Thanks. That makes it sound like a very simple signal. Why is it critical for an RSN-E input?
Is it an encoded signal? On/Off Signal? Linear signal? Does it tell the radio exactly how fast you are going?
I've read through TeddyBGame's and others' posts about upgrading to RSN-E. Everyone talks about splicing into the GALA wire. I'd rather splice nothing if I can get away with it. I just don't know what else this signal is used for.
Thanks in advance for any other info you might share.

It tells the headunit how fast the vehicle is moving. It is critical for the RNS-E because...
The RNS-E uses the vehicle speed to move the indicator on the navigation map. The unit does not synchronize with the GPS satellites fast enough to move the indicator properly.
The RNS-E also uses the speed signal for GALA functions... to adjust your audio volume with speed.
I strongly suggest that you make this connection for proper navigation operation. You don't want to be missing a turn because your position is lagging behind. The connection is easy to make if you're slightly handy with tools.
