2006 Jetta VSS Wire

[scotsman]

I am installing an Eclipse AVN6600 into my 2006 Jetta and it says that I need to splice into the vehicle speed pulse signal. Does anyone know where this is located on the new Jettas?

anyone?

alright I have accomplished that problem, but I just turned the unit on to test it and it works great except when I turn the car off and take out my key the radio and screen still stay on.

Does it turn off when you open the door?

you have to turn the display off manually, because they are lame like that

seriously? but what about your sound, does that stay on too?

That's not right, mine stays on until you open the door and then it shuts off. Double check your wiring behind the unit to make sure you it is correct. If it is, just look for another power wire that is syn with the ignition.

alpines have 2 power wires, wire one directly to the unswitched power supply under the dash, and the other to a switched fuse

and last i heard, 2005+ vw's need to have the factory radio installed somewhere in the car, or vagcom diagnostics (and therefore your warranty) don't work
