Some systems in the vehicle require a speed signal (instrument cluster, 28 pin multi-pin connector, contact 7).

-

On vehicles with a mechanical speedometer the speed sensor is bolted to the rear side of the instrument and delivers 4 impulses per drive cable
revolution. An inductive sensor (2-pin) or crankshaft position sensor (3-pin) is used for radios with Gala 1994 >.

-

On reverse side of instrument cluster, carefully break part -A- off along perforated line.

-

Insert the speed sensor -1- into the resulting recess and secure with Philips screws -3-.
