like a battery isolator style relay? Something like 100 amp?

Ron · 09-11-2011, 12:20 AM

I have a question. My Sony XNV-770BT has two wires labeled SPEED IN and REVERSE IN. Where are those supposed to be connected?

reverse wire is to connect to a power wire that only turns on when you are in reverse, so it can tell the reverse camera to turn on if you have one, eg, the reverse tail lights power wire.

The speed wire is to connect to a speed sensor to help with navigation when your satnav signal is in and out - if you have one.

No just a regular relay, just make sure it is rated for what you want to run.

Equinox · 09-11-2011, 07:33 AM

yeah I did a little research, and I ran 10 AWG wire to the center console, and mounted a relay and 30A inline fuse under the main cup holder, so I can just pop it off if I ever need to check the fuse. I wanted to use 8 AWG but radio shak stopped selling 8awg by the foot in my area, and just had spools of 30' 10 and 12awg wire

Where do you normally grab your wire?

Thank you! I wired the cam's and HU wire to the green/white cable that goes to the reverse bulb, works like a charm.

For the SPEED IN wire.. should I just tap into the yellow cable on pin18 of the car's audio harness?

That's the one.

the idea is so the radio knows how fast you are traveling when the radio can't see the gps satellite. This way, gaps in your gps signal will be seamless, since it will just use your speed as a guide for where you are on the map until the gps signal returns. Driving through a tunnel, otherwise, would have your car's icon sit at the beginning of the tunnel on the map, and then pop onto the otherside once you're out of it and can see the satellite again.

Thanks Equinox! I'll go wire that right now

One last question, would you happen to know where to connect the 3.5mm jack that comes out of the axxess aswc?

Ron · 09-12-2011, 01:26 PM

Darn.. guys besides the big yellow cable for 12v I dont have any other yellow one... there is nothing connected on the spot for pin 18..

Edit:

edit - installation manual has "remote in*6" listed on the radio, and no clue what it is on the installation manual. Damn you Ron, and your Sony head unit's installation manual.

Ron · 09-12-2011, 03:34 PM

Thanks Equinox, I installed the 3.5mm jack on the "remote in" jack of the sony HU. I got it all configured now and it's working perfectly!! I am gonna leave the speed signal wire disconnected for now but I need to figure it out eventually because I think the boost controller I got also feeds from it.

Equinox · 09-12-2011, 03:42 PM

Funny thing is, crutchfield says Axxess and PAC work with your Sony, but according to Crutchfield neither work with my Kenwood DNX9140

haha yeah I saw that remote in, did a quick google search and found out that it works for the SWC... The only thing missing is the freaking speed signal wire!!
