Hi,

 

Was just wondering if anyone could help me locate the reverse wire on '04 toyota solara..

 

Thanks.

Found this for you:

 

Before installing the new nav unit you’ll need to run wires for the two sensors. The R9 connector on the back of the new NAV system needs to be supplied with speed sensor input and from the reverse sensor. The folks at oemvalue were good enough to supply this connector. The wire located on the far left (wire #5) is to be connected to the reverse/neutral (REV) switch. The wire in the center (wire #3) is to be connected to the vehicle speed sensor (VSS). I found it very easy to make these connections by removing the lower glove box. Just to the left of the glove box opening is a small harness consisting of 5 wires. The are attached to a metal bracket via a cable tie and must be cut in order to get some slack to work with. They are also wrapped in a rubber type insulation which can be carefully snipped off with scissors. Inside this bundle you’ll find two wires. One is violet (purple) and white stripe for the VSS. The other is red with a black stripe which is for the REV sensor. These wires are very small and fragile (24 gauge) so be extremely careful when making these connections. It’s best to use a “tap-in†style connector because it doesn’t require you to not cut the original wire but yet splice into it with another wire and continue the connection to the nav unit. I used 22 gauge radar detector wire and ran it up to the opening for the nav unit. At this point you can make the connection to the VSS/REV connector that came with your unit. Again, you can use the same connectors or a butt style connector if you so choose.
