Reverse wire for Pioneer?

[godfearingman 10+ year member]

Where is the reverse wire on a Pioneer avh-4200nex? Looking online it says it's a purple white wire but I don't see one on the radio harness but there's on the vehicle side harness. I'm trying to hook up a backup camera on my 08 civic coupe.

It sounds like you're working on an installation project. I recommend checking the user manual for your Pioneer AVH-4200NEX or consulting a professional installer for the best guidance on wiring for your backup camera.

The manual says the violet wire with white stripe goes to the revers bulb and the light green goes to the E-Brake signal.

Do you have any wires that are cut too short on the harness that comes out of the pioneer?

If the wire is missing, order a new harness on eBay, they are cheap!!!

You may have a replacement harness on your unit. Look up new harnesses until you find one with that violet/white wire. Where it is pinned into is where your wire will be.

Yes the wires were so short I couldn't use it so I bought a cheap one off ebay but there's no violet white wire only purple/violet wires are the speaker wires

Do you still have the original with the purple/white wire? If yes, that wire's slot is the same as your new one's but just a different color (I am assuming there is a wire in the new one's slot).
