STONEMEADOW Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 NEED HELP. I AM INSTALLING A GPS NAV SYSTEM IN A 2006 MINI COOPER S AND NEED TO KNOW THE WIRE COLOR AND LOCATION OF THE VSS(VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR)WIRE. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Drillslinger Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 DOUBLE CHECK THIS!! But I think it's the same wire that the JCW Intake gets it's signal from. If so, then it'll be the white/red wire... NOT the red/white As I mentioned, double check before you cut it I'll go ahead and check around and will let you know if I get an answer.

Drillslinger Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Found this somewhere else: [ QUOTE ] there is a green/yellow wire that goes along the passenger side to the BC-1 computer that has the vehicle speed sensor signal on it. It is battery voltage (12-14 volt square wave with a frequency/pulse that indicates rate of speed. Believe it is 50% duty cycle. [/ QUOTE ] Once again, not 100% but something else to look into Also, this was from a US site, so adjust "Sides" accordingly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattRichter Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 I tested one of the Green/yellow wires, and no go. Any other suggestions? Matt PS, I think the red/white for the JCW box is an RPM lead, not a Vss signal. But I did find a red/white signal that appears to be vehicle speed. I just wish I knew where it started and where it goes to! It is a square wave that goes between zero and Vbatt with a 50% duty cycle. It's in the same bundle of wires next to the right hand side frame rail. You have to take out the frame rail cover to find the bundle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattRichter Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 OK, I made a boo boo. It's not a red/white wire, it's a yellow wire with a thin green line on it. So the quoted post above was close.... But I still don't know where it comes from, or where it goes. Anyone know where to get Mini Cooper schematics? Thanks, Matt ps, the attachement is a photo of the wire..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dxtopher Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 (edited) I am trying to find a speed signal wire as well for an '05 MINI Cooper S. Has anyone confirmed the location of this? Thanks. Edited September 10, 2008 by dxtopher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
