@OP: How is this going? I just grabbed a Camry speedometer from the junkyard and I am stuffing it in my gauge cluster now.

The first set of "devices" I posted was for the mechanical conversion he asked for some info on.
Then in this part (below) Where i was replying to him saying that he had a electronic sensor, not a mechanical gear. I only stated that he MAY need the converter to get the signal to the right pulses as you stated (which was 4ppr according to you).
Also note that I said to try to plug in the toyota one. But I can/will easily admit that im wrong and don't know anything about the electronic speedo stuff, as ive never dealt with one. But im just trying to make you understand that instead of going "The posts below mine are redundant and useless." you could've gone "You dont need any of that crap steven89 mentioned, you can do with what you have..." I honestly don't see where the "pissing" contest ever started, I simply commented or "got offended" in the way that you referred to my posts. Basically just thought the comment on my useless (I agree) information was a bit harsh and uncalled for.

I understand that you posted in reply to his question about the mechanical unit. However if you actually knew what you were talking about you would have advised him against it because he already has the electronic unit. This is the TECH SECTION, there is not room for error or guessing in here.

I called your posts redundant because they simply take a more drawn out approach to an already solved problem. I said they were useless because other than being redundant they served no purpose. I was describing the posts and leading BOHO away from them to not confuse him, not insulting you. Sorry if your feelings got hurt.

I'm still working on it. I'm trying to make them " pnp " with my factory starion harness. Using the factory fuel sender, volts, ACC, etc. Its a real pita.... I plan on trying the speedo individually in the next couple of days.

Well what happened, the story was just getting good!?

For anyone doing this that doesn't have a sensor already... a 91 landcruiser has a speed sensor that screws onto the mechanical part just like that Marlin Crawler thing. I just got one up the yard. I was thinking about doing this with a mkiv speedometer. Just need to find one cheap enough to play with.

To convert The actual speedometer to electronic, not the trans right? Cuz I have to convert from cable to electronic because of the new trans in my car and now I have to figure this out.... :/

In the first post, he wanted to use the stock vss with a programmable aftermarket speedo. No need for the dakota digital converter box. With my autometer, and most other aftermarket speedos, they get programmed to ppm (pulses per mile) on a gps's or known distance route.

Its in the last post where the gentleman wants to use the stock (or marlin converted) vss with another stock speedo thats non adjustable, thats when the dakota digital box comes in handy.

I have experience with all of this. From the programming the speedo with stock vss and getting the ECU to log corretly by adjusting with the dakota digital box.

Edit: if the ecu truly takes the + and - from the speed signal, thats great, just splice the wires to the speedo, but where on older units where its just a single 12v square wave input (rather than an a/c signal) youll route the vss to the speedo, and use its output for ecu and cruise control funcitons.
