Installing a NAV Unit - Need Wiring 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!

Vehicle Speed Sense= Gray/Black in the stock radio harness
Reverse Light= Black/pink at the fuse box

Right below where the bundle under the hood, on the drivers side, that has the 4 pass-through wires is, there's a pretty good sized rubber plug that looks like a diamond laying on it's side, punch through that to run the +12V for the amp.
