Orange Reverse Wire - I see two orange wires
 
So I'm in the middle of doing my install and things are going smooth except for two things. One thing is the reverse orange wire... I'm seeing two orange wires see picture below. How do I know which orange wire to tap?

ideally you have a multimeter, probe one wire, put the car in reverse, and see if you get positive voltage.

The one in the kick panel didn't work for me. I didn't check it with my test light while i was doing it though, because I had everything torn apart and the battery disconnected. I just used the one in the trunk later when I was adding the backup cam.

I think I remember seeing two in that same location. I first one I checked with my test light worked and I used that. Had to have my wife come put it in reverse with me in the hatch to check it :)

EITHER orange wire will work.
