I moved the tap from the passenger side backup light to the passenger side parking light. I turn on my parking lights whenever I want to see whats going on behind me. This saved opening up the dash, installing a switch some where, and running wires down the frame to the backup camera.
Note with this approach you no longer have automatic camera activation when you put your gear into reverse.

I just wanted to say thanks, We have not done it yet but I believe this will work.
