2004 Camry- reverse light wire location

[rajgopal]

Hello-
Planning on installing Knewood DNX6140 with backup camera this weekend. Got stuck on one thing- where do I locate reverse light wire to splice into to connect camera to HU? Fuse box? Or somewhere in the harness? What color wire should I be looking for?

TIA

Would appreciate some guidance here...

Just hooked up backup camera...black/red on the camera to black/red on the car...red on the camera to red on the car...where do I connect purple/white wire from HU (tagged as reverse switch)? black/red again? The car is 2004 Camry.

TIA

If you had the OEM radio w/nav, the RED with BLACK TRACER wire is located on connector N2 pin 14. This is a 18 pin connector on back of radio.
If you didn’t have nav, the stock radio(s) don’t show the connections in the electrical drawings.
Electrical Wiring Diagram Manual, Page 28 connector 2k pin 3 has the RED with BLACK TRACER backup-light wire, looks like the best place to connect into. The over-all back-up wiring can be found on page 142 of the same manual. Overall Best bet.
Another connection point might be on the back of the combination meter page 267, hard to get to but a shorter run.

Good Luck.

I got the red/black connected. Purple/white is not connected anywhere now- on DNX6140, if I press and hold Nav, camera comes on, and when I shift to reverse, the picture goes away.
