You will need the "Speed Sensor" which can be bought from:

Speedometer Service Company
5801 W. Villard Ave.
Milwaukee, WI 53218
Phone 414-463-6660

It cost me 98.50 plus shipping back in 2004.

It still uses your old speedo cable which runs from the wheel to the sender, then is tuned to an electric signal the speedo can read.

This should work with VDO or Autometer (comes with cable) ....

OR use this one, but you have to (probably) adapt VW speedo cable to this unit...

Find and download installation instructions for AUTO METER SPEEDO and see what the speedo requires for electronic sender....

Maybe...

that should work, I used the one from CIP1 for $120.00, so that one is a little cheaper. I also was useing the Autometer electronic speedometer.
