Question Constant or Switched Hot Wire in Trunk

Hey guys, I have finally been able to add some mods to my mustang and one of the first that I am going to do is a rear backup camera.
I have the camera already wired to my head unit and now the only thing I have left is power to the camera.
The power requirements are pretty slim, 12v and 150mA. So far I have not been able to find a constant hot in the trunk. I was even looking for a switched hot wire but was not able to find it. The one thing that I have not really considered yet is using the revers light wire as power to the camera. But I would prefer a constant hot wire.

Has anyone been able to find a constant or even a switched hot wire in the trunk area at all?

Thanks in advance for the help! Happy New Year.

The trunk lamp wire should be always hot going to the open switch. Could try that.

FPDM located in the spare area has power when the car is running if I'm not mistaking.
