Sorry - I might be bringing way too much detail to the project - but being not even semi-educated in electronics I thought I'd better ask rather than make an asssumption.

Phone cord does work, I am using it now with my pre-built. I thought I should post and let everyone know the VSS signal (actually an output speed signal) in the 07 Dodge RAM 1500 is not strong enough to trigger the MPGuino. However, I rigged up a DIY optical sensor on my driveshaft with a 12v peanut bulb and an IR photosensor and am getting a signal that is working. Yes, I went the long way around to get this working, but here's hoping this helps others out...
