Back up camera wire?

montenido

Hi folks,
I spent most of today installing a new head unit (pioneer 8201) and got most of it done. What I'm having trouble with is the hook up for the back up camera. I bought the stuff from Crutchfield, and they have been great, I called them twice already. However, they tell me that I should tap into an orange wire by the driver's-side kickplate, and I do not have any orange wires in that area. I cut open the wire loom and found lots of red wires and other colors, but no Orange. The wires coming out of the back up lights appears to be blue and white, maybe green and white, but not orange. I know that I can just run a wire from the back up light to the head unit, but I would rather find the proper wire closer to the HU. What am I missing? My car is a 2012 370Z base model. I welcome any suggestions.

Thanks, Bill

Found it using a 12v test light. Not really an orange wire, more of a tan color. Anyway, the BU cam works now. I still have to sort through the steering wheel controls...

Cheers, Bill

I know this thread is a little old, but montenido, could you please post up an image of where you mounted your backup cam?
