Pioneer AVIC-N2

[mattdk318i]

I just bought a avic and i love it. I did alot of research before i bought it from a friend(used)
However its got more options than ive ever seen on a DVD/Navigation system and it has come the time to hook up the vehicle speed wire. Does anyone know where i would hook that up too. I was thinking it would have to be a wire out of the ECU harness but i figured id ask here first. The parking brake safety has been hooked up and all that jazz.
Im sure theres always the possibility i CANT hook up the Nav to this age car but id love to be able to.

Paging luke*

TIA guys

Ive looked in there but it doesnt give any instruction on hooking it up to a E30 obviously

damn, well i guess i tried. Where should i look for wiring diagrams for the ECU

[mattdk318i]

could someone confirm that it is BU/YL wire coming from the speedometer speed output into the cruise unit?

Or should i tap into BR/RD going into the back of the OBC?.......

I should prob STFU and just go try it.

You mean something like this? I did not hook mine up, like you said there are things that you will never use. The GPS part of your car will give you perfect reading so I never bothered. Nice unit but I liked the Avic N1 better. Did you get the NavDiscs with the unit?

Actually i got all of the parts, Even the box..... But no nav discs. He rolled his new frontier he had it in and needed the cash.
Any way i can download and burn the maps onto DVD/CD?

I was going to say that I would try tapping into the one from the back of the speedo where the cruise hooks up, but I have no experience.

true, the manual never really gave me any info on whether or not that speed wire will affect the NAV. Because it has a completely seperate hideaway nav box with antenna.

Nice score. I have the N2 in my Astro, but I am pissed off that it does not play .WMA, so I am likely to sell it. Also has poor iPod integration, and the Bluetooth adapter will not show full info for phone calls, so I really don't like it. Plus, my CD changer does not support CD Text, so no labeling unless I feel like manually entering it.

It is a shame you don't have the software. It does even more if you have it.

I do not have the correct disks..I have N1 software. I tried to "unflash" it, then reflashed with N1 software...no go.

I also have a broken N1 screen, so I am gonna try and get it repaired, then dump the N2 altogether.

www.the12volt.com shows a brown/red at the rear axle for VSS. I bet you could get it off the cruise module, but I dunno. Check the diagrams at www.wedophones.com to see if you can find it. I did not hook it up on mine, but that is basically because I don't care.

Glad you like it!
