Default Which wire for VSS / Cable-X?

From what I understand the unit needs the direct output from the VSS. There's a green and purple wires coming out of it on the trans. Which wire is the signal?

I'm assuming i need the direct output and not the one from the ECU.

Searched on here and on torquecentral, every post was "maybe" "dont quote me" on top of that I guess you are supposed to use the ECU VSS signal, any ideas on that color? Green as well maybe?

Nope the ecu signal is a white wire.

Here:
On the 220 plug:
E (black/white) is grounded
K (Dk Grn/Wht) [pcm red 50] is the Vss out going to the dakota converter

Here is a full LS1 pinout diagram too:
