reverse lamp wire

[sikktruk01]

need some help with my reverse camera, had it hooked up to a manual switch but now i wanna hook it to the reverse lamp wiring to turn on when the truck is in reverse. I need a 12volt (on in reverse) wire under the dash to splice into. Thanks for your help !

My truck had a relay near the master cylinder that activates in reverse for the 7 pin trailer plug on the back bumper. Should be pretty easy to spice into it and run a wire through the firewall. I have my backup light manual switch tapped into that relay so I can turn them on when I’m in park.
