Eclipse AVN in 05 WRX few questions please HELP!!

jmcgovs · 02-11-2006, 06:54 PM

well i recently purchased the Eclipse AVN-5435, and i own a 2005 Subaru Impreza WRX the sedan model. What i'm trying to find out is where i need to hoook up the "speed pulse" for the nav to work correctly in my suby, also are there any other wires on this unit that need to be connected to any other designated spots like this one? any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!

Its at the ecu. It should be green/yellow or green/black. By the way, the navi should work without the speed sensor, it just won't be quite as accurate.

You're in luck. I just installed 2 of theese last week. One in my 05 STI and on in a friends 06 STI.

The speed pulse can also be T-tapped into the green/black(NOT light green) wire on the gauge cluster. If you want to watch dvds while driving then you need to ground the parking brake wire. There is also a reverse wire that you need to tap into the reverse light. I think the brown one coming from the reverse light.

As stated above, you dont need to connect any wires to the ecu. I have about 8k miles on my 5495, w/o the speed pulse, or reverse wire. Its within a few feet of being correct w/o the speed wire.

The reverse wire is just used to know when to activate the reverse camera.

^^ ZR2_S10 can you watch movies while driving. just wondering cus the eclipse has a built in gyro sensor and if you can did you just ground the brake wire. or what did you do to bypass it.thanks
Also is there a pin output for the VSS wire on the guage cluster or on the ecu. thanks
I will search but just asking aswell.

Yes, I can put a dvd in, and it will play while im driving.

I just grounded the parking brake sense wire to the system ground.

The HD Nav is nice, because you can flip between the movie, and nav instantly.

The music juke i s a nice feature too (3000 songs on the hd).

is the "speed sensor" hook up the same on an 05 RS as the 05 WRX? Becuase im not getting the voice prompts and reroute when then are turned on.

I dont have the speed sense or reverse wire hooked up, and I get all the prompts.
