  Hi all

 I found this website two days ago, when I was doing search on how to bypass the e-brake for my in-dash TV/Monitor (I had a clarion).  Thanks very much for the info you have provided.  I stayed up whole night on Sat night, just to read the post here (It's like finding an encyclopedia on car :-).

  My next project will be installing the GPS receiver (Pioneer AVIC-9DVD). In doing that, I need to connect it to the VSS wire. Can someone provide me information about the VSS wire of my car (location, any extra relay that I need to connect to it ??).

  My car is 1998 Mercedes Benz E320. Everything is OEM (Speaker, stereo). THanks very much.
