Default Shift light needs VSS.... but where?

So I got a raptor shift light like everyone likes to run and am gonna wire it up tomorrow afternoon and was reading through the instructions and it needs a signal from the VSS to differentiate between the launch setting and the shift setting.


Now I know to get the pink wire and white wire from the harness to the left of the column, and ground is obviously an easy one... but where the eff can I can't a VSS signal? I've read a few posts about people using the green/white wire behind the radio, and some people talking about picking it up under the dash, I'm hoping I can pick it up in that loom!! Lol

That's okay I found it. The green wire with a white runner on the radio harness carried the VSS signal

I guess I'm a little late with this. Maybe it will help the next person.
I found this link and information on Raptor's website.

https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...e-install.html

97-98 Corvette:
Tach signal is at PCM, blue connector (C2), pin #35, white wire Vss signal is at PCM, red connector (C1), pin #55, dark green with white stripe wire

99-2004 Corvette:
Tach signal is at PCM, red connector (C2), pin #10, white wire Vss signal is at PCM, red connector (C2), pin # 50, dark green with white stripe wire

**NOTE**
For LS1/LS6/LS2/LS7/LS9 engines, set shift light to "4 cylinder" mode for 2 pulse/rev (PCM tach out terminal is "2 pulse/rev)
Vss is vehicle speed signal from PCM (connect white wire of dual mode shift light here).
Tach signal is engine speed (rpm) (connect green wire of shift light here).
