Default Car Speed Signal, Illumination, Reverse wires!?

I've been looking at all the installs on here and searching the forum, but I don't see anywhere that has identified where to find these wires! Specifically the car speed signal. The illumination shouldn't be too tough but I don't see anything that jumps out in there.

The reverse can be done going all the way to the rear of the car, but I'd hope there was a quicker and easier way.

Anyone??

Orange is revers on the Metra wiring harness

Orange in the trunk is where you tap your revers wire into. The speed signal do not worry about. That is not something I have put in on the Z and also it will disable letting you watch movies while you drive.

Sooo you said orange is the reverse on the metra, then you tap it into the trunk orange. if its in the harness, you won't need orange in the trunk... i've seen the trunk ones i just was wondering if there was something up front, there HAS to be somewhere.

what about the illumination wire? i don't see that pictured anywhere.

and i've already bypassed the speed wire so it will still work with that wired and would navigate much better with it (dead reckoning better) does that mean NO ONE here hooks up the speed sensor wire?

No,
The orange in the metra harness is illumination

The purple wire goes to the orange wire in the trunk.

The purple wire goes to the trunk and do you see where the wires are pulled out of the plastic casing. There is a orange wire in there. Strip back the insulation and attack the purple wire to that. Make sure to wrap it in electrical tape.

Scosche NN04B Nissan 2007+ Radio/Stereo Wire Harness - eBay (item 350245442189 end time Sep-26-09 16:04:57 PDT)

as you can see even in the pictures there's no pic. if you then go to schosche.com and look at their application guide, THEIR picture of the NN04b has no orange wire in ITS picture either!

Do not worry about it that badly man. It is not something that you NEED but more like a nice feature. Everything will work if you do not have the wire. It just will not dim when the lights are turned on that is all it dose. Everything will still light up.
If you still ant your head unit to dim when the lights turn on send the wiring harness back and get the right one.

Also do not forget you need a antenna adapter as well.
