hey everyone, dont know how many ppl have the avic d2, i was wondering if anyone that did hooked up the speed sensor wire and was it a pain in the butt? can the ebrake sensor just be grounded like anyother deck as well?

hmm look for a bypass for it.. i have it on my car so that i can have my passengers watch tv while i dirve and so i can adjust my equalizer with out having to put my e-brake on

thats how i did it on every other deck i installed, but i really wanna know about the speed sensor wire, if anyone knows

speed sensor wire isnt ness. on Pioneer nav screens. itll work off GPS... and as for bypassing its gonna be more than just grounding the wire...

True but I find that on my avic d1 (given mine is older) it is more accurate with the speed pulse wire. I had problems where in some areas it would get confused before I had the speed pulse connected. Its really not hard to do all I did is take apart the spedometer cluster and got the speed wire there which I believe was a green wire with a white stripe.

i'll check it out as soon as i get mine, thanks,

the way to bypass is..u have to install a switch on the ebrake wire. one hooks on to the wire and the other goes to ground. also there is a open whole in the radio harness. insert a ground wire in there and...boom bypassed. i think this works with the d2. i know it does for the d1. its really the same thing...u mite not have to put a switch on the ebrake wire...just ground thoe 2 things mite just do the job.

xtremeGM

Yeah on the d1 all you have to do is ground the ebrake wire. I would assume the d2 is the same.

ok, so its the same as my other deck, cool, im gonna hate taking my cluster of to get the speed pulse wire,

iLLmaTic3s

you are acutally going to do that...have fun with that. i never hook up that speed sense wire. the GPS always picks it up anyway...but have fun.

xtremeGM

Yeah, but its the easiest way. It's really not that hard at all

iLLmaTic3s

yeah on car is easy to take apart the gauges..on other cars...like some newer mercedes n ****...not fun...been there done that...**** sucked...so now im lazy when it comes to that..lol

well i've taken my grand am apart about 50x, and it was easy, the thing i dont wanna do is have it loose when its back in, when i took the dash trim panels off to install my deck, i put them back on and they were a lil loose, i wanna get them factory tight again cause it pisses me off :| no one notices but me, but even then, if i notice it and dont like it that way, i wanna fix it, any ideas anyone?

iLLmaTic3s

well im not to sure how ours comes over. GM used mostly clips to hold in everything dashboard wise. so if its that case....use new ones.

I had a 2004 Grand Am GT1 coupe before my Cobalt SS/SC and its just as easy as the Grand Am. New clips will fix the issue of the pieces being loose.
