I am installing a Car Stereo/NAV model JVC KD-NX5000 in my 2003 Jeep Liberty Renegade. It needs to be connected to the VSS wire, brake light wire, and reverse light wire. I have found documentation on the Brake light wire here:

However, I need to find the VSS (Speed Sensor) and reverse light wires. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the reply! However, I successfully installed the JVC KD-NX5000 yesterday. From that install, I can provide this feedback in case anyone else attempts this:
VSS Wire: I downloaded a 2003 Jeep Liberty Service Manual (Official Chrysler version http://pdftown.com/PDF-Jeep-Liberty-2003-Service-Manual.html ), and found out that the VSS is really Light GREEN/ YELLOW and located at C1 pin 20 of the BCM. Several sources, including JVC, said like you it was Dark GREEN/ Orange. When that failed, I resorted to downloading the official service manual and sifting through wiring diagrams! Fun times!
Parking Brake: Easy enough, partially remove the center console, and there's only one wire running to the switch attached to the parking brake.
Reverse or backup lights: I too found via the service manual the color combo you stated, but could not find it up front. I resorted to running the wire to the rear, drivers side tail light harness. It was a pain running the wire under the molding, but not nearly as bad as I first thought.
Over all, this was the hardest install I have ever done, and I've installed many car stereo systems over the years. Thank God I have an electronics background. It still amazes me that this NAV system requires these three atypical wire connections! I understand why they say they are needed, but portable GPS/NAV systems like TomTom do not need them...
That being said, this system was worth the hassle and rocks!

Sorry, you can NOT post a reply.
