got the D1 installed!!!

As for speed signal, it's dk grn w/ white of smaller audio connector.

[kodiakz]

Mark, vss (speed sense) should be dk grn w/ white at cluser or pcm blue plug #21. Parking brake is lt blue at switch or bcm black plug #A31. GMAH is pretty much plug and play as far as onstar is concerned--it should keep onstar intact without any wiring mods. did you connect the 2 purple wires together at 24 pin plug? When you say you can't select a destination, that may well be because the unit is not seeing the correct parking brake signal and won't let you select many items until it is properly connected.

bump, for the "slope" question on my D1

I'm glad KodiakZ is doing mine. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>You're not the only one. I don't even know what they're talking about.

BCM (Body Control Module) is located in the PASSENGER KICK PANEL.

Grats on the intstall .. I wish I did mine myself when I had my D1 installed. (I think I'd have had less of a headache)

[MarK M]

connected the two purple wires and now on-star works! THANK YOU!!!

dont mean to sound stupid but when you say cluster you mean behinde the radio plugs right? also, where would one find the pcm plug... behind the radio as well? same with bcm?

those are the only two wires left and i'm done!

thanks,

[MarK M]

your a life saver Kodiakz, I'll try the two purple wires and then tapping the rest as you mentioned.

I'll keep you posted on the results

[MarK M]

btw, i didnt know that the D1 cannot play DVDs unless you have an external dvd player... that was a dissapointment. however, i didnt get the system for watching dvds; i got it for the rear cam

I have the headrest screens for the DVD, which is ok. nonetheless was still kinda bummed!

[MarK M]

and if the pics i show isnt either of them, can someone take pics as to where i should plug... thank you!

MarK M Couldnt you use your headrest dvd as external dvd and have it come up on front monitor. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Good point! I'm gonna check it out this weekend. I'm sure all i would need is an adaptor of some sort or a spliter.

[MarK M]

someone chime in whos installed similar radios and has gotten the slope to work. Or if you tapped to a different wire for VSS then I have.

Please when posting if you can include a picture.

muchos gracias!

I have heard, what you need to do is find the box behind the radio with the yellow connector, and whack it with a hammer!

OMG, Just kidding! don't get near that thing!

BTW: I got one of those "Carchip" things. I got stopped for 30 min, by a train, on my way to work. I got a "letter of warning" for attendance. So, I printed out the chart that showed it all. They tore up the LOW. They were amazed I could do that...

It even showed that I could not go faster than 98MPH!

[MarK M]

My N2 also doesn't let me select slope as a gauge, I checked the installation manual to find out why awhile ago and it said the vss wasn't connected. But I went into the hardware info while driving and checked on the speed pulse and it was definately working.

If no one knows, I'll try to find out the problem when I install mine in the h3, and let you know. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

same with me... speed pluse works for me and i cant get the slope to work. I'm off tomorrow for MLK, so i think i'll muck around and see if I can get it to work.

[deicustoms1]

Well slope isn't working now. It was working when I had the vss connected to the pink/black wire, I took like a 500ft drive and got nothing for the speed pulse on the n2.

Right now, my vss isn't connected. 8 hours is enough of trying to install the system for one day! I'll try hooking it back up to pink/black tomorrow and see if it wants to work yet...

Is the pink/black wire you tapped into in a hole closest to a corner of that connector? Or is it in furter? Also were did you end up putting your gps antenna.

I stuck mine in the middle back on the roof, right above the rear door. I couldn't seem to find another location that it would look normal, so just curious... </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

for now, mines in the very corner of the dash in the passenger side. But i'm gonna mount mine where fourfourto's is. Just havent got around to it... been lazy!

[deicustoms1]

Hey Mark, I'm about to install my n2 now. I was just wondering if you figured out that slope thing, and if you changed the speed sense from the pink/black wire in the small radio connector to somewhere else.

Also, did you get the lt. green reverse wire in the drivers kick, on the harness to the rear or did you get it elsewhere?

And, I think the d1 has a brain, where did you end up mounting that? anything else I should know before installing it? thanks

[fourfourto]

This is were mine is.
