Ive got a 2004 Dodge Ram with a Pioneer AVH-P5700DVD. I am adding a AVG-DP1 and need to find the VSS and the reverse light wire. I have seen the threads where others have had issues finding them and I am hoping someone can tell me where it is inside the truck and not outside in the engine bay.

For the reverse wire the best way to find it is to look at the tail lights. the wires that turn or you back up light. Us a volt meter to make sure you grab the correct wire. You can either run wire back to it or trace the wire back to the cab. As for the VSS i have no idea sorry. Hope i helped some.

I had seen those pics already and although pics always help (ALOT), I am trying to stick inside the vehicle. I know there is a unused grommet right by the hinge on the passengers door that I could use and go through to get the ECM but Id rather not unless thats the only option.
