Any ipod interfaces that have video out?

[kevlo911 10+ year member]

Since the Eclipse Ipod interface doesnt work too well with the AVN5500. Is there an Ipod interface that has a video out for the "Music"? I have an Ipod Video, but it only video outs the Movies and Images. I know I would have to control everything from the Ipod but it would be better if I could look at it from the screen on the AVN rather than the small Ipod screen.

No. The iPod doen't have video out so there is no way for the interface to.

Um I have an Ipod Video and it DOES have video out but only on the Movies and Images. I want to be able to see everything on my Ipod screen on my AVN.

yeah but there is not an interface for it,

what you need is a video mini to rca, the mini goes in to the ipod. the audio/video rca goes to the HU.

There is not an output for the video decoder in the iPod Video. There are audio outputs in the form of the headphone jack and the line out in the sync cable. The only output for the vid decoder is the screen on the unit itself. There is absolutely no provision for an external display on the iPod. If you want to play video from your iPod on a different screen, you will have to transfer the file ot a different device and use an outboard decoder, i.e. a computer.

Umm, I can already output the videos on the Ipod. I have the 3pin style headphone jack that has rca's on the other end. You must not like to listen. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/waycrazy.gif.f4a380c3f94043939fd369defd9e6be2.gif

Really? Sorry I misunderstood. Did not realize that capability was there for the video decoder. Wasn't aware that the headphone jack was a 4 contact with video. As far as the total display, i.e. all the menus and so forth, I'm quite sure that you are SOL unless someone makes a 3rd party program that will port that to the video contact.

Yea, it's cool. I guess I will just have to look down at Ipod while driving like I used to haha. Hopefully Eclipse will make a better Ipod interface in the near future.
