Upfitter Switch Access

I'd like to install a dash cam in my 2019 F-250. Since it doesn't draw much power I want to tie directly into a upfitter switch in the overhead console. This will give me a few inches of wire run instead of having to hide the wire coming from under the dash.
So, does anybody know how to remove the cover to get to the back side of the upfitter witches?

DC is probably 5v and that will require a converter.
The upfitter switches will pull out and they are held in place with tension clips, if they are oem, the wiring will not be at the back of the switches, it will be down at the e brake area, you will see a bunch of short as hell wires they expect the normal human to be able to attach to, good luck with that, look in the owners manual and it will give some straight forward instructions.

I looked at a 2018 model. It does send 12v to the upfitter switch itself, but it's only on a 5 amp fuse and runs several of the switches.
