Default New AVIC-90BT need help with wiring

I bought the unit not too long ago there are three wires I don't have the location to: the parking brake lead, reverse gear signal input lead, and the car speed signal input lead. Where are they in a standard V6 04 mustang (actually its the 40th Anniversary Mustang) not that it makes a difference?

I could ground the parking brake wire if I'm not mistaken. and I think the car speed signal wire is the orange-striped white wire inside the passenger kick panel and is also know as the VSS lead so I've read, but the reverse wire I can't find. I've done research on the whole wiring process. No such luck I can't even find a wire diagram of the car so can some1 help me?

Yes the VSS in the passenger side kick orange/white.....I went to the taillight for the reverse....Yes the parking brake wire can be grounded but once you hit 18 mph the video will still go away....Did you do the video bypass yet?

I haven't installed it yet I'm still doing some research on the reverse gear signal... you said you went to the taillight for the reverse. you went all the way to the trunk for the wire? Is there an easier location for that wire?

Not that I could find.....Nope everything I pulled up gave no reverse wire for the mustang, so I just went to the taillight.....Are you doing a rear cam?

Man I really dont remember.....I will look and let you know...If you have a digital multimeter(dmm) just go to the reverse light in the taillight housing and test the wire....I dont remember if it was a negative or postive trigger. But anyways test the wires one at a time....One lead from the meter to the wire(at the light) and the other lead to ground and have someone get in the car and put the shifter in reverse and out...

I'm trying to confirm it and I tried to separate it from the rest of the wiring but is this it? The speed signal lead (VSS):
