Are asking is there an input connector such as an HDMI that provides connection from a video source to the nav screen? I'm not aware of any such feature.

Yes or an RCA video input jack. Was thinking about adding an IR camera to the truck and so it would be nice if I am able to have the image displayed directly on the stock display.

What's the application? Just a dashcam function?

A bit pricey, but living in rural Colorado I can appreciate its utility. Takes only 1 deer avoidance to pay for itself (and I've had a couple close calls, one of which was a double header -- served into the left lane to avoid deer #1 and then had to serve back to avoid deer #2!).
Manufacturers seem really sensitive about adding distractions to the infotainment screen, so it's unlikely any of them will add an aux video input. My Lexus has the rear entertainment option -- the DVD goes into the infotainment unit, but can't be viewed in the front unless the car is stopped. Same with the nav system -- can't be programmed unless the car is stopped. MB provides an electronic oil level sensor that requires scrolling through 5 levels of menus to reach while driving, but don't confuse this with distracted driving (lol).

I very much doubt RCA jacks are used in anything modern anymore and certainly wouldn't be implemented in modern input signal designs.
