Orange wire in the driver kick panel. Grab a multi-meter and test for 12 volts when put in reverse.

I was going to post but I'll let you figure it out, here's a tip...

Reverse wire is accessed behind the tail lights (I used the driver side) you'll see a ton of wires grounded there. Tap that wire for the reverse light.

Headunit has a purple wire reverse trigger, hook that up on the other side.

Not that hard you have 2 wires other than rca

I don't remember having to run my red wire rca by the head unit all the way back to the trunk just rca itself. the red wire up there should be to the reverse wire out of the head unit. and the reverse bulb wire I just grabbed it and followed it till I came through the grommet in the car that's where I tapped mine and just ran the ground to the chassis that's all that should be required just double check the rca is in the right video plug in the back of the head unit. some have specifics to the camera and not just the DVD player attachment.
