Hi All. I installed the OEM dash cam on my Gen4 TRD Sport, I know a bunch of you might say why not go after market with a front and rear camera but I liked the windshield look of the OEM camera. Looking to install a rear facing camera facing out of the back window. Perhaps a Garmin. Can some of you guys or gals more tech savvy than me tell me where to pull power in the rear seat area that would power on with the ignition. I could get the Dongar pigtail but that would mean running a wire all the way from the rear view mirror to the back. My thinking is to just pull power from someplace in the rear seat area and not have to worry about running a wire near side curtain airbags. Thanks for the help!

If it were me, I'd use a tap-it connector in the engine bay fuse block, run it through the firewall, under the plastic below the doors, and up through the rear side pillar and headliner.

If you look at Cali Raised YouTube ditch light video, they'll show you how to get the wire through the firewall.
