Reverse wire for rear camera installation

[jataga]

Hello everyone. I have a 1999 Limited 4WD.

I installed a radio and one of the features is a rear backup camera. I have everything wired except for the rear camera 'auto turn-on' feature. I can turn the camera on from the radio but I want it to come on when I put my 4Runner in reverse. Do any of you know the color and location of a reverse wire I can tap into?

Also, I was wondering if I could tie into the REVERSE LIGHT. I'm thinking the reverse line just needs voltage to turn on but I'm not sure.

Thanks!

The closest to the radio would be the park neutral safety switch. Granted it comes up in the engine transmission body harness that is in the glove box then back to the taillights.

I connected my camera positive into the reverse light at the shifter.

I picked up the brake light signal behind the kick panel just to the left of the drivers feet:

3rd Gen TR4 Backup cam?

Hope this helps,
