Am thinking about installing an in-dash NAV and was wondering if anyone knows where to tap into the back-up light wire. I dont want to run a wire all the way to the trunk, is there a place I can tap into it under the dash? Any advice is welcomed, Mahalo.

Don't know what's changed since 2004, but this is the best I could do.

Thanks Americonium, but that's too confusing for me.:confused: I was hoping for a picture showing which wire to tap into. Has anyone who installed an in-dash navigation receiver need to connect to the back-up light wire? Can you post a picture of where you tapped into? Mahalo.
