Hi List,
I've ordered the Audiovox CSS100 version cruise control and will pick  
it up next week when I'm in the US. Meanwhile, researching the  
installation and I found a couple of things I'd like to clear up.
the12volt.com says this about my 86 Westy:

1986-92 Volkswagen Vanagon Cruise Control Wiring Information
Constant 12V+   Red     Ignition Switch Harness or Use Hot Side of Brake
Switched 12V+   Black   Ignition Switch Harness
Ground  Use Chassis     Near Cruise Control Module
Hot Side of Brake       n/a     Brake Switch
Cold Side of Brake      Red/Yellow      Brake Switch
Tach    Green   Coil
VSS Wire        n/a  	
Pulses Per Mile         8000 PPM
Notes: Vehicles with Manual Transmission require Clutch Switch. Some  
vehicles may require a speed signal generator and/or other parts/ 
adapters not listed above. Rostra� Cruise Control module switch  
settings may differ if you use a speed signal generator or magnets and  
a pick up coil.

This states there's no VSS wire. Is that true?

Also, the Audiovox website has the installation manual available for  
PDF download at
