Re: GPS wiring help needed

Does that mean your spedo will show the GPS speed? That would be cool, and why the reverse wire? Where are you mounting the antenna, I assume it has to be external. I have a hand held and have to hold it out the window.

Re: GPS wiring help needed

A speedo will be more accurate than GPS. I imagine he is talking about a signal going to the GPS unit to aid tracking.

I mount the antenna on top of the fascia close to the windshield over the screw cover.
The reverse wire is for The GPS to count backwards The odometer.
