Has anyone hooked the rear camper camera ( furrion) screen to a upfitter switch on a F250 ? If so , how did you wire it ?

I have 3 switches used currently.
1. A bed camera for the 5er hitch. This one swaps the tailgate view when powered.
2. Furrion camera on the back of the 5er.
3. Cell booster.

All grounds are attached under the dash tray via a self tapping bolt.

Each power line runs to the appropriate switch wire in the engine compartment.
There are pass through wires, but they don't make much sense (on the passenger side) if your upfitter fuse/relay box is on the driver's side. I just fished the power wires through the large grommet on the driver's side, behind the parking brake.

edit: I drilled a hole in the dash tray and ran the power plug up to the monitor through that hole. When you put the rubber insert back in, you can't even see the cord or hole.

As far as #2, what gauge of wire did you use to run from the power wire of the camera to the fuse/relay box ?

16. That is just what I had laying around. The Furion factory cigarette plug wire is smaller, but they will butt connect together just fine when you cut off the 12v plug.
