Default Getting power in dash for rearview camera

I'm adding a non-oem backup camera with a 4" display installed into the big cubby on the dash. Anyone know the easiest way to tap power for the display?

Well I went to the AutoZone to pickup a fuse tap as these little devices have worked well for me in the past. Unfortunately Land Rover fuses seem to be an odd size and they didn't have a fuse tap that matched.

There is a rubber plug under the brake booster that you can cut a hole in to run a wire in, and keep the seal. It's a pain to get to. I've got a few pictures which may or may not help. I ran a 30 and a 40 amp power to the rear boot through this spot.

I just use my mirrors and sometimes actually turn my head around.

Default LR3 uses MINI fuses and Add a Circuit adapter available for MINI

Below is link for the Add a Fuse fuse tap device that you need for what is call a MINI fuse. I use them often. They are not found at every auto parts shop but they are not all that exotic either. The pdf shows both the MINI and ATO sized fuse taps.

Often when I go to purchase the MINI tap, the shelf is bare whereas the bigger ATO size that you found is in stock. It may be that is because the demand is for the MINI, the size you also need, that is why the MINI is out of stock.
