02 corolla aftermarket cruise questions

Good afternoon, everyone. I have a 02 corolla and I’m trying to install an aftermarket cruise control on it. I have a couple questions about wiring.
#1. The cruise needs one wire connected to the vss. The problem is that the vss in the transaxle has three wires coming from it. Red/blue - red/white - white. Does anyone know which wire the vss wire on the cruise should connect to or is there a good place from in the driver’s compartment?
#2 the cruise needs one wire connected to the coil ground. Each of the 4 coils has 4 wires coming from them. I’m pretty sure the brown wire is the ground. Can I connect to 1 of the 4 coils or do I need to find a common ground for all 4 coils? Again, is there a good place to connect from in the driver’s compartment?
I’d rather do all the connections from the driver’s compartment if at all possible for looks and to avoid connections exposed to weather. Michigan has a way of finding all electrical weak links! Lol. Thanks!

Here's a link that tells you all the wire connections you need to make (p 44 and 45, the chart goes across the page). The vss wire is either violet/white or white/blue, it's a wire that goes into the ECU, (LOTS of wires) inside the dash under and behind the heater controls. (this is where the link says it is: Gray 22 pin connector Position 9 or Main Wiring Harness(00-01) at transmission) I connected the coil (tachometer) to the tachometer wire behind the instrument panel (black). This wire plugs into the speedo even if you don't have a tachometer.
Wish you luck!
Kyle
