Default Speed sensor and reverse lights for GPS system?

I just bought a Blaupunkt RNS 150 Travelpilot stereo and nav from Crutchfield. They're having a great deal on it. Can anyone tell me where connections to the Vehicle speed sensor and the lead to the reverse lights can be made?

I just had the Nav system installed and it works better then any other Navigation system I have ever used. It's almost as fast as Alpine's DVD Nav systems. I bought the Blaupunkt RNS-150 from www.crutchfield.com They are running a great deal on the system for $799 with software. Normally it would be $1,179 with software! If anyone is interested, please PM me. You should go through them directly, but if I refer you then they give me a $25 credit. I'll be posting a review and pictures soon, but I'll tell you that I couldn't be happier! PS, the stereo shop left the wiring diagram in my car showing the speed sensor and reverse light connections. I'm not sure if anyone else needs them, but if so I can try and scan and enlarge them to post.

Yes, you can! Actually the voice navigation prompts are overlayed on the current playing audio. It doesn't turn the FM sound on and off in between prompts. The difference in volume between the radio and navigation can be adjusted.

Hi.
I have just install mine on the car.
You can make a connection to the speed sensor just before the UC, under the dashboard, on the left. For the reverse ligth, I have connect directly under the rear ligth.
Good luck.
