Firewall, Speed Control Wire Question, Reverse gear lamp Question HELP!!

OK, installing a DVD unit in the dash of my '06 F-250 C/C 6.0 PSD. I am also adding a navigation unit to it as well. The navigation unit has a wire that needs to tap into the Engine Control Computer vehicle speed signal wire. How do I find this wire?

Another wire needs to tap into the + terminal for the reverse gear lamp that is only fed when the trans in in reverse. How do I find this wire?

Finally, where is a point on the firewall where I can run a hot off my battery for my Amp?

Hopefully with a little help, I can complete this install on my own. Thanks!

Look under the hood at the driver's side front, and see if you have an abs module. Going into the module should be a lightgreen/red and a lightgreen/black wires. These wires come from the rearend speed sensor.

For the reverse lamps, do you have an autodarkening rearview mirror? If you do, look for a black/pink wire running up to the mirror. This has 12 volts when in reverse.

What type of navigation unit is it? Possibly they have instructions for Ford models on their website?
