Help with after market Pioneer AVIC X940BT

[jimgfl]

Trying in install a Pioneer AVIC X940BT having problems with wiring. Does anyone know where the Speed sensor wire is on the FR-S? Have to connect the Pioneer Pink Car speed signal input wire to it.

Also there are two orange wires on the Toyota harnesses, one on the big connector and one on the other small connector. Which one do I connect to the pioneer orange wire or do I connect both?

And one last question, where do I connect the blue wire on the Metra - Antenna Adapter?

Thanks!

Be sure to post if you figure out how to use the stock Mic and USB/Aux inputs with your Pioneer unit. I have a 920bt that I plan on switching over once all the kinks are worked out.

Thanks. Now all that's left is the microphone.

When I get back to my shop I can try and look up the speed sensor wire for you on direchtechs or installogy(paid subscription wiring sites) for the orange wire, one is positive dimmer trigger one is negative, I might be able to find out which one it is for you but it's pretty easy to find out during install, just Hook up one of them and see if the dimmer switch dims the radio, if not try the other one.
The blue wire on your antennae adapter is a remote wire to tell the antennae to turn on, there should be a blue and a blue/white wire on the radio harness, blue is amp turn on and blue/white is the one you want.

These should work for you, I'm not 100%. I work sales at a car audio shop so I have a good amount of knowledge on this stuff and have done installs before, but I'm not an installer. I can double check with some of my guys when I get back to work but right now I'm sitting at an audi dealer getting a radio code programmed.

What are using to hide the gaps on the sideof the headunit when you install?

or aerpro FP9016 which has a DIN pocket and the side ears too. This would be for a single DIN installation normal head unit or flip out single DIN screen.

I'm planning to install the X940BT as well. Anyone have any luck getting the mic to work?

when i finally getting around to receiving and installing mine i'm just gonna pop the stock mic out and put the new one in the same place so it has the same oem look to it. :P hope it works! cause that's the plan at least...

Thanks phanguy! I've subscribed to this thread, so I'll be sure check back.

Where are you guys installing your GPS antenna?

im not installing one of these on my car, however when I do them at work I usually put them in the front passenger corner of the windshield. This location will work fine for our cars, the only cars I sometimes run into problems with are a few Mercedes and Rovers which have heated front windshields using thin metal strips running through the windshield which can cause some interference.

If you want to put it somewhere else just make sure there is no metal blocking it. I did a radar detector in a customers FR-s about a month and half ago and I was able to put the GPS antennae for that under the rear deck lid and didnt run into any signal problems so that would probably be an option also.

May not be relavant as I bought and installed a JVC unit, but I routed my mic up to where the oem mic is located as well. Popped out the existing mic tried to find some way to have mine behind the oem mic cover. Sadly my mic is somewhat akwardly shapped and can't really fit in cleanly. So the mic is attached to the old mic to hold it in place. The one person i've called said that all they heard was wind(you may have more luck). So i've resorted to just popping off the cover and having the mic stick out from the top lining when make/recieve a call until i can find a more permanent solution for it.

And in regards to gps antenna location. I stuck mine behind my headunit on the metal bar and it hasn't had any issues with getting reception (but again, different unit). So it may be a clean solution if people that don't want to stick it under the windshield on the dash or route it around to another location in the car.

Ever figure out what the answer is?

you want to bypass the speed sensor so you can use the navi/dvd while in motion.

if you dont know how to repin your harness i suggest you order this kit.

or you can do it yourself. plenty of instructions on you tube. pretty simple to do.

Were you ever able to look up the VSS wire and reverse wire? I have the 920bt and already have the override done to that so I can use the speed sensor for more accurate GPS plotting and other features yet still allow my passenger to enter destinations and all that fun stuff.

I am going to try to do my install over the xmas break if I can find the time (And all parts are in since I'm waiting on a backup camera). Anyway, I appreciate the help on the wire locations.

Actually, I might have found the answer in another thread:

http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...t=speed+sensor

Looks to be pin 17 of the 28 pin harness. Wire color Pink/Green.

I'll post back once I've gotten around to doing the install to verify if that was it or not.

Yes its the Pink/Green. Same wire I used here: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15239 to bypass the factory nav

Ahh Yes. I remember reading that thread a while back. But I forgot you mentioned and showed the VSS wire so well in that. Thanks again.

I didnt read through all the posts but Reverse wire should be pin #2 on the 28 harness and the VSS is pin #17 on the 28 pin harness. Pin #9 on the 10 pin harness should be the remote turn on for the factory amp. Power Antenna wire from the HU should hook up to the blue wire from the antenna adapter.
