It has a what? I don't think that's used for what you think it's used for. If you're referring to the orange rectangular connector, that's where the wire connects that goes to the speedometer pass through cable. It reads the speed from the CANBUS to make sure it's within range of what it expects to be.

If you're referring to something else, a link may be handy so we can see what you're talking about.

Can you please post a link? There is not standard place that I'm aware of to download the MDC install instructions.

Looking at the german instructions I have, I think see the connector you're talking about. I think that's for use with the speedometer that MDC also makes, to signal data back to it about cruise conditions. I don't think it's for use with generic 3rd party navigation systems.
