I decided to do this write-up when I was almost finished with this install so I apologize for the limited pics. I still think it could help someone thinking about tackling this themselves. I initially had this dash cam on my F150 but took it out when I traded it in. This is a Thinkware F200 Pro front and rear camera install on a 2020 Expedition Max XLT, but I think it should work the same on any cam and any trim.
Here is the camera I installed.

Here is the fuse tap I used.
Fuse Tap kit
First I popped of the plastic piece above the rear view mirror. Simply pull down and it should pop off pretty easy. This unit has a wire for power and a wire that runs to the rear camera so I left enough wire hanging down to connect and ran the wire though the clip thats already there and tucked it into the headliner.
Tuck the wires into the headliner to the passenger side. Remove the rubber gasket trim around the door but only remove the front part where you are working Remove the cover on the "Oh shiiiii" handle and use a 10mm socket to remove the two screws. Then the whole panel should just pop right off by pulling.
There are already clips to clip the wires in under there so use those.
Run the power cable down pillar to the fuse panel by your feet in the floor board. You can see in this picture where I attached the ground.
The cover of the fuse panel is on the side where your feet go. Once again just pull and it pops right off.
I attached the constant to fuse #29 and the accessory to fuse #37
At this point, I hooked up the cam and made sure everything worked before moving onto the rear cam.
Remove the rubber door gasket from the top of the front and rear door and run the wire along there being careful not to put it where it will interfere with the airbags. Once you're past the doors tuck it into the headliner till you get to the rear lift gate.
Apparently I can only upload 5 photos so I'll continue with the rear cam install on the next post.
