You need the infiniti adaptor to be able to plug in your iphone/ipod. You can buy them at the dealer for $50 or try to find some online or someone selling them here on the forum.

You don't have the connection to use the iPod adapter. If you did, it would be just to the right of the composite video connections. That's what the yellow/white/red are for. You can connect video sources to watch through the AUX connection on your screen while the car is parked.

You do not have the premium package which includes iPod compatibility.

Ah ok that makes more sense. So as far as being able to plug up my iPhone, what would I need to do/buy?

The iPhone uses the same plug in adapter as an iPod. You can't plug it into the car as is. Perhaps there's some sort of adapter that would utilize the 12v port next to the AUX video inputs that has an iPhone connection on the other end? I really don't know but you could look for one like that.

All you need is Stereo Headphone To RCA Adapter Cable similar to something like this Amazon.com: Your Cable Store 6 Foot 1/4" (6.3mm) Stereo Headphone To RCA Adapter Cable: Electronics

This was one of the reasons I had to opt for the S premium package but its not that difficult.
Your not gonna be able to change the tracks or volume from your steering controls or anything. Just put the input on Aux and make sure to have your ipod on your lap or docked somewhere close by in case you need to change track or pick up your phone. Oh and welcome to the forum.

I bleieve that what you posted has a full sized headphone plug (6.35mm). The iPod/iPhone has a mini plug (3.5mm) so you'd need the smaller one to fit in your iPhone or iPod.

But I believe you are correct about not being able to use the controls in the car to control it when connected this way.

You can get one at the closest Radio Shack if you don't want to order and wait and pay shipping.

I completely forgot about this option until bluntz617 mentioned it. I guess becasue mine came with the dedicated iPod connector so I never thought about it.

Welcome! Take a good look at the front end of your car or take it to a collision shop, that you trust, to be checked out. It looks like the front bumper has been replaced or repainted. You're going to want to make sure there wasn't any major collision work done on the front end.
