Does anyone know which video cable to use for the iphone or have a cable that you recommend?

 

Your cable should have come with the car if you have the Premium package. It is specific to this car as it has a different connector. It looks like this: https://www.myg37.com/forums/audio-video-electronics/176841-fs-g37-ipod-connection-brand-new-pics.html

 

But you can't play video with that can you..? What do you use to connect the iPod to the A/V inputs?

 

That connector is for ipod audio only. You need to get a video cable even for regualr ipods.

 

I'm pretty sure the iPhone will not play video through the headphone jack like some other ipods. You have to get a cable that plugs into the bottom.

 

Yea, I knew that already. I just didn't know if the only cable I can use is that $50 oem cable from apple which it doesn't specify if it works with the iphone.

 

My bad; I didn't read carefully and see you are looking for a video cable.

 

Ok, just making sure i had to figure out the hard way. I bet the have some third party cables for the iPhone have you check any places like Best Buy etc.?

 

Not yet. I've checked online, but so far, they're all for the ipod.

 

iPod Touch or old school iPods?

Yep thats the only cable that will work for the newer iPods/iPhones since there's a chip somewhere in the cable that allows them to output video. For any iPod prior to the iPod Classic, the fat new iPod Nano, iPod Touch, or iPhone, you can get away without using the $50 OEM Apple Composite Cable.

 

I'm going to grab one from Apple tomorrow and try it out.

 

Keep us update, id like to know also.

 

I have the cable and I use it with my iPhone. I like it better than Infiniti's cable even though I lose the integration, which I is fine since it's a pain in the *** to use anyways. Apple's cable gives me more control of the iPod directly, sound reproduction is much clearer, I can look at pictures on the screen, I can watch videos (VERY useful while warming up the car ), and best of all: no stupid "accessory not compatible" message when I plug it in every time.

Just note that the cable does not charge your device. However, the Apple Composite cable also has a USB plug on it so you can buy a car charger if you want it to charge when you plug in as well. After this, it'll essentially be like Infiniti's cable, with the advantages and disadvantages from my own personal use listed above. The car charger that I bought is this and it works well: XtremeMac InCharge Auto Charger
