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.

Thanks. 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.

There are a few different styles of radio surround on different year and trim level 4runners, so make sure you get the right kit based on which factory radio you have. If you have the same style as mine, a Scosche TA1465B should work also. It’s a Metra 95-8202, I got it at BestBuy and was surprised that the price was reasonable.

I have picked up some coilovers but they'll probably have to wait until the spring, don't want to get them all rusty before I even get a chance to enjoy them!

When can I expect to take an on-board video ride ? A fast on-board video ride ! Well, It’s good to hear you project is moving nicely under its own power.
