I wanted to know if the Eclipse AVN 6600 was "plug and play" with the xB. Has anyone installed it without using a harness? Crutchfield provides a harness but the Scion plugs fit into the back of the Eclipse. Any help would be great...

Also, where would I find the "Speed Sensor" wire and the "Reverse" Wire in the xB???

 

I installed the 6600 in my 05 xb and it was a plug and go. I did need to connect to the reverse (got it in the harness headed to the indicator light behind the radio) and the speed sense (forgot where I found it but can let you know later)

I put a 5500 in my 06 xa. It was also a plug and go....even for the steering wheel controls. I caught the speed sense for that one in the aux harness behind the radio (purple/white)

Let me know what year your xb is and I'll try to get you better locations.

 

I have the 2006.5 xB.

Man, I was hoping you would see this thread since you seemed to know the most from the other threads I found...

Thanks for any help!

hey, thanks to you also!!!

 

since you have the 06.5 you should have the VSS (Speed sense) in the aux harness behind the radio. It is purple with a white stripe. It can be found under the glove box too (if you had a cruise control installed it should already be tapped there.....easy to find).

The parking brake and reverse wires can be found in the bundle that heads up into the instrument cluster. I am not sure what color the wires are there but I just used a meter to check for continuity of ground for the parking brake wire. When you use a meter to check for the reverse light, set meter to check for voltage, then look for the wire that turns to 12V when you move the shifter to reverse.

I posted a list of wire colors on an old thread. I can try to pm you a complete list of colors later.

Just remember that any information you get is use at your own risk/peril. ALWAYS use a meter to test everything.
