Rear-View Camera Install

Ok, I am looking to install a rear view camera. I picked up one through Crutchfield and looking at the truck, I just can't figure out the best way hook this up. I have a 2006 Ford Expedition. I have a new head unit that has a camera input line to it but looking at the back of the truck, I can't seem to figure out where is best to do this. Has anyone done this before that can provide me some pointers? Also, where is the reverse line that I can tie my receiver into? My receiver has a reverse connection line in it that I need to connect to the truck but I am not entirely sure where that line is at.

Thanks.

reverse wire. If you have the tow package look at the round plug at the back. the cover has a diagram. find the reverse plug. Middle one i believe. go to back of plug and find the middle wire. On the f150 its black with a pink stripe. then go to your door sill. Pull up on it and it should pop off. Then look for the wire.

Ok, stupid question. The round plug you are speaking of, is that the actual plug that a trailer will plug into for power? I do have the tow package and there is an electrical plug back there next to the hitch. I can check that out when I get home tonight.

Your reverse wire is also in the passenger kick in the harness towards the rear. Look for the black/pink wire
