Using your YouTube videos as help to install new head unit and USB ports, thanks!!! Old truck help is great. :)

My truck (XLT model) has a factory rear camera which displays in rear view mirror. My goal is to display this video feed to the head unit via RCA ports.

Do you know how to identify the factory video input wire and where I may find it?
My hope is to use a ttap connection to branch it off to the heat unit using a spare RCA video wire. Preferably over redoing the whole camera setup.

Sure, here are the wiring identifications for the rear-view camera so you can connect it to the new radio. Check out the images (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
