there are lots of cool things for the avicn2...a few of them void the warranty but those things kick butt.

Vss is not hard to find, in fact if your Explorer has cruise control you can also locate the Gray w/black stripe wire at the module.

If you don't have cruise get it at the computer. Pin 58 has the gray/ black wire. The computer is in plain open sight. Open the hood, look at the fire wall silghtly left of center. That is the 104 pin computer connection. The plastic cap is removed by lightly prying the four retaining clips. Start at the row labled 52 and count from there. NO Problem. You can do it :cheers:

Damn I hate that crap. I rented a jeep in Vegas a few years ago, and it was really starting to piss me off till I realized why the radio kept turning itself down.
