iPhone video trouble with Kenwood DNX5140

I tried searching for this and couldn't find anything specific...

I recently got the Kenwood DNX5140 installed with the iPod/iPhone video adapter ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ef=oss_product ) and I can't get any video!

In the ipod menu I go to the bottom and select "Video" and it actually shows me the list of videos in my itunes library. I play a video and I hear the audio but my screen is just black. The only thing I can think of is that the installers didn't hook it up correctly but I'm doubting this for some reason. I took it to California Car Sounds in LA and the guys seemed like they knew what they were doing and they were aware that I should be able to play videos with the unit. I'm stopping short of taking everything apart myself and checking to see whether or not it's properly connected.

Does anyone have a similar setup with the DNX5140 or 6140 that has gotten video from the iPod/iPhone to work with the head unit?
