Reverse Signal Wire & other hook ups

[MoDiesel]

I just picked up my 08, 250 Superduty Powerstroke and want to install my Eclipse AVN 5435 that I removed from my 06 F150. Can anyone tell me:

1) What is the color code for the "reverse signal wire?" Need it for my back up camera.
2) I assume the VSS wire is Purple/Orange from another thread. Any confirmations?
3) Are the connectors the same on the standard radio from 06 to 08? Want to use my same harness adapter from my 06 F150.

Thanks in advance for any help!!

I have everything installed.

1. The reverse wire is Green with a brown stripe. Found under the steering wheel.
2. VSS wire I hooked up is Purple/Orange. Not sure about this one. GPS acts flakey. I'm going to search around and make sure.
3. One thing is different on radios from 06 to 08. 08 you will need an antenna adapter. New style on 08. $15 at a electronic store.

I hope this can help someone else doing an install.

Update:
I got ahold of the wrong Purple/Orange wire. There are several blunt cut wire ends on the main harness that runs through the firewall under the dash to the left of the steering wheel. There you will find the the right wire to use for VSS just waiting for you to hook up to. Works perfect now.

I am looking for an ignition (switched) wire under the hood somewhere around the main power box. I am hooking up a compass mirror, used the cigarette lighter leads for the constant and ground, need a switched wire to finish the job.
