Hi guys,

I just purchased the follwing kit! My only questions are:

- Do I need to use a speed pulse generator? My car is a 1990 Mercedes 190E 2.5-16

- Also i heard something about pre out leads for an amp? Do i need one?

Does anyone out there have any experience of these speed pulse thingy's and if they are needed!??

Thanks guys!

I'm not 100% sure but I think for some sat navs you need a speed signal ie: speedo. And the RCA's, only if you have a amp, if not then just plug in the plug at the back, might need an ISO adapter. Nice head unit!!
