Back-up wire hook up for Avic?

Hey, quick question for all you guys that have installed an Avic in a C5... where did you tap into the wire for the reverse sensor wire?

Thanks... I'll be twisting myself around under the dash tomorrow. Hopefully by dinnertime the Advil and the Avic will be working!

I had the carpet and trim pieces already off to install a 12 CD changer and it seemed like the easiest way, since everything was aleady torn up.

Don't forget top post pics of your finished install.
