Anyhow hope to start working on it again soon.

The head unit has a "reverse" wire that acts as a trigger for the back-up camera when the transmission is placed in reverse. Anyone have experience with this... what is the easiest way to hook it up?

Also is there a convenient ground under the dash somewhere... besides splicing into an existing wire?

You should be able to catch the BU lamp LTGRN at either C209 @ the lower side of the IP on the right OR @ C401 which is at the RH halo I believe in the vicinity of where the CHMSL connection is made from the ABS unit etc. Top of RH seat vicinity.

Ah now that sounds much better than jacking the car and trying to squeeze up to the switch which appears to be near the bell-housing. I'll poke around and see if I can find it. If not then perhaps I will just run another wire along the back-up cam route since I can readily see and access the LT green wire through the license plate hole.

When I installed my back-up camera, I used a extra wire with the camera wire. Hooked it up at the back-up light, behind the license plate. Haven't looked back since. Or have I? I'm confused.

So I think I have found the easiest route to connect the reverse wire off the head unit to the back-up light circuit. Here it is under the passenger dash, this should be C209 as it matches the connector description in the FSM electrical supplement.

The back-up lamp circuit is a LT green wire, at first I was a little confused since there are two wires here which appear to be LT green but another look at the FSM indicated its terminal F on C209 so it should be the one at the top of the pic.

I probably could have run a wire all the way back to the reverse lamps in less time but by doing this research I found a super close spot to plug in and also learned a lot about the FSM in the process - thanks WVZR-1

That's good work

Where IS the line tap? Can't actually see it there...

And learning to follow schematics in FSM is good brainwork too. Makes for good systemic and cognitive processes!

Its not there yet, probably get that done today.

Bob sorry I missed you latest post however if you have a Varible Speed Sensor wire on your head unit the VSS wire is the Forrest Green Wire with the White Stipe off the Bose factory radio harness. Normally you need this wire if you have a NAV unit and dont want to rely on dead reackoning. D

My head unit does not have NAV, going to do that separately
