OK, I have read all the posts on the NAV Retrofit (using a 2000 MCS) and viewed all the diagrams and hooked up the VSS using that info. The following PICS will show the VSS install to the MCS but the MCS is still unable to define vehicle position []
Any Ideas?
Thanks!!

The Green and White wires shown above are coming off the CAN-BUS adapter (shown below) and have been routed to the MCS unit and plugged in, as shown above.

The MCS does not need VSS signal to give you the your current location. Only it need VSS signal to tell you turn by turn and when it lost track of satelites.
Also IIRC you only need to hook up to pin 1(the top left) only for the VSS signal.
Stewart, where are you? Benza need your help here.

The Navigation does point out my location however the arrow is usually pointed in the wrong direction and moves backwards on the map. The sound prompts do not work either. I was under the impression that once the VSS wires were hooked up that everything would work. When I try to set an address to Navigate to, I get the following message, even though my location shows up on the map where ever I am.
Thanks! Any help you could give on VSS wiring would be great!!

The green and white wire from the insertion harness go to the CAN-Bus adapter. Two wires from the CAN-Bus adapter go to pin 1 and pin 3 of the first connector in a 2000 MCS, so those are the correct pins.

That must be the problem! I was under the impression that no adapter was needed with the USA MB part# Q6540010 and the wires leading from the insertion harness are leading straight to the MCS unit (no adapter) So I guess I will wait for the Adapter from Germany (which I hope to get this week) and try that.
Where will the adapter actually get placed in the ML?
Thanks Wolfgang!!
I am trying to send a schematic I have from alpine regarding the connections.
You need a CAN-BUS adapter Part # Q6540011 and hope the instructions come out in the email.
After all this I should be Somking CAN-BUS [8D][8D] LOL
I should be getting the Can-Bus adaptor this week. I will post results when it comes in.[]
Benza
it was the only way I could figure out the wiring and how the damn CANBUS worked.[8D]
