Rear View Camera Wiring

I got an el cheapo Camera for $15 from Amazon.
Amazon Amazon

I was wondering where others ran the video wire. I figure Id get the reverse signal from the trailer harness (I dont plan on ever hooking up a trailer anyways, but will leave the harness functional just in case).

Well, tomorrow went and past. I had some issues with the camera (shouldve expected it with a cheap camera.

I am having issues with reverse signal for the HU... I ended up running wire all the way to the Hu from the camera and am using acc power from the HU to power the camera (having power to it all the time the truck is on is very nice). Now I need to find a reverse source for the HU...

I tried:
Black/Pink in Driver Kick Panel
Green/Yellow in Radio Harness pin 6

Neither show power... My thought then was a blown fuse, but no blown fuses... I donno...
