Default +12 Accessory wire in trunk area

Hi guys,

Is there a +12v accessory wire somewhere in the trunk area that's easy to tap into? Is the trunk light +12 constant and switched by a ground? Is there a factory power antenna wire?

I already installed a reverse camera that works fine. It's currently powered off the reverse light though. I'd like to switch it to accessory power. My HU has the option to switch to camera view when not in reverse but it requires the camera be powered separately from the reverse wire. I also can't really use the video and parking line calibration modes because the camera isn't powered on unless I'm in reverse.

Thanks!

Power accessory outlet behind the seats - closest ignition-on constant source.

That was gonna be my fall back plan if there's nothing closer. I just hate to pull so many panels again 😣

I guess the other trunk stuff would be constant power with ground trigger if anything? (Trunk release, trunk light)
