I am still trying to get this AVIC Z1 installed correctly in mt '07. All of it is hooked up except for the Speed Sensor (VSS) wire. I thought I had it yesterday (The one MPTonyT showd me in the pic) but that one turned out to not be it. I connected it and all the speed pulse would do is jump from 0-1-2 then back to 0, and this was sitting still....should read 0 always. In moving it would continue to do the same. I pulled it back out and re-did the connection thinking I did not get a good one. Still nothing but the 0-1-2-0. I posted this in another forum and got this answer on it:
the sport trac is based on the old explorer chassie and there is no gray/black wire at the back of the radio. at least for the 2005 model. no 06 wire info yet. the radio monitors the voltage on the 12volt input to the radio that is how it increases the volume. like the older chevys.
It was suggested that I go to the cruise control to pic up the wire, or at the wiper motor, but I can't find the cruise control module (throttle by wire in the V8, not familiar with that fully quite yet) and I don't really want to start tearing apart the cowl of the ST to get at the wiper motor. Tomorrow I will try to see what I can see behind/under the dash. I am about to the point to take it to an audio shop and pay them to find/hook up this one wire....
