Reverse sensing wire???

[knotkrazy]

AAARRRGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My stereo build is ONE WIRE from being finished... But I can't find the 'Reverse Sensing Wire' ANYWHERE on this forum or others, or in the manual for that matter. Maybe I'm burnt out from looking, I don't know. The head unit is a Pioneer AVIC X930BT; I think there's a usable wire in the mirror assembly, but surely there's one behind the factory harness or in the left footwell that's easier to access? If it's been addressed, my apologies; I see other similar posts, but none describing the wire I'm looking for. This is my third day, and I'm throwing in the towel. Anyone got an idea? Please???

Thanks in advance. BTW, build thread w/ pics uploading tonight or tomorrow. Head Unit, Speakers, Sub, Amps, Back Up Camera. Not a bad job for a rookie!

Which stereo did you have?

 

[knotkrazy]

oops

Yeah, I guess that'd help....

SR5 with the standard (non-JBL) system, 8 speakers.

Reverse Light, Red, +, dash fuse box, white 36 pin plug (2F), pin 4

probably sounding ignorant by now, but...

Are you talking about the 36 pin connector behind the driver's kickplate? I've got a large red wire in pin 5, not 4, on a 36 pin connector...

Driver side panel, you need to remove the lower dash part (there's two bolts to remove, one on the left, one on the right.


Here's a picture (you need to thank Jtraskell for that )

Doh!

Okay, NOW I'm feeling pretty stupid. Good thing it wasn't a snake.

Many, many, many thanks, I'll include it in my build thread. I should be powering it up shortly; results posted here soon after....:keyboard:
