Default Control of Rear Camera?

Question:
Is there any way to modify the operation of the camera and or dashboard radio display to enable the camera while driving down the road? This would be a good safety enhancement helpful when towing a car or trailer and to monitor when it is clear to cut over when passing.

Background:
We have just purchased a 2017 BT Cruiser 5245. The radio does not appear to have any vendor identification in order to get a manual or technical info. It includes the rear camera display that only works when the gear shift is in reverse. Since the radio controls speakers mounted to the outside and bedroom areas it has to have been installed or modified by Gulf Stream.

I am looking for a setup option to manually display the camera when needed.
Does anyone know how to remove or access behind the radio?
Is it possible to install a manual switch in place of the wiring for reverse gear to manually control when the camera is displayed?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or recommendations!
