[Vwpickups] Cluster name and (VSS) Vehicle Speed Sensor or Signal

[ken1]

Well, there are so many forums around, I continued to search and did discover that the VSS on the 1981-84 was used to support cruise control. The support is also on my 1982 speedometer. I have the cruise control off of a Quantum. I also have read about the audiovox package, but was trying to implement the feature with stock support. May have to go that route.

    I don't have answers to your questions but I use Audio-Vox aftermarket
cruise control on my Rabbits and they work great for me. They use a magnet
pickup on an inner C/V joint if you don't have a speed sensor. They cost me
about 120 bucks.

have a 18 pin connector positioned at the top of the cluster and uses four
(4) screws to hold it in place on the 81-84 MK1s?
