Auto dim miror wiring-help!

Picked up an auto dim mirror for my 87
gta. Car did not come with this option so how do I wire it up? It has three wires. One to ground and the other two go where? Can both be 12 volts? Can I use the overhead console wiring to power this?

OK, so is this correct?

Blk. - ground
Red - pos. switched
Green - For cancelling hooked to reverse light. What's this for?

Is there a reason the reverse wire has to be hooked up? Can I just skip it?

If the mirror is auto dimmed, when putting the car in reverse, the mirror normals itself so you can see to back up if using the mirror.
