Don't hook it up to the VSS if you have a unit that can play DVDs, because you won't be able to drive while watching movie (AT YOUR OWN RISK of course)

Instead just take the wire and ground it to your shifter column or somewhere metal by the center console. Shouldn't negatively affect your navi either on most models, but I could be wrong for the newer more high tech models.

I was told by kenwood that I need to connect this wire cuz this wire let's the navi know how fast I'm going. Also it's a Separate unit navi it let's me play DVDs and have navi at the same time.
