Speed Pulse etc. Navig System

[doggebreth]

I am sure that this info has been posted before but I have trawled the previous threads without success.

I'm fitting a Blaupunkt mp3 radio with navigational functionality into a recent Skoda Fabia 1.9 diesel.

I've been looking at the interfaces on the Nexxia and bluespot sites.

Does anyone know whether either of these - or any alternative - provides speed pulse information without further intervention?

Tech support from their own people does not inspire confidence!

I would appreciate any constructive advice from others who have gone before.

Mindless abuse also always welcome of course...

A search on here will reveal the wiring pinout of the DIN connectors for the standard Fabia radio. The speed pulse is used for the GALA function of the standard radio (I think it's pin 1), and works OK with aftermarket navigation units. If your Blaupiunkt takes a standard DIN connection (and note that's "Blaupunkt" and "standard" in the same sentence) it should plug straight in.
