The connector above did have a purple/red wire but I wasn't sure if that was the right one. Per others' recommendation, I picked any purple/red wire next to the 'ABS' box (pic 4) and tapped in. After driving my 4runner around, I don't believe I was getting any speed pulse. Do you have any idea? Thanks. Hi,

My guess is that I have to tap in like yours. Again, thanks for info and great pics. I have a 2005 4Runner SR5 V8. My guess is that I have to tap in like yours.

Some 4runners came with a 3rd connector behind the radio for the factory nav, in which case you can use that, if you don't have a spare connector there then you'll need to tap in like I did.

I am about to install an AVIC-X910BT this weekend in my 4Runner SR5. Which doc did you use to determine which connector and wire to tap to for vss and reverse? Thank you for your site!

The reverse signal I took from connector 1F pin 10 (Red w/ Yellow stripe), which is the connector right next to the fuse box in the driver's side lower panel. You can see it in the pic below, it's the left-most connector next to the fuses near the driver's door. <a href="http://photos.phpwerx.net/cars/4Runner/2009-02-01_AVIC-F90BT/800x600/DSCF2726.JPG" rel="lightbox[2009-02-01]" title="Reverse" rel="nofollow"><img width="120" height="100" alt="Reverse" src="http://photos.phpwerx.net/cars/4Runner/2009-02-01_AVIC-F90BT/thumb/DSCF2726.JPG"/></a> If you’re using the TATO interface then you don’t need the blue antenna wire, it takes care of that for you.

I have an SR5 2006 4runner, which has the same "sunken" radio. if you dont mine, could you explain how you determined where to put the speed sensor, reverse sensor, and the antenna? I have been googling 4runner electrical for days now and I cant seem to find any helpful information. You explained the VSS pretty well, but I did not understand where you found the reverse wire near the fuse panel. Also, where did you hook up the blue antenna wire to? In the manual it states a "antenna booster" because we have glass antennas? Great! Thanks. I have an SR5 2006 4runner, which has the same “sunken” radio.
