Default Power for dash cam in overhead console.

I have a 2019 Suburban and I'm wanting to install a dash cam next to the rear view mirror. I know there are some LED indicators there, but is there any 12 or 5 volt source that I could tap into for the camera? I really don't want to have to run a power cable across and down the A pillar to a fuse block.
Anyone have a wiring diagram of the console or know where I can find one?

Thanks.

After receiving no answers here, I took the upper console apart and couldn't find any switched 12 volt circuits to use to power my dash cam. So, I pulled the right side instrument panel fuse panel cover and checked all those fuses , but thay were all powered all the time. I pulled the cover off the left side and finallt found a 1o amp fuse, #8 labeled SEO RAP that is switched with the ignition, so I put a fuse tap in that position and one of the other fuses for the tap for a constant 12 volt source. I mounted the dash cam in front of the rear view mirror, next to the sensor cover, tucked the power lead in under the headliner and pulled to driver's side A-pillar cover anr ran it down and into the fuse panel. So, I have it installed and working now, and thought I'd pass the information about a switched circuit in the panel that can be used for low power accessories if needed.
