Hi Guys - think I may have bought the wrong model of RAV4! Looking at Leather Seats and now gonna fit a Cruise Control

One of the things that I need to know is where I can tap into the VSP signal. I am guessing there is a couple of places and would ideally like the one that does not involve getting behind instrument panel.

To confirm, Model is a RAV4 2005 (so 4.2 'facelift') VVT-i Manual.

TIA,

Hoovie

@hoovie,

you will find that on the 18 pin radio connector (the biggest one), the speed pulse is on pin 16.

have a look at my [url="http://www.bit4net.com/files/rav4"]Website[/url] you will find a TNS200 install doc. page 19 will give you some info.

i have used this connection for my Kenwood KCA-G520 and was working fine.

have fun,
bt

Ah - that is nice and simple

Makes sense there should be one there as the On-Board computer has an Ave Speed function

I had to pick up the VSP (Honda term) last time for their Sat -Nav unit I installed in my HR-V. Thanks for the link

getting the radio head out isn't a big thing, i do that well under a minute. just need the right tools

Any tips on how to retreive the 10mm bolts that secure it in place when they fall down?? I am down to my last two

Have you got a dash full of bolts???

Put some blu tac inside the socket and pull your tonque out - slightly to one side like Shaun the sheep does.

i release those bolds and use long pillars to remove them. this works fine. so my tools box for this job is.

allen key
long socket
long pillars

thats all

oh, yeah a steady hand.

Try magnetising your socket, ie stick it to a magnet a couple of hours before using it.
