Here is some more info for you.

VDO released a MS5400 HD kit. Specifically designed for Holden vehicles.
According to the guy i spoke to at VDO the wiring loom supplied with the HD kit is meant to plug directly into your Satnav connector.

The part number is: 3112-3102-7131
Available as a spare part from any VDO dealer



Some good news at last - The harness you would want is the A-harness.

Finally got an answer from a holden dealer.

Purple and white - Digital - goes to the speedo and thru a bridge to the satnav connector. From there it goes to plug X1 - Pin 1 which is pin one on the A connector in the satnav.

Older GPS units can tap the speed sensor on the transmission.

Confirms my findings ... purple white definately VSS this connects to the Black white wire ( A1 ) on the 5400 wiring harness.

The MS5400 HD kit is mentioned in the VDO Dayton catalogue.....may have been a cheaper & easier route to go ? anyway thats for my next Commodore :yeah:

I will try get a price on the kit & publish it....

Another piece of trivia you can connect a DVD player to the MS5400 SAT Nav computer using the VDO Dayton CA 1220/40 Adaptor Cable - Plays through the monitor

Hi Guys,
Not sure if I should have started a new thread, I am new to forums.
I need help with connecting the standard WK Caprice DVD Player to the VDO Dayton 5000 Sat Nav screen.
I purchased the looms and they plug straight into the Sat Nav Computer and have RCA's for the Video and Audio.
Also has provision to plug in a reversing camera as well.
Great so far!
My problem is that there are no RCA plugs in the DVD system, there are only wiring looms that plug into a few boxes.
Can any one tell me which wires I can tap into, for a video signal coming out from the DVD player, so I can connect them to the RCA plugs in the Sat Nav loom?
Obviously, I dont have a wiring diagram.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Regards,
Sam.
