Saves time having to run to footwell.

The factory harness with the reverse gear signal is the large 28-pin one, located in the head unit cavity (see jtsimaras' picture in his post #11). On other BRZ, Scion, and Toyota models, that plugs into a socket on the back of the OEM HU (along with another pair of harnesses for power and speakers).
The 28-pin harness has the wires going to the factory mic and aux jack, plus leads that provide the HU with the reverse gear and vehicle speed signals. It doesn't have anything related to a camera (other than the reverse gear signal).
Note that FR-S models do not have the reverse gear wire pinned there. Some BRZ and 86 models outside North America may also lack that wire. In that case, you would have to tap into the wire in the driver's footwell, as jimmillion (the OP) wrote.
The Canadian-installed AVIC-X9310BT uses its own mic, and its own custom adapter harness for aux and USB, so it does not use the BRZ's 28-pin harness at all -- the 28-pin is left loose behind the AVIC (actually, I hope the installers tied or taped it down).
The harness with the black plug that jtsimaras referred to is the power/speaker harness for the AVIC. The other end of that goes to 10- and 6-pin connectors to fit the BRZ's factory power/speaker harnesses.
In later model years that have a factory camera, there will also be a separate 16-pin harness with the wires from the camera. I would think that if Subaru Canada continues offering a package with the AVIC-X9310BT in a car with an OEM camera, they would include an adapter harness that connects from the car's 16-pin to the camera input on the AVIC's 24-pin. This adapter would also have to grab power from somewhere else to provide to the OEM camera.
The factory 16-pin also has a lead with the car's parking brake signal. So actually, in earlier years without an OEM camera you should find that the AVIC adapter harness already includes a leg with a 16-pin connector to grab the car's parking brake signal.
Could any of you post some better pictures of all of those harnesses that Subaru Canada installs with the AVIC, stretched out and untangled so we can get a better idea of how they're configured?
