obscure speed sensor tech question
I need to install my rally odometer in my 1999 V6 Camry.
There are a couple different ways to get a reading
One is a hall effect sensor on a wheel stud. I really don't feel like going through all that trouble of a bracket and having to purchase the sensor itself.
Two is to tap into the vehicles existing speedo cable and run a piggyback line from that to the odometer unit. As I understand it, most modern cars do not have a mechanical linkage to the speedometer any longer, so I believe this option is out.
Third is tapping into the speed sensor on the computer. This was relatively easy on my Subaru. I found the pin out and which wire it was, and I just tapped that wire for the signal. This is the option I want to use.
So my question is this; Where is the computer in the car that handles such chores and does anyone know the connector and wire(s) I would need to tap to hook this up?
Thank you very much.
