noripwr Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Hey there, I'm going to be having a Z2 arriving to my house sometime next week and have been searching around here but couldn't find an answer to this one. Do you guys ground the brake wire for the Z2? If not, is there a brake wire I can wire the unit to w/o taking out the center console where the handbrake is (and if so where is this)? Also, on one of the searches, MisFit says Reverse Light red/black + DKP or bottom of fusebox, 20 pin plg Any idea what DKP means and anyone have an exact picture of this? btw, it's an 03 Camry with stock headunit no jbl. It's not my first time installing a unit, but it sure is a first for a navigation unit + this car. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KWHITELAW Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 DKP = drivers kick panel. look for the wire running from that area to he rear of the car (to the tail lights). worst case, you can pull the tail light and catch it right at the bulb but you should find it in either kick.

noripwr Posted May 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 I can find the brake wire (red/white) along with the reverse light wire (red/black)? I haven't had the time to install it yet, but I checked the bottom of the fusebox(DKP), is the 20 pin plug the black one with all the wires wrapped in a black plastic sheathing? Anyone have a picture of this? If it is so, this will require removing the bottom panel am I correct? Doesn't look like I can reach there just by removing the fusebox lid unless I am wrong.

noripwr Posted May 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 bringing this from the dead ! I believe I found the 20pin plug (w/ the red-black wire) for the reverse light, I'm not too sure. When I take out the plug, handbrake on, and put the car in reverse, the reverse lights still come on. Is that supposed to happen? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cntrylvr79 Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 You don't have the right one then. Best bet is to open up the harness that runs to the rear of the car. There's 2 red/black wires in that bundle, one of them is the reverse wire. It'll show +12volts when you shift the car into reverse. I took a picture of it once, but I can't seem to locate the picture anymore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
