You will require a piece of hardware to allow you to run composite video into a computer monitor. They made them years ago for home use. I have not seen one in 12 volt form. Even the ones for home use were junk. The picture was barely watchable. There is no way to convert the composite video to the separate Red Green and Blue connections that the monitor needs. Not without the piece of hardware.
