Question Speed Wire and Navigation ? ? ?

I have an 06 Evolution 9 MR and am in the process of getting a navi unit installed. The particular unit requires us to tap into the speed wire for the car. Do any of you know where this wire is located and is it just a normal wire or is it optical ? ? ?

Thanks in advance,
MarK.

No, they're on back order for 6 weeks so I just could not bring my self to wait. Further more with the double din idea I was going to loose my gauges which is a little annoying. I ended up doing some research and the new JVC unit has been highly reccomended. It does everyting the Pioneer unit does but is single din and incorporates a 3.5in screen into the receiver. It also costs half as much as the Pioneer unit, I now dont need a $300 trim piece thats back ordered for 6 weeks and a keep my gauges so to be honest, all in all I am happy the double din idea did not work out. I'll let you now how it all turns out and will post pics. Should be done by next week.

Thanks,
MarK.
