Connecting iPod - Displaying Video
 

I've got an AV cable that connects from the headphone output on my iPod Touch and splits into audio L/R and video. I tried a video clip from the ipod and it outputs the audio but no video. Do I need a cable that connects from the data output of the ipod for video to display or do I need to tweak some settings elsewhere?

you are lacking a video signal and need one of these

am i correct in saying you cant play video while the car is in gear or moving?

Depends on how it is setup and who might install it;)

^^^ you are correct. but you can do some wireing changes to get it to work while moving

Your right, you need to use the data output like 370z4Steve said.

If you output from the headphone socket, you'll only get audio as expected.

I wish our cars came with the proper ipod connector, but the after market ones might actualy be better.

Thanks 370z4Steve, that's what I thought.

I meant it wasn't outputting video while idle (engine off).

Why would you want the video to work while driving? That's gotta be distracting!

I dunno keep the girlfriend from yapping to me..

+ 1 lol

I have tried the standard Apple video cable with my iPhone and it worked really well. I'm not sure if it works while driving though.

It will not play video while the car is in motion. It's a safety issue.

Hey everyone ! I bought the apple av cables as instructed and all I can get is a black and white video .. Any pointers ?

Don't you hate monochrome pRon?? Lol

Just select video output from iPhone as NTSC.

haha thanks Majestickk ! we figured it out about 20 seconds afer i posted this !!
now becuase our 370z are so clever .. it wont let me play whlst im driving ! is there a way to bypass this feature . its not a handbreak sensor becuase i pulled it up and drove hahaah but it detected the car was moving !!

any pointers ?

cheers

Yup. Pull over and stop driving. Should work fine now.. :)
Seriously I have no idea. Anyone got their's working whilst on the move yet?
