One Bad Stang

reverse goes to the 12v wire on the back up plug on the tail lamps (stick shift cars) and vss i think goes to a blue wire off the pcm under the hood. look at the avic d3 how to, it's in there.

Do you happen to know where the reverse is on an Automatic by any chance?

One Bad Stang

i dont, but you can probably find it somewhere arround the shifter.

I had the AVIC-F700BT installed about a month ago and really like it. I didn't plan on watching DVDs in the car so this model has everything I needed, although you could play DVDs with an external player using the A/V input.

Nav works great. If you turn the master volume down to soften the beep sounds, the directions voice gets a little too faint so I do have to put up with a slightly louder beep than I'd like.

Sound is much better than the Shaker1000; I upgraded my amps too which also helped.

Voice recognition is inconsistent but I don't use it and probably wouldn't even if it worked perfect.

Hands-free Bluetooth for the phone is awesome. I love having my contacts downloaded to the unit. I can keep my phone in my pocket and it synchs right up.

It does take some time for the unit to boot-up completely but the music kicks in right away so it isn't that big of a deal to wait for the rest of the stuff.

I created my splash screen in photoshop using the new 2010 'stang badge. My install looks exactly like the original poster so I won't bother with photos except that the microphone is next to the overhead center console.

Cheers!
