I've been having a bit of a play with the RNS-D partly pulled out and it does appear as if the plug isn't making very good contact.
The way the cable leaves the plug, at 90 degrees downwards doesn't help as it's forced up as you slide the unit back in.
I think I'll contact A8 parts and see if they can supply that part of the loom from a car with TV installed and patch it in, though I think the OEM design is the same. (My plug is a non-OEM one on a video input adapter from a now-defunct firm called T-Era.)
Edit: I happen to have an old analogue TV tuner and on checking that has the same socket, so I guess there's a (lengthy) straight-through loom connecting them with this rare plug on each end.
