6thgenmaxima.org now

Check out the FSM's it should be located in there. I have a link to it in the Nissan section.

factory nav in your car or no? the VSS should be inside of one of your harness wires i belive it is pink but do not hold me to it i can check when i get home tonight but not right now try going to actually fuckit gimmie a lil while i will checlk on my work comp between checking paper work i will have an answer within a half hour

check out this link it should help you out man if not i can do somemore digging tonight for you

i fail i didn't read brads post but yes it sohould be in a radio connector for cars with factory nav

yea, but I have no factory Nav, so i'm thinking worst case i'm going to have to run a wire to under the cluster....but hopefully not. hopefully the info on that link will work

wire is there reguardless it may be in a plug that the end is taped down but it is there man

sweet, I can't wait to get this thing in!

James Multulski???????

that'd be him lol

Motulski and yes him lol

why whats the issue

oi....lol nothing good kid but a lazy kid lol. I was friends with him before he fell off the earth. I havn't heard from him in a year almost.

hes a scumbag. end of story.

he's a goof lol.

So my F700 came in yesterday, haven't installed it yet, but it doesn't come with the VSS hookup, which only comes in the F900, so I'm looking into how to wire it up using it anyway.

Installed it today, without the VSS which there is no way to use. Bypassed it so video and Nav config function while driving, and moving on to software hacks tomorrow! I'll have pictures soon, even though my dash no longer matches because I had done it black, and the dash kit came in the factory silver, which wont get painted until it warms up a little bit and I can spray it outside.

I used to have a ton of mobile apps for Windows CE and Windows Mobile, i have no idea where the disc went.

As for Motulski, i've ran into him a few times, he seems cool to me. He knows a lot about Car audio and Alarm Systems.

i think he wanted me to fix a Car amp for him a little while ago, but i havent talked to him since then.

If you find it, let me know, i'd be very interested in seeing what else I can do with this thing!
