More info needed -- which wire are you looking for? Like a wire thats "hot" when the key is in the ON position?

This may help. You should be able to grab the Vehicle Speed Sensor wire from the overhead counsol, apearentley the outside temperature sensor uses it to see if the vehicle is moving before updating the temp. reading.

Not sure if this is what I needed

First off thanks to the quick responses. If your like me you want to get the job done accurately and quickly . Anyway, my Explorer sport does not have a center console. I am installing a Pioneer AVIC-F900BT and the instructions call for connecting car speed signal input

here is copy and paste from crutchfields manual download:

(This connection is unnecessary for AVIC-F700BT and AVIC-F701 OBT.
The mobile navigation system is connected here to detect the distance the
vehicle travels. Always connect the vehicle's speed detection circuit. Failure
to make this connection will increase errors in the location display.)

Please let me know any help ....thanks again
