I'm looking for the wire that sends speed signal to.. well anywhere cause im looking to tap into it to get the signal off of it. I know the RX8 uses the CAN bus and its a pain to extract anything out of it, but there has to be one right?

thanks

The issue is that each speed sensor (4 total) sends their information separately to the control module.

 

its not a pain at all to get eh info from the can bus- you just need the right gear

 

even if i just tap into one, that would give me the speed of the vehicle no?

found something else online:

04 MAZDA MAZDA

Control Lever: 250-3421,250-3742

VSS Tach Wire: NA IF MANUAL MUST USE CLUTCH SWITCH 250-4206

would tat work? anyone know where the cruise control harness is?
