Wire for backup camera

Does anyone know of a pin location for reverse in the area of the radio? I'm trying to wire a backup camera and don't want to run a wire all the way up from the back bumper...

Thanks,
Kevin

To be clear your just looking for a spot for power when in reverse to run the camera or switch the head unit correct?

I will have to check when i get home for the color but the reverse signal wire can be tapped at the fuse panel under the steering wheel.

Yes, just power for the stereo system Reverse wire so the system knows to switch to camera. I can power the camera itself from the reverse light.

That'd be great if you could find that! Appreciate it!

Fuse panel, the plug on the bottom right there is a black with pink stripe wire on pin 1 (Connector C270f) this should be the reverse sense wire you are looking for. Use a meter and check voltage while in park and and reverse.

That is for my 03x and was the same for my 02 250. wire color I believe stayed the same but double check with meter before taping.

Hope that helps.
