For power to the backup camera, can I use the same T-Tap to the white wire of the head unit's main power harness? Or should I tap from a different wire?

I see from this wiring thread:

That the white wire on pin 43 is the amp turn-on wire. So, I guess Gen5DIY is using this same wire to send power to the faceplate
All that being the case, I don't see why I couldn't use the same white wire as a power source to the backup camera.
Ofer?
EDIT: After measuring 12v on the wire when the key is turned on, I just tried it. The white wire works perfectly for powering the reverse camera.
