Reverse camera

I'm putting a new head unit in my 05 6.0 F350. It has a wire that is to be tired into the reverse light power that will allow the camera to interrupt what ever is on the display to show the cameras view. To save from running a wire all they to the back of the vehicle, is there somewhere behind the dash to grab this switched power?

Is there an existing wire for the video feed? Sometimes they will have a secondary wire for power.

No there isn't, It's all after market, camera too. I just need the reverse to tell the head unit it's on so it will switch screens.

I wired my camera power in parallel to the positive going to one of my reverse lights.

As for my screen, I got a really cheap no-name tft screen from ebay. It senses when a video feed is present and comes on automatically. I just found a positive under the dash that was only hot when the key was on.
