Why would you need a VSS for a Nav unit?

It's for the GPS and the D3 has a set of guages and in order to run them you need the VSS hooked up.

It's a grey/black wire. Mine was in the Radio Harness but yours might be different.

Yeah i think 2004 and up is in the radio harness
because it is used to turn up the radio volume automatically at high speeds
but my truck does not have that feature

You will love the D3 btw. I put one in a couple weeks ago and I love it. If you need Nav disk send me a PM and I'll direct you to the guy that burned mine, 25 bucks for both East and West disk.
