Hi guys, How can I get the vehicle speed input in to the EMU? Can I do this via a ABS sensor ? Any other solutions? My current setup: Aftermarket GPS speed sensor kit directly plugged in to the instrument cluster which is very unstable. Application: Mitsubishi Lancer 2001 (4G15 Mivec Turbo & transmission from a Colt RalliArt) Thanks Edit - The car does not have a functioning ABS system. I have upgraded brakes from a FTO which came with ABS sensors but not being used for anything. So there is no concern about affecting the brake functionality. I just need to find a way to get the speedometer to work without relying on GPS. ---

I’m currently using a Dakota Digital GPS receiver that it feeding the VSS channel on the EMU Black. I had it feeding the cluster before getting the EMU so I just repurposed it. ---

If u have vehicle speed on CAN u can also input it from there. ---

Can I not keep it simple and plug the ABS sensor to EMU black and calibrate within the EMU ? PS. The car does not have a functioning ABS system. I have upgraded brakes from a FTO which came with ABS sensors but not being used for anything. So there is no concern about affecting the brakes. ---

Is there a reason for using a “vehicle speed on CAN” instead of plugging it directly ? ---

If u dont have ABS u can use any wheelspeedsensor and plug it to emu…yes. ---

Did this too. Directly from ABS sensor to ecu. Then calibrate speed reading from GPS. ---
