The AUX input is for audio only, not video. It is for connecting an ipod or similar device. When you change the MODE on your stereo to AUX, you should hear the audio from your auxillary device...

Probably into the AV inputs on the TV tuner itself (under spare tire)

Your TV module is in the trunk underneath the spare tire. You need to connect an audio/video adapter to your TV module and then you can plug in a DVD player. Several companies like navtv.com sell these harnesses and adapters. Some allow you to plug in several devices like a DVD player, Backup camera, etc. and also use the steering wheel buttons. Here is a pic of a basic adapter which I found on ebay...

Those are the oem plugs to connect a rear Tv monitor or a video recorder.
AV IN: plug for video recorder
AV out: plug for connection for a screen which will enable rear passengers to watch TV on the move!
The TV button is your TV channel search button.

BTW ,this info is straight out of my 2003 manual for operating instructions for OBC.l.
