2007 Armada LE - Navigation Bypass

[alcatoe]

I have been doing some research on the topic of Nav bypass how to and after researching the wire diagram from http://www.nicoclub.com/FSM/ar...v.pdf, I am under the impression the 2007 model does not have the "ebrake" wire as described in zer...age=2.

Can anyone please confirm this? I think all I need to do is cut the "vehicle speed signal" cable.

Thanks!

That sounds correct on the '07 and older, but I am not 100% certain. Did you look at the FSM? Here is the link:

Timmbo, yeah, I checked out the FSM and that is what lead me to think it only has the VSS. I took apart the dash and center consol today to check things out and I tracked down the VSS under the passenger seat at the NAV unit. It is the right plug, 4th wire (white w/ red stripe) from the right on top (if you are looking at the plug while it is plugged in).

I was trying to determine if my mada was prewired for DVD since it is an LE. Behind the audio unit in the dash, the M46 connector has all of the slots filled with wires so I am guessing it is. I had the center consol out and could see some wires through a small opening where the DVD connectors sink down but could not pull them through. I did not have the time today to pull out the whole console so I will do this next weekend to see.

Will post back then to let all know.

I did the switch for the navi bypass under the seat but would like to have the front monitor play DVD like the newer models. I can't see why it wouldn't work if you can send a signal to the screen some how.

I'll check back to see what you find.

On the models older than an '08, you need to purchase a switch unit like the one from TV and Nav 2 Go. This allows you to connect regular Audio/Video cables to the back of your Navigation drive underneath the passenger seat. From what I understand, they now have a plug & play model, although I am not sure I would go that route. I know with the '04 QX56 that I used to own, I made the connection right under the passenger seat, and that is where I mounted the unit. I then had to use an audio video cable to run from the center console to the unit underneath the seat.

I have the 2006 QX56, and am looking for the ebrake and VSS wire also. I found the wire you were referring to by the Nav unit, but I would really like to trace it behind the dash so I could connect it to my NB20 Nav Bypass that presses the OK button and allows you to program while driving (the passenger program of course!!) Anyone know where any wiring diagrams are for it or which wire it is behind the radio or Nav screen? I tried detecting it from the Nav unit with a multi-meter, but no luck.

Thanks!
