Default Wiring help for my new rear mirror

Hi,
recently I ordered a brandmotion fullVue fvmr-8886… was hoping it will come with a real instruction (for dummies)…. Sadly no…
basically there are 4 wires that I need to tap…
- 12v constant
- 12v accessory
- backing signal (googled, a white+grey wire at the back)
- ground… (I am sure I can find it…)

I am having a bit problem to find a good spot to tap into a 12v constant and a 12v accessory.
I got a 2016 JKU. It equipped with a auto dim power mirror, can I tap into it? Or it only has 12v acc?

also found out something about “passenger side kick panel”… mmmm….

any help, greatly appreciated!

PS: the instruction actually indicated exactly tapping spot for JL…


JL’s but I need a JK….


JK’s….. uh….

I cannot tell you exactly which ones at this moment, but Instead of tapping into those wire looms, I'd prefer to run two wires through the firewall to the fuse box and tap one fuse for ACC and one for constant. That keeps things a bit cleaner IMO.
