I'm installing a Pioneer AVIC-N2 and wondering if the GPS will still work if i don't connect VSS. Or is there any other alternative, since I can't locate the VSS.

vss is only available on the CAN-BUS or via one of the wheel speed sensors.
Reverse wire is Dark GREEN/ Purple in the drivers kick panel going to the rear of the vehicle.

AVIC-N2 Install. I just got everything together and the unit doesnt turn on. I hooked everything up and grounded everything that is needed. Could this be from a bad ground??? I also noticed that the wires in the harness are missing some wires to go with them, (some wire connections arent connecting to each other), they arent lined up in the correct terminal. I lost, need some guidence please.

there also isnt' a switched wire in the radio harness, go to the lower left lighter and grab the pink / YELLOW to go to the red wire of the avic.

You have two lighter sockets one on the left and one on the right, the one on the left is switched power

The map has two ways of pointing, always north and the way that makes sense.
there's the little RED / white diamond on the bottom right corner of the screen, press that and see if it keeps you pointed up ------------- Shaughn Murley

No...no...no.....I will be driving north, and the arrow points to the east.....?!?!?! It's not pointing they way the vehicle is pointing. It thinks i'm driving down the road sideways, the arrows sideways, and it gets really confused when i got through intersections.......?

Would it be due to not hooking up the speed sensor......why would that effect directional (compass) of GPS status? ?

Another question.....Can I find the VSS by removing the gauge cluster and using tapping into one of the wires that gives the speedometer pulse, or is that way too easy for it to be true...? Since I dont want to have to drive around while re-tapping/testing wires.

There is not a useable speed pulse in that car. The CAN bus system controls that signal. If you are in SO CAL maybe we could use you for testing and get you a speed pulse. HOw important is this to you?

I don't have VSS hooked up to my AVIC-D1 in my 2006 Jetta, I have no nav errors. There is something else going on.

I was driving to work today and it tracks me fine, the arrow doesn't point the direction my truck is pointing. I took out the disc while i was driving and put it back in....then all of a sudden it was pointing the correct way and tracked fine for about 5 miles till it slowly became more and more "off". On my way home it tracked fine, but it showed the arrow going backwards on the opposite side of the freeway: and it would kinda jump every 20 or so yards. Like it kept re-updating itsposition, cause it didnt know that it was moving (no VSS hooked up) How would that effect the arrow/truck positioning. It shows north to be north, so thats fine, but is the VSS what allows it to "stay with" the correct direction of the truck direction. I thought the hideaway unit and its position in installing it was how it know which direction facing.....?
