mikejobu Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 (edited) Need to add a rear camera to the work solutions computer screen - is this possible? Also - Any info on the VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) and disabling it so my passenger can type/nav while driving? THANKS! (Any info on the wiring for the work solutions computer is what I am asking I guess) Edited December 8, 2009 by mikejobu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humitex Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Hey Mike, Please be careful regarding the bypass of your system. First, it's dangerous and secondly it's against the law. (don't worry, I'm not a cop) Your rear camera should be hooked to your reverse sense wire. Not sure if the WSC has a video input to allow you to switch from PC to Back-up cam. Your VSS wire is used for GPS. They have the GPS disabled during movement due to the location and angle of the screen. You can find your VSS wire on the transmission. Go to Best Buy and ask one of the guys in the install bay if they can look up the color for you, but it would be wise to test prior to tapping into it.

mikejobu Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 Why would it be illegal? I dont follow you. I have an external GPS I use all the time in the car that doesnt even have a VSS hookup. I will trace the wire and find it in the harness. Anyone know on camera input?

I am interested in any info on wiring you may have. I have the stereo power and speaker wiring color codes, and where to get a ready to snap in wiring harness and trim plate, but I have a few wires that I can't identify in the audio harness.

ncranchero Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 You can view the Audio and Work Solution wiring schematics info I have here: http://s11.photobucket.com/albums/a154/ncranchero/Transit%20Connect/Service%20Manual%20Info/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madlock Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Man, I feel your pain. NOBODY is as "OEM-ish" when it comes to improving a vehicle than me. BUT.... The FWS Computer is basically a Windows Mobile/CE PC. To accept video input, it would both need to either be provided in data form (i.e. over USB) or as an analog signal with a peripheral converter - but you'd THEN need software on the system to flip to it when it detect a signal. Adapting most navigation head units is simpler because they're made to work that way (or they at least have the hardware and require a re-flash to activate). You're going to be FAR happier, I think, using an in-mirror display and just wiring it independent of the FWS PC. Even the 2011 Transit Connect that DOES include a backup camera uses an in-mirror display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susanavilon Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 My speedometer and odometer are dead. I read that the problem can relate to a dead vehicle speed sensor (VSS). I looked under the engine, under the tranny, and couldn't find where the VSS is located. If the VSS is dead, then shouldn't the check engine light turn on?. For my car, there is no check engine or any light turn on. Can anyone detail show me where to locate the VSS on a 2004 ford ranger.thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
