A friend of mine has recently bought a Lincoln Towncar Limo. He imported this from California. We installed a navigation system from Alpine. Everything is working as it's supposed to be, but I can't find the wire with tacho signal. According to dealer info it should be a BLACK/ grey wire behind the radio or dashboard controls, but there is no BLACK/ grey wire in these locations.

Can anyone tell me if there is a tacho wire in this car.

Lincoln Town Car - model 2001 - 4600 cc - 151 kW

Navigation unit : Alpine NVE-N077PS

*4 There is an ignition coil for each of the eight cylinders. The closest one to the front of the motor on the drivers side has GREEN / WHITE or GREEN/ YELLOW wire. *5 The PCM is located just to the drivers side of the brake master cylinder.
