Crutschow,
If you're confident in your initial circuit diagram, I'll order parts and put it up on a breadboard.
Any last minute ideas or tweaks before I place the parts order?
MrAI,
I think tapping into the speedometer sensor signal is unnecessarily complicated, when off the shelf accelerometers are available. Nonetheless, the speedo sensor is a Hall effect sensor by the rear wheel, that measures disturbances in the sensor's magnetic field caused by steel wheel bolts as they rotate by. About the sensor, the shop manual states: "a square-wave pulse is generated with voltage between 12V and approximately 0.6 V."
