Speed signal is available on the HU loom isn't it - for the Speed Dependent Volume control?

Because the Nav system wouldn't know, if you reversed off your drive for example, if that was forward or backwards hence would start giving you false 'perform a U turn' instructions?

.....or am I way off track? Was just thinking about the age of these Carin systems.

The earlier systems relied on more than just satnav signal - they still work without sats (dead reckonning), based on accelerometers, and signals regarding car speed etc.  I guess its to do with that.

(This is the reason why built in systems are better than portables under certain conditions - cities, woods, tunnels etc)
