Send road speed from the drive to your dash gauge with the Pioneer Speedometer Cable CA-3097. This replacement cable has a steel inner core that turns the speedometer and odometer as you drive. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1980-1983 Volkswagen Vanagon, 1955-1974 Volkswagen Beetle and 1956-1974 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
Pioneer cables offer a high-quality alternative to the original:
- Steel inner cable: a durable steel core carries rotation through the housing to the gauge.
- Polymer outer housing: shields the inner cable from corrosion and abrasion.
- Made to OE specs: produced to original-equipment specifications as a quality replacement choice.
- Hardware where applicable: depending on the application, Pioneer cables may come with common brackets, grommets and ends.
Signs a speedometer cable may need replacing: a needle that bounces, wavers or reads zero, an odometer that stops counting, or a squeal or ticking from behind the instrument cluster. These symptoms can also come from the gauge or its drive, so diagnose the cause first. If the cable is at fault, this speedometer cable is designed to replace it.

What does a speedometer cable do?
It is a flexible drive cable. Its inner core spins inside the housing and carries rotation from the drive source to the speedometer, which moves the needle and the odometer.
What is the Pioneer CA-3097 made of?
It has a durable steel inner cable inside a polymer outer housing that helps protect the cable from corrosion and abrasion. Pioneer makes it to OE specs.
What are signs of a worn speedometer cable?
A bouncing or dead needle, an odometer that stops counting, or squealing or ticking behind the gauge can mean the cable is worn. The gauge or its drive can cause the same signs, so diagnose the cause first.
