Hey,
I searched and found a few thread's but I'm not 100% sure. Can someone tell me were the easiest place to tap into the VSS wire is? Also if you have any pictures that would be great. It's for a 97 AWD.
I installed an Alpine Navigation which works, but now I need to install the VSS wire. My dealer said he was "waiting" for Alpine.
From my searching I figure it's a grey/black wire located either on the passenger side kick panel or by the foor brake on the driver side.
Any help would be appreciated.

what's the vss wire?
 






Vehicle speed sensor, aka vehicle pulse. It sends pulses to equipment with the vehicles speed info.
 












Finally finished

Just to finish off this thread, I was able to get to the vss wire, which is grey and black, at the back of the instrument cluster. I had to change some blown bulbs, so I decided to make the connection also. There's a write-up on how to take off the instrument cluster for installing indiglo gauges if anyone needs to know.

Hope this info helps someone in the future.
