Default Accessory power in trunk

Anyone know of any accessory power in the trunk area I can tap into. I'm wiring up a rear view camera but want it on the whole time the key is turned on. The closest place I can think of is the rear cigarette lighter which I don't want to go all the way too. I have the touring so i know that bose has an amp in the back underneath the foam anyway I can tap into that? already got rid of all my blows (bose).

Why would you want the camera on at all times is the bigger question

Only when the key is on.

I wonder if the power to the reverse lights is enough? Maybe if the bulbs were replaced with LEDs?

Yep... the entire time I am in reverse

Not sure why the OP wants the camera on ALL the time, maybe his review mirror broken?

It wouldnt be on my HU all the time just power to the reverse camera would be all the time. ill have power to the actual camera all the time and I have the reverse signal wire from the back of head unit connected to rear signals so when I put in reverse HU will switch to camera but if i want i can manually select it and view the camera while driving. This is why i want power all the time. ha
