Where to get juice for the backup cam?

[Denisk]

Long story short, my stock audio H/U is acting up, decided to go aftermarket. The new single din Kenwood I got has an IN for a back up cam, so I thought why not hook up a cam. Now, for anyone who did this, whats the easiest place to tap into the wire that triggers the reverse lights? Thanks in advance and cheers!

I'll take rear tail lights for the win Alex.

I'd look for ignition-hot wires in the trailer wiring harness.

I'd rather be able to switch it on anytime, not just in reverse.

Big thanks to all of you! I hear you on being able to have it on all the time: will try to see how the new H/U operates for that first!
