Z2 - reverse camera by-pass to watch dvd video

Here is my 2nd dumb question in 24hrs: I've set up my reverse wire correctly (when I put the car in reverse, the reverse screen comes on), but I'm having no luck with the backup camera trick. I've taken an RCA cable and connected the video out to the rear camera in. I haven't set up a switch yet, but expect that the DVD video should come on when the car is in reverse. Is there some way that dvd should be assigned to the video out, or is there something else I'm missing?

Thanks!

I assume you have it in DVD mode right?

I'll have to check when I get out of work, but I'm pretty sure I had it in DVD mode.

You also have to make sure the video output is set to dvd not nav or mirror, or whatever it's calle.d
