2007 2008 VSS wire..

[oldpapa49]

Ok all... Just spent a good part of this morning hunting down this famous VSS wire for navigation units.

After following every possible path it can be found in the car..

hehe.. funny..

Ok, Driver side kick panel.. remove the panel (the one on the left under the dash).

Find 2 connectors.. a smaller Yellow and a much Larger Gray connector (has a white latch to make it dis-connect).

The gray connector has a Green/White wire and is in the corner of the plug unit (pin 17 if you fine it). But the hard part is that if you do not have factory NAVIGATION (If you have the manufactures navigation a plug with the lonely Green/White wire will be connected to the head unit.) installed by manufacture, you will not have the luxury to get to the wire..So... You must unplug that top connector and pop the bottom one away from the car so you can get to the Green/White wire to be able to splice to it..

That kick panel is clipped to the floor and 2 are by the front edge.

I hope this helps for your navigation needs.

Does vss stand for speed sensor wire? If so, does this allow for the tweaking of the nav system to allow for changes while moving? I hate the lockout on the audio when I'm driving as my wife can never search for anything.

I am going to have a look at this,
Do we just disconnect the gray wire?
Or do we have to splice into it and ground it someplace else?
there must be a simple solution.
I know that with most aftermarket dvd/nav units it's a simple ground wire that is clipped into the parking brake ground wire which can be simply bypassed if you ground it permanantly to the body of the vehicle.

Thats the wire, connect to it, or splice to it and run the wire to the nav radio.
VSS is the speed sensor wire used for nav radios when lost of signal and sometimes to disable video if you move.

I do have the Factory Navigation, so I remove the green/white wire from the plug and splice it into the radio? I am going to look at this in a few minutes, BUT which wire do I splice the green/white wire into?

[peanutsdad]

okay so I have this thing apart now,
so I have the wire at pin 17 isolated,
that is the one I am supposed to splice from correct?
do I splice it into the one directly below it> its light green with a black stripe.

[peanutsdad]

so I remove the green white wire and run it to the nav radio, but TO WHERE ON THE NAV RADIO?

I just read what you are trying to do from another post..

My situation was a 3rd party nav add-on (Pioneer AVIC-Z2) in place of a Factory Radio with 6 CD changer.

If you have the navigation system, this is not for you, you have the grn/wht wire on a plug already connected to your Nav radio.

If you are trying to disable the safety feature maybe the VSS wire on the plug if unplugged (its the only plug with 1 wire on it) might allow movement, but you probably need the parking break sensor fooled.
And it might also be a software issue..

I have no Idea what.. Try Ebay.. look under Chevy Equinox etc nav radios.. They are the same

For the 2008 XL7, there is unique wiring content on the main harness and I/P harness for the Nav radio option. You may be out of luck. I have a 2007 AWD and I use a Tom Tom.
