ok ipod problem
 
i dont know if i need the ipod connector that comes with the car to watch videos. but i have an AUX cable YELLOW and WHITE that plugs into the aux ports and the other end goes into the Headphone jack of the ipod. i hit the aux button the movie is playing on the Ipod but not the screen. The sound from the movie is playing on the speakers but not the video. and from time to time the message video will be resumed when vehicle is stopped but the car is in park not moving. i tried turning everything off and back on nothing works. any ideas/suggestions?

Well for starters its going to be extremely hard to get a picture from the headphone jack. :7:

chris9012 01-26-2008 03:19 PM

well idk i figured if the headphone jack goes from the ipod and splits into a yellow and white wire there must be a reason that it has a yellow wire on the other side why would it be there. i guess ineed the ipod connector

which ipod are you using, and have you looked at the video settings on your ipod to see if video out is enabled?

chris9012 01-26-2008 03:27 PM

yeah it was my friends the new new one the small squared one . not the touch. but it has video we went to video out and enabled it but we tried to play the video and on the ipod it says u need the cable for the ipod. i didnt think i needed it though if i had that headphoen jack wire into aux ports. guess i do

i posted somewhere earlier that you don't need the apple connector, just swap the white/red with the yellow connnectors into the aux and it'll all work, you don't need apples connector, just swap the colors till it works.

Like above, it only works on the older iPods prior to the iPod Touch/Classic/iPhone generation. I know cause I've tried on my iPhone before and it does not work. You MUST use the Apple Composite AV cable if you want video output for the new line of Apple products from now on.

Here is a full, in-depth explanation of the old and new methods for video output: http://www.appleinsider.com/articles...th_review.html
