Replacement tuner has arrived and I have discovered (as noted in the DVB-T thread) that it appears to be designed to switch to an AV input (from a reversing camera) when triggered by a +12v signal from the reversing lights.
Should be fairly easy to connect that up and simplify what I have at present as I happen to have the correct video input lead already (not supplied with it). 
Edit: Tested but abandoned as an idea: it also switches sound input (non-existent from the reversing camera!)  so I'm sticking with my external relay to just switch video over and keep radio/TV sound on.
