Will ipod video show on nav screen?
My G37 will have the ipod connector, but I am not sure about the standard video and audio in connectors. Are they there in the G37?
Also, and this is my main question, will ipod video play on nav screen through the ipod cable? Or do you have to unplug it from that cable and plug it into the RCA jacks to get video onto the nav screen?

I have had my video ipod connected to the G37 via ipod dock connector and couldn't figure out how to make the video show on the nav screen.
You can, of course, plug into the audio/video headphone jack and input video through the composite rca jack ( wherever THAT is?? ). It just seems like a waste since the video signals are available on the ipod docking connector.

If they are there you'll have no problem watching movies from your ipod when the car is not moving.

When I went to the unveiling on the 16th one of the dealers had his ipod hooked-up using the ipod video cable and was playing videos directly on the screen. Didn't get a chance to ask about specifics...

^^^we use our video iPods and the RCA interface from Apple all the time to watch videos on our TV and also in my wife's Odyssey. I can't imagine connecting up to the NAV screen on the G would be too difficult, although I understand that it would probably not work while rolling.

Right, it should absolutely work via the RCA cable input... but it also has the ability to work via the IPOD Dock connector digital connection. I believe the video quality is better via the dock connector as well.
We are just trying to figure out if infiniti enabled this feature of the dock connector or not.
