Move rear view camera to head unit

So my 86 has the rear view camera in the rear view mirror. Not really liking it but what can you do? But is there a way to move the camera to the head unit? My last 2 cars had it in the head unit and I much prefer it there. And please do not suggest I change to an aftermarket head unit. I am not gonna say that I will never upgrade it but for right now that is not in the cards. Thanks


Don

Well, here's the thing if your headunit has a video aux in, then yes it's possible.
If it doesn't then your out of luck.

It depends on the headunit. Which stock one do you have? If it is one where in other cars it does display it, then it should work with not a lot of effort.
