can't find the reverse light wire

I'm installing a pioneer avic-f900bt and i/m looking for the reverse light wire in the fuse box, from online forums it says its a 14 pin plug, pin #9 and a green/blk wire, i can't seem to find it? can anybody help me locate it in the fuse box, maybe a photo or schematic diagram of which plug to look for?
Thanks

power tester, and check all circuits when switching your gears into reverse.

It's not that hard, it's labeled, and also your pioneer system comes with colors on how this all should look.

along the drivers side (I think), there is a bundle of wires that are going to the back, if you pop off the lid in the trunk, you can get the color of the wire, and look for that wire in the bundle going along the car. You may find the color behind the radio on a bundle traveling across to the ECU.

It's all about searching. you can start at the source, and see what things do. turn on your reverse with the engine off, and the ebrake on, and you can do the work yourself.

It is a green/silver dot wire. The black plastic split conduit provides easy access to the wires. Get 4ft of similar gauge wire and cable tie the new wire to route up to the headunit area. Using a sharp blade remove 10mm of the insulator and

solder the new wire on top. Be sure to tape it up carefully.
