Your simple elegant method sounded great.
I too have what my h/u manual terms as "the AUX (RCA) connector" so I thought I was on a winner using your method, even though there is no mention of video playback (audio only). I would describe my connector as needing a headphone jack rather than the usual RCA for composite video. Which does yours looks like? If you can tell me which h/u you have I can check myself.
I have a spdif cable with a mono headphone-type plug one end and a male RCA on the other so I poked it into the AUX connector and indeed that made the AUX symbol go active on the touchscreen but plugging video from the camera, then touching AUX gives nothing. I guess therefore that you have a video connection from your AUX input to the h/u which mine lacks.
I think the potential for video is there as the AUX symbol on the h/u screen shows 3 RCA's and one is yellow and the others red and white.
