which cable are you using?

with the new ipods you have to use the apple composite cable for video out. the video cables that worked on the older ipods will not work with the new ipods (classic, touch...) for video out

I'm using some cable imma try to buy the one your talking about thanks... What about playing movies while driving? Any solutions so far?

I had the same problem. No Video. I read somewhere that in newer Ipods Apple inserted a chip so it only works with Apple cables. I bought them (see link below) and sure enough it works.

What about nonIpod players?? Would I be able to watch videos while park if I buy the normal RCA cables??

for ipod it wont work but if you wanna connect portable dvd player and watch movies you can do it with regular RCA cables.

Update on Ipod Video integration. I have been spending a lot of time trying to perfect my Ipod video integration for my G37S and I thought an update on what I have found out might be helpful.

Setting Your Ipod

The most important thing I can tell anyone is - before you start, go to video settings on your Ipod and set it to “Video Out.”

1. 5th Generation IPOD

For the 5th Generation Video Ipod, you can connect from the earphone jack at the top of the Ipod or from the 30-pin plug at the bottom.

I believe that you don’t need the Apple Cables for the 5th Generation but can use any cable that fits. To connect from the top use these cables: Apple Cables http://store.apple.com/1-800-M...65G/B

OR

To connect from the bottom use:

This has a charger so you can connect your Ipod to the power supply in the center consul glove box with:

With the 5th Generation Ipod, you can use a remote as well like:

I have tried all of them and settled on the IJet.

(I have a problem using the top earphone jack that I have not been able to resolve. There is a whining noise when the charger is plugged in. I never had this problem with the 30-pin plug but none of the remotes work when I use the 30-pin Composite cables at the bottom. If anyone has a solution, please let me know what it is. I have tried everything.) 2. Classic, IPhone and Ipod Touch

For the Classic, IPhone and Ipod Touch, I believe you have to use the APPLE Ipod 30-pin Composite cable. This is because (1) the earphone jack for the Classic, IPhone and Ipod Touch does not include a video out (yellow); and (2) the APPLE Ipod 30-pin Composite cable has a chip in it that makes it work. Generic cables will not work because they do not have the chip.

The foregoing is what I have learned through trial and error. If anyone has a different experience, let me know.
