Need help guys... Currently i have a Pioneer AVIC-N3 but i'm told the vehicle dynamics processor is not compatable with the AVIC-N3. Anyone got a good recomendation for a Pioneer head unit that is compatable?

if anyone wants the Pinout of the 2.2L ECM, PM me your email and i will send it to you. You wont be screwed on the VSS signal if you dont mind splicing/tapping into the wires at your ECM.

A buddy of mine has it in his eclipse and i like it a lot... he ripped out his gauge cluster and put an LCD screen in place of it and uses the vehicle dynamics processor as his gauge cluster... looks f'n sweet.

i found a compatible head unit

PIONEER AVH-P6800DVD

here is the info on the VDP

Access to car vehicle statistics with AVG-VDP1

Measure more of your car's performance with the AVG-VDP1

Most new vehicles come equipped with an in-dash speedometer and tachometer, but are they enough? The Pioneer AVG-VDP1 Vehicle Dynamics Processor takes car performance analytics to the next level.

The unit detects a wide range of real-time vehicle performance data, including acceleration, lateral G-forces, estimated horsepower, and torque, in addition to speed and RPM. Additionally, the GPS locator provides current vector information, as well as current location by longitude, latitude, altitude, and distance to destination. The AVG-VDP1 displays the results on a connected Pioneer Audio/Video monitor with smart, full-color graphics that add style to the dashboard.

Six Graphic View Modes
The AVG-VDP1 displays vehicle performance information in sleek, full-color graphics that come in six different modes:

• Analog Mode
Shows the vehicle performance information with graphically presented analog instruments. Select from any vehicle performance setting for any of the three gauges.

• Digital Mode
Shows a wide range of information with numbers and easy-to-follow scales a sleek option that emphasizes the unit's high-tech attributes.

• Cyber Mode
Displays a “computer simulation image” of vehicle another clever option that permits intuitive comprehension of vehicle performance.

• Vehicle Status Mode
Your vehicle performance information is displayed with legible graphics. The graph shows RPM changes on time axis.

• Virtual Mode (Desert or Country)
The graphics resemble a “driver simulation” video game while keeping tabs on basic vehicle performance and current location.

Customizable Graphics
Additionally, gauge background color, text color, and outside ring (bezel) color can all be customized to match your style or the interior of your vehicle. Choose from Red, Blue, Yellow, Black, White and more. Background textures like Carbon Fiber and Brushed Metal are also available. No other system allows such flexibility!

Displayed Information:
• Vehicle Performance: Speed, R.P.M., Lateral G Force, Acceleration, Torque (estimate), Horse Power (estimate), Slope Angle, Angular Velocity, Battery Voltage
• Current Location: Longitude & Latitude, Altitude, Direction, Direction to Destination, Distance to Destination
• Other Information: Date, Time, ODO Meter, Trip Meter, Level Meter, My Record

Performance Recording
Record your performance for playback and review later. When you turn recording on, the system records all of the input data (not just what is being shown in the current view). Replay the data in any view mode, check out your performance at any point during the recording, and even compare different recordings. Use the composite video output to download into a digital camera or VCR for playback anytime.

GPS Capability for off-Road Use
Features like latitude/longitude measurement and the GPS locator are especially helpful in off-road driving. The GPS locator can be set to a particular location, such as campsite, and to return to that location after a day of offroading, the driver merely has to select the designated location. An arrow on screen provides current location and linear distance to the destination. Return to the selected spot without ever getting lost!



Touch Panel Operation
The AVG-VDP1 permits touch panel operation in conjunction with Pioneer touch-screen Audio/Video displays, including AVH-P7500DVD II, AVH-P5700DVD and the AVD-W6210 (Note: Not compatible with Pioneer Navigation Systems, such as AVIC-X1R).

Availability
The AVG-VDP1 is available since May 2005. For further information on costs and availability please contact your Pioneer shop or your local Pioneer office.

lol ya i know... you better hope you have an 07 and can get the metra harness with the VSS in it otherwise your gonna be fucked

i have an 05 and i already have my current avic-n3 tapped into the VSS thanks to my complete wiring diagrms of every wire in 05-06 cobalts. I have it tapped right at the ECM plug

here is a link to where i posted the diagrams at if you want to look at them. The pinout at the connector is the best place i could find to tap the VSS

http://forum.aempower.com/forum/inde...c,21376.0.html

i turned the word document into a jpeg of the connector pin location of the VSS on 05-06 cobalts. its pin 18 yellow wire at the connector on the ECM. So no, no one is f-----. I do a lot of research before i start projects. and those diagrams i have i bought from a company that makes wiring diagrams for all cars. I got them back in 07 when i was installing the AEM F/IC at the time.
