That sounds like a good idea. But do you know if theres a connection from the Ipod to the a set of RCA's ? I'd be interested too.

I have an RCA to headphone jack connected to my Clarion head unit. The RCA's plug into the auxilary inputs of the radio and the headphone jack plugs into the top of the ipod. I am now running a car charger to my ipod that plugs into the the bottom (USB ) of it. This has a headphone jack that I plug into the RCA/headphone cable. The charger lets me control the volume with the headunit. Here are some pics of what I have. The number for the charger is Monster Cable AICHG2IP CAR Charger For iPod. I got the other cable at target for like $4.

GUz - THanks for the pictures. But if I were to use those cables and plug a Video Ipod to the brain of my Indash, would it allow me to view videos from a pod onto the screen? Hoping taht if there was some kind of connection like this, I could use a VideoIpod as a way of looking at music videos through my indash. It would a lot more easier than burning files to DVDr's.

Joker - Yeah I think the one connection that goes to the dock (USB) is the connection I'm talking about. Not too sure. I'd be down to meet ya up at fairfield...but my license has been suspended for the time being. I cant wait to get it back and go to meets.

I think im going to get the Audio/video RCA's that hook up to the ipod. This guy showed me his in his Z28 last week and he was playing music videos. I really like how you can watch the video and listen to the song. I cant wait to buy an ipod and hook it up.

Yeah just find a RCA cable that has the video feed on it (red,yellow,white). That will display the video to your screen.
