Power to back up camera monitor?

Right now I have the stock head unit so I can't run the backup camera to the head unit. I plan on changing that later on down the road. I picked up a cheap backup camera and monitor from Amazon. I've got the line run from it all the way to the front. I tapped into the backup light for the camera power. I have a ground up front on the bottom of the fuse box. And I grounded the line in the back. The main concern is getting power to the monitor right now. It is a maze for me up front. I've looked at a wiring diagram, but I haven't been able to figure out from that what I am looking for under the dash. That is what I need help or suggestions to figure out.

Why not just cannibalize the backup light power, and have it run back to your signal wire to the front camera?

What I ended up doing was pulling the console and tapping into the outlet there, well the positive and ground wires to the outlet. Messed up the shift boot a little. But it all works.
