Cliffs notes:

Ordered a Kenwood double din head unit online. Sent 2 back with various issues, etc. After spending a month fighting with Kenwood, they offered to send me the next model up from mine or send me a free backup camera. The choice between a $50 stereo upgrade or a $200 backup camera.....I went with the camera. I received it today and now it's time to wire it up.

I need to wire my head unit into my reverse lights to send the signal to my screen and automatically display the camera image. In an effort to reduce the amount of wires I have to run to the back of the vehicle (not to mention I already ran the camera wire back and really don't want to have to rip panels out to run another wire if I don't have to), does anyone know if/where/what color the wire for the reverse lights around the under dash fuse panel is, so I can splice a wire into it?

The back-up lights (reverse) wire is Grn/Blk.

There are several places under the dash:

Under the middle of the dash, there is a 21P White connector; the Grn/Blk wire is at pin 7 on that connector.

At the under-dash fuse box, there is a 12P Lt Green connector; the Grn/Blk wire is at pin 8 of that connector.

For CR-V with M/T: Behind the glove box, there is a 20P Gray connector; the Grn/Blk is at pin 1.

For CR-V with A/T: Behind the glove box, at the AT Reverse Relay; the Grn/Blk wire is at pin terminal 1 on the connector to the AT Reverse Relay.

You sir, are the wiring guru. Thanks. It's an M/T. I'll find the easiest one to splice into. Thanks again!
