Quick question kinda =). speed sensor etc.

I am installing a AVIC Z1 unit into my 03 E55 AMG. I have talk to crutchfield and some other companies and they say I just have to rewire from my stock speakers and disconnect the fiber optic connections. Anyways, I was wondering if this was indeed true that in the back of our speakers we have a connection to connect a 12 guage wire to.. Also, where is the best place to get connected to the speed sensor? The reverse light? Lighting switch terminal? the terminal 12V switch I figured I would use the cigarette lighter connection since it is close enough? any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated guys. I was going to have a shop custom make a bracket to fit the unit within the slot but if anybody knows a company that has recently done it, make it and ship it to me that would be great. I know reuss or whatever makes them but I got a quote of $1500 just for the bracket! that was from the man himself too =(

thanks in advance!!

p.s. - i'm in the chicago area

oh a good ground place too.. i know of one underneath the dash but any other ones behind the unit itself? Grr and one last thing antenna booster power supply? Apparently if we have a fixed antenna we have one of these just not sure were, hopefully its a 12V max connection?
