The RNS-E hardware can handle both a reversing camera and a TV tuner, but I think its an Audi firmware limitation. Its been a few years, but iirc the two were never an option together
The coding (documented by Ross-Tech) shows the iPod/USB interface as the same coding as the CD changer, so I guess it's "plug and play" if you ever found and installed one.
The full AMI "flag" is in a separate digit of the coding (along with Satellite Radio and AUX-in).

And as I think some of my earlier comments imply, I agree with your view on Audi firmware limitations re TV/camera.
(And of course about direct head unit connection being best)

The "backup" camera is actually on/off in Adaptation channel 4, but I've no idea where/how you can connect it separately. I wonder if you could play games by recoding the unit to be a Lamborghini.....

Edit: The USB dock for an A4 B7 is 8E0 857 925E vs the iPod being …….925D.
