Like Kicker said you dont need it. Without it you will still get to use all the navi features but you might be 50-75ft off.

so my avic-n1 is in, but the navi seems to be off. i am starting to wonder if i should hook up the speed pulse wire. in the instructions it says that if you dont it might be off a little. my problem is that i finally got my position right, but when the arrow shows the way i am going which is straight, for some reason as i drive down the road the street is going sideways across the screen, sometimes it is almost straight, but most of the time it looks like i am driving sideways. anyone know what the deal is???

If your faceplate is detachable or flip-up, clean the copper contact points with a q-tip soaked in alcohol before you go after a new one. I have had problems with internal button contacts on older Pioneer gear (faceplates, remote units for older processors), however. Dunno if they've improved in that regard. Can't recommend taking the face apart to clean internals to a newbie, unless you're brave. |
