Question Help!!! Rearview Camera Wiring??????

I'm currently trying to install a wireless rearview camera in my 2000 ML430, and I can't seem to find a positive and negative wire to connect the camera to. I looked at my father's ML320 rearview camera hook up and it looks like they shop that did his, tapped into the wires coming from the wire harness at the top of the trunk that may lead to the back dome light. Does anybody have suggestions or can tell me how they may have did there install? This isn't my first rearview camera install either, I install one in my accord with no issues. Thanks in advance!

I removed the tailgate cover and tapped into the feed for the rear wiper. I determine when the camera is on because it is not connected to the backup light.
I hope this helps you. !
