Front camera modification?

Just thinking out loud here...please bear with me. So today I had to hook my Frontier to my coach tow bars to test fit a stone guard I built. When by myself it is always a pain in the butt to get the truck close enough to hook up, but not inside the radius of the tow bar. It sometimes requires me to move the truck a few times. Thinking about the problem, I thought about those wired/wireless backup cameras that you see for sale everywhere. I'm wondering about installing one in the front grill of the Frontier, so I can see the tow bar without getting out. Now here is the question: Does anyone know of a way to connect a backup camera to the Nissan video screen system so I could just look at the video output on the truck and see the front camera? I would guess an A/B switch would be necessary and maybe some kind of harness adapter? Any help from you folks who play around on the video/audio side would be most appreciated!

I will quickly say I don’t know the answer to your question. However, neither it seems does anyone else who is reading the forum at the moment so I offer this for the sake of discussion.

If this were my problem the answer would be to have a separate monitor – that is, a dashcam with camera being remote from the monitor/control unit. This particular camera is not wireless but does come with an 18’ cord. I have this set up with the camera on the rear window of a camper shell and the monitor in the pocket ahead of the gearshift. Works great and I understand there is a waterproof version of the camera.

The big problem for your single purpose is it is an expensive solution, but if you are considering a dashcam at all this format would be ideal.
